You can visit the old merchant street, where most of the main attractions are found. You will discover sake breweries, shops that sell local food and traditional wooden craft and furniture shops (the Hida region is famous for its quality timber and carved wooden products). Your tour guide driver knows a lot about the best restaurants and cafes in this area, so for lunch you can either take his advice, or you can pick up several delicious street foods as you wander. Try the area’s specialities such as mitarashi dango, Hida beef, miso on magnolia leaf and local sake.
