Located in Japan’s Toyama Prefecture (one of the country’s smaller prefectures which borders Ishikawa and Nagano) is Japan’s very own Swiss Alps — the Hida Mountains. Also known as the Northern Alps, the Hida Mountains boasts beautiful and elegant scenes, as well as the view that make you feel like you’re in the European Alps.
So it’s the Alps, but in Japan.
