Lozated in the northern part of Gifu Prefecture and blessed by the natural magnificence of the Japanese Alps, the Hida region is an area where living history and tradition is all around you. Longstanding and continuing traditions, such as the Takayama Festival, highlight the cultural pride of local residents, and visitors can enjoy the beauty and ambience of historically significant sites which have been preserved since the 17th century.
Okuhida is a remote area of Gifu prefecture in the mountains of the Northern Japanese Alps. This area is renowned for its hot springs and is one of the best places in Japan to enjoy outdoor baths in nature,with fine view of the Japanese Alps. Visitors can stay overnight at a rustic ryokan with its own private hot spring bath.
The highlight of Okuhida is the trip up to the moutain peaks on the Shin Hodaka cable car, from where there are great views and the chance to hike into the mountains.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to visit our region and enjoy all it has to offer.
