This four-day private route combines the cultural and natural highlights of central Japan in one continuous journey. Instead of returning to Nagoya after each sightseeing day, the itinerary moves naturally through Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Toyama, Tateyama, Kamikochi, and Matsumoto. This reduces repeated travel and allows guests to experience several contrasting landscapes while traveling with their luggage in a private vehicle. Each day reveals a different side of the Japanese Alps, from Takayama’s traditional merchant streets and Shirakawa-go’s thatched-roof village to Tateyama’s high-altitude scenery and Kamikochi’s peaceful riverside valley.
