What other travelers are saying about Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato)
Well worth a visit. For a nominal entrance fee you get to explore different areas within the village and see various aspects of life from a time gone by. Plus it was gorgeous in the snow at the time of visit! There is also a craft experience center with hands on activities that doesn’t require any reservations.
飛騨の里was the first stop we had visited during our trip to Hida. We wanted to visit 白川郷, but all bus tickets had sold out. This place was a great alternative. It was a great experience for us, the houses were very special and the scenery was so beautiful. The small restaurant inside the souvenir shop, where the bus stand was located, their Hida Beef コロッケ was the best コロケ I had tried in Japan! Highly recommend to get one before you ride on your bus back to the 高山駅.
Great spot that gives you a good impression of various architecture and influences. Easy to reach by bus from platform 1 in about 20 minutes. Please check the bus departure times upon arrival. Nowadays there is good coffee for sale on the site! Well cared for attraction and informative.
This place was so nice to visit! Everything had English translations. I went in February and there was still quite a lot of snow. The roads for cars were clean as well. I was able to get a picture from the puricura machine which was ¥600. Additionally, there was a man who was a professional wood carver and explained about the craft. I didn’t make it to the night show but I was happy to see that it is something I can explore in the future. There was also a craft area by the parking area, i would advice to look online for all the crafting options.
An incredible open air museum showing the different styles and construction techniques of these incredible structures. it was so fun to learn the history of this area, the different trades and commerce including the silk worms. It was so beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed walking through the area which took us about 2 hours or so. There were also some cute shops on the side and we bought a hand carved owl from the local craftsman. If you don't have the time to visit the actual village, I would consider this a must see to experience the history of the Japanese hill towns!
