The spirit of the journey

Known as the “land of the Rising Sun”, caught between tradition and modernity, Japan is a country that fascinates.

This enigmatic archipelago is the land of the samurai, where local art and craftsmanship take on their full meaning.
This central region of Honshu island is home to the renowned Japanese Alps, which cross the entire country.

Small, picturesque villages bear witness to Japan's grandeur and richness.
From the narrow lanes of Kanazawa to the paved alleys of Takayama, you will have the chance to discover the unique atmosphere of Shirakawago.

ONE NIGHT IN A MINSHUKU

IN THE HEIGHTS OF TAKAYAMA
A small town perched atop a mountain amid old wooden houses and craft shops, this village has preserved its old-world charm. It is the ideal place to sample sake in its many forms, with six breweries to explore. From Takayama, set off on an excursion into the Japanese Alps.
Takayama shines brighter still in spring, with one of the country’s finest festivals featuring parades of ornate floats.

Takayama

Au nord de la préfecture de Gifu, Takayama est une ancienne ville féodale connue pour ses anciennes maisons de bois qui, par leur alignement et leur hauteur uniforme, donnent aux rues une beauté linéaire. La ville est également connue pour son festival qui se tient tous les ans au printemps et à l'automne. Il a été créé au 16e siècle et est l'un des trois plus grands et plus beaux festivals du Japon. De grands chars flamboyants parcourent la ville offrant aux regards émerveillés un concentré de la magnificence de l'artisanat de la région.
