Top Experiences in Kusakabe Folk Museum

New tour dates in 2024! This 1-day tour from Kanazawa visits Shirakawago and Takayama. At the World Heritage site Shirakawago, enjoy seeing the seasonal scenery of a quaint village of thatch-roofed houses. At Takayama, take a walk around the old town, where traditional Japanese-style townhouses and traces of the Edo period (1603-1868) still remain.

In this tour, your knowledgeable licensed local guide will accompany you on your journey through these local art and craft spots while offering fascinating insights into the origins, history and production techniques of the skilled Hida craftsmanship you will encounter.

Takayama is the best place to experience the fruits of this rich heritage. A myriad of local workshops and retail outlets remain and these establishments sell both folk crafts, such as Sashiko patchwork and Hanga wood block prints, and also traditional crafts borne from ‘high’ culture, including intricate wooden carving and Shunkeinuri lacquerware.
