Shinhotaka Crystal Snow Park in Takayama
At the Shinhotaka Ropeway aerial tramway, for the winter period when the world is blanketed in white, we've been holding an event since Friday, December 1 that features two themes: "Chubusangaku National Park," where the tramway is situated, and "the food and traditional handicrafts of Takayama."
This event lets you experience jointly the food culture and traditional crafts of Takayama given life by the water and wood nurtured by the vast natural surrounding, wintertime colors, and mountains of the Northern Alps.
Around Shirakabadaira Station: Nabedaira Kamakura Village
A number of dome-shaped structures made of snow and resembling what are called "kamakura" have been emplaced, and inside the domes, you can experience making traditional Takayama handicrafts (sarubobo figures, braided kumihimo cords, and decorated paper ema panels), and also sample local sakes. Near the domes you can also buy bento meals featuring Hida beef and traditional local dishes, and there's a space where Hida furniture is on display.
