Takayama

Takayama is a delightful & atmospheric riverside town set amid the spectacular Japanese Alps in Central Honshu.

Much of its historic charm & traditional architecture still remains evident within the Old Town’s wooden houses and narrow lanes. Takayama is fairly isolated and it requires a little effort to reach, however you will be rewarded with a true sense of traditional Japan.

Why visit Takayama ?

  • Wake up early to visit the morning market
