45-Minute Tour
If you want to extend your visit, with this option we'll visit the old town of Takayama and also further explore the spirituality of the Japanese culture visiting the Yamazakura sanctuary. We'll breathe in the tranquillity of this place and learn about its history. We'll say goodbye outside the temple after our 45 minutes guided tour.
70-Minute Tour
The historical centre, Yamazakura Shrine and Hida Kokubun-ji Temple - the 70 minute tour is the most complete option! In addition to the visits of the previous tours, we'll explore the most famous temple of the city. You'll be surprised by this three-storey pagoda and the great ginkgo tree. Did you know that this thousand-year-old tree is considered a natural monument in Japan?
We'll finish the tour outside Hida Kokubun-ji Temple.
