The area around Hida City is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and traditional craftsmanship. An interesting fact is that the nearby city of Takayama, often called "Little Kyoto," is famous for its beautifully preserved Edo-period streets and its biannual Takayama Festival, considered one of Japan's three most beautiful festivals. The closest major landmark is the historic village of Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique gassho-zukuri farmhouses with steep thatched roofs.
