Takayama ~ One of the most picturesque town in Japan
Some sights not to be missed include Takayama Jinya (the only remaining office of its kind in Japan built by the central government in the 17th century; open daily for tour), Hida Takayama Matsuri no Mori and the Yatai Kaikan museums (for tourists keen on Takayama Festival and local artistry).
Every morning a farmer’s market is held along the Miya River and in front of Takayama Jinya. Local farmers and craftsmen sell everything from vegetables and pickles to carvings and clothes.
There are many skiing resorts in the Takayama area, which are open during the winter months. The nearby mountains, such as Mt. Norikura are popular for sightseeing and trekking. Additionally the World Heritage Site Shirakawa-go is just a 50 minute bus ride away. You can experience traditional rice cooking and lunch; and also experience wearing Kimono to have a walk in Hida Furukawa.
