Five Days in Gifu: Shirakawa-go or Hida Folk Village?
See Gifu City's mountain views on day 1 and stay one night, then move to Takayama for three nights. Choose Shirakawa-go for an inhabited gassho-style village and Wada House, or Hida Folk Village for traditional-house exhibits with less intercity bus travel. See floats at the exhibition hall on the final day; this does not mean the street festival takes place that day.
Choose an itinerary for 5 days, 4 nights
From Gifu Views to Takayama Jinya, Shirakawa-go, and Festival Floats
For mountain views and a gassho-style village, stay one night in Gifu City and three in Takayama. Visit Gifu Park and Mt. Kinka, then move to Takayama for the city museum, Jinya, Shirakawa-go and Wada House, and the Festival Floats Exhibition Hall on the final day.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add a Gero day trip to a five-day itinerary?
Replace the Shirakawa-go or Hida Folk Village day with Gero. Take a bus from Nohi Bus Center to the stop in front of Gero Station, visit the Onsen Museum about eight minutes away on foot, then return to the same Takayama hotel. Check round-trip services and museum closures for your date. The museum closes Thursdays, or the next day after a Thursday public holiday, and December 30–31. Ask the facility about December 29 opening.
Adult round-trip bus fares plus museum admission total ¥2,520, excluded from the itinerary subtotals above. Meals, bathing, and lodging are separate; this local bus is outside the tourist pass. If you also want Shirakawa-go, allocate separate sightseeing days. Choose facilities and lodging separately for bathing or an overnight stay in Gero.
