Ran into a lot of Korean tourists who were talking really loudly, which was a bit of a shame for such beautiful scenery.

World Glassware Hall Inawashiro
This is one of Japan's largest glass specialty galleries, displaying around 25,000 items from both Japan and around the world. The gallery offers a wide array of products, including directly imported goods, original accessories, antiques, and decorative items, fully conveying the charm of glass products.
It doesn't really feel like a museum since there's no admission fee. It's mainly a place selling art glass products.

Nikko Toshogu
Nikko Toshogu is a shrine dedicated to the Edo shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa. It is the most visited spot within the World Heritage Site “Shrines and Temples of Nikko,” and here you can see 55 exceptional buildings, including 8 that have been designated as national treasures and 34 that have been designated as Important Cultural Properties.
The three monkeys at Nikko Toshogu, representing 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,' are super cute. The omamori is JPY 1,000 each.

Hida Takayama Old Townscape
Hida Takayama Old Townscape is said to be a town where the original landscape of Japan remains, as the streets from the Edo period still remain, and the charming town houses and noren (curtains) of old stores continue to be seen.
This old street isn't very wide, but you'll find both international and Japanese tourists, as well as student groups. There are breweries, dessert shops, and charming old-style cafes. The line for Hida beef sushi was so long that I didn't have time to try it.
