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!
