Snack Time in Shirakawa-go: Enjoy Strolling and Eating

Feeling hungry while visiting Shirakawa-go? In that case, we recommend trying some street food! To be honest, dining at restaurants in Shirakawa-go can be quite expensive. A simple bowl of udon can cost around 1,000 yen! However, street food is more affordable and lets you enjoy delicious bites conveniently. Here are two local specialties from Gifu that I tried during my food stroll: ① Zensuke A Gifu specialty—Gohei Mochi! This treat consists of mashed rice wrapped around a stick and coated with a miso-based sauce. It's filling and incredibly tasty! This shop also offers other options like Hida beef skewers, sausages, and dumplings. 💰 Price per person: 350 yen per Gohei Mochi 🕰️ Business hours: 9:30 AM – 4:15 PM ② Imafuji Shoten Try the Doburoku-flavored soft serve ice cream, inspired by the famous local sake from Shirakawa Village! Perfect as a dessert! 💰 Price per person: 450 yen 🕰️ Business hours: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Other street food options include meat sushi and croquettes! Most street food vendors in Shirakawa-go accept credit cards and various QR code payment methods!
