Takayama Ryokan

Hida Takayama (or simply "Takayama") is located high in the Hida Mountains in Gifu Prefecture. Founded in the 16 century, Takayama borrowed from the cultural centers of Kyoto and Tokyo and developed its own arts and crafts, cuisine, and architecture. San-Machi Suji is the historical district of Takayama, and strolling through this area is like taking a journey in time to 18 century Japan. Indeed, the entire town is full of character which begs to be explored. Take your time and enjoy the lovely shops, outdoor market, wonderful museums, and the famous Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village. The train ride from Nagoya to Takayama is a truly stunning journey as the train winds its way up the 10,000 foot peaks with the mountain river below.

If you go...
It is only a 90 minute bus ride from JR Takayama train station to the nearby village of Shirakawa-go. This village has approximately 180 "gassho-zukuri" (thatched-roof) farmhouses and buildings built hundreds of years ago. In 1995 this area was declared a World Cultural and Heritage Site. Shirakawa-go is a must-see destination for any visitor to this part of Japan.
