"Hida no Sato" Light-up Event!! (until Feb 28th)

Do you know "Hida no Sato" in Takayama?

It's a museum that you can see same buildings as Shirakawago(UNESCO world heritage site).
They held Light-up event every day until Feb 28th.
Normally the entrance fee is 700 yen, but it's only 300 yen for it.

And the bus fee going there is 200 yen for one-way.

If you couldn't get the bus ticket for Shirakawago light-up event or you feel too expensive to go to Shirakawgo light-up event, we absolutely recommend this opportunity!

"Hida no Sato" is not UNESCO world heritage site, but I think you can feel same atmosphere as Shirakawago!

It must be a great idea that you go to Shirakawago in the day time with J-hop tour and go to Light-up event in the night! It's affordable and you can enjoy two faces of the traditional old houses!

We are waiting you at J-hoppers Hida Takayama^^
Let's join us!
