What do you think of our recommended top 5 things to do in Takayama? Have you ever been there? If so, what did you enjoy the most? Tell us in the comments!
great video! I would have included the temple walks behind the old town (Higashiyama). Seeing you mentioned Shirakawago and some onsen towns, I think Hida Furakawa would rate a mention, as would Kamikochi! :)
When making a Top 5 it's always tough to pick which things don't make the cut. These are all great recommendations that hopefully others take note of. Thanks!
I visited Takayama old town and Shirakawago in March. Drove from Kansai airport to Takayama where I stayed at a ryokan on the first night. Went to old town the next morning and proceeded to Shirakawago after a delicious hida beef lunch. So beautiful. Greetings from Malaysia.
It’s my hometown. We’re very happy you guys made this video :) Wish many tourists come and visit Takayama through this video. Thanks again and plz keep making such a wonderful video like this :)
I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo. I really like the old town of Takayama and I go there from Tokyo every summer. In the old town, you can compare sake and drink delicious coffee and eat Hida beef (飛騨牛), one of the most delicious meats in Japan. If you like the old culture of Japan, delicious foods or beautiful nature, I recommend visiting Takayama!
Totally agree! Takayama has such a unique charm. The combination of history, nature, and amazing food like Hida beef is unbeatable. Can’t wait to hear about your next trip there! Safe travels!
Takayama is my favorite city in Japan. We can see vestiges of small Kyoto and it makes me excited. You can enjoy walking Shirakwago in summer and winter. The air of mystery about Oku-Hida-Onsen calm me down. Thank you for your detailed video!!
Me too. I've been to Takayama and I had Hidagyu a wagyu from Hida village. ruclips.net/video/bNXxkC5GB84/видео.html I've made a video about Japan that includes Takayama, Koya-San, Tokyo, Osaka, Kanazawa and Kyoto
Love this one J-G! When people think of visiting Japan, it’s easy to only visit the ‘big’ cities, but hopefully videos like this will make people think outside the square. We are avid Japan travellers and must say that Takayama holds a special place in our memories. My highlights of Takayama? Sitting at the park below Daioji Temple with a Takayama beer and watching the world pass by; driving to Shirakawago and returning via Route 360 to visit the small villages ; sukiyaki and Hida beef at nearby Hida and umeshu from one of many local breweries. You won’t regret it 👊🏻
I like this video; great information! Please consider posting longer ones where the narration isn’t as rushed so that we can savour both the scenery and the explanation 💖 Thank you! 💖
Thank you so much! I'm heading there this trip and was lucky enough to get accommodation at an inn in Takayama smack bang during the festival week. Super excited!!
Good video. I can tell, since our family was in Takayama just last month (July, too hot though), and visited all those places (except the festival, obviously). What did we enjoy most? Hard to tell, to us they were all equally great places! We spent 5 days in Takayama and its surroundings, and that seemed an appropriate amount of time. I could also recommend the temples and shrines east of, and above the old town. They are jammed next to each other, therefore long walks are NOT required between them like in Kyoto. Also of note are local restaurants, which are plentiful. Unfortunately many close early, like at 7 pm. To get relieved and refreshed from Tokyo and Kyoto, stick Takayama between them!
Gujo Hachiman is also a great day trip. Across from Hida no Sato we visited the craft place where we made a Sarubobo. The people were so friendly. The Ashiyu in Winter were also a hit! Love Takayama.
Ive been to the rope way a few years ago, it brought back quite a few memories, especially the Onsen and hotel I stayed in, ( all featured on the video clip) its a pretty, old unspoilt town, its well worth the visit.
I consider the hida beef a must!! When we went to Takayama we had no idea Hida beef was a thing and tried some skewers from a small establishment...OMFG, they were DELICIOUS, top beef I had even eaten. Later we found out these were A5 grade beef, just like Kobe beef. And proceeded to eat more and more meat in town 🤤🤤 We also had medium raw sirloin sushi and it was amazing 👌
I'm still learning Japanese so that I can comfortably visit this place and witness the real life locations of the anime 'Kimi no Nawa' , after watching this video I'm even more excited, I hope I get done learning basic Japanese as soon as possible....Hida aka Itomori, Shane is cominggggggg🙂
Kyoto's close relative. Been on the farm in winter, was overnight in old town. I loved the atmosphere, hospitality, and of course the wonderful women there. I didnt want to leave :)
I am going in end Dec. Hopefully there is snow. I have booked a hotel for 3 nights. I wonder if anyone knows if i can visit an open air onsen without having to stay in a ryokan. it will be wonderful to soak in onsen and enjoy the wintery scenery. My bucket list :-)
Nice, have a great trip! We have a list of the best onsen in Okuhida here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5942.html For most of them you do not have to stay at a ryokan to enjoy the baths. Hope this helps!
Been planning to do this in 2020 but Covid happened. Now back to doing my itinerary and still using your videos as reference. Thank you for such useful vidoes Japan-Guide！ Also got to say the narrator's accent is so lovely! :)
This was a very good video. It was informative without being too long or boring. Great job! One thing I was puzzled or confused with, so I'm hoping you can clarify for me, is you mentioned Shirakawago. I had read that Shirakawago was a 50 minute bus ride north of Takayama, so to me it was a separate town and not part of Takayama. Since I'm planning my first trip to Japan, I may be confused, so I'm hoping you can clarify this. Appreciate your help. Thanks, Ron
Hi! Thank you very much for the nice comment. Shirakawago is indeed a separate town but is great day trip to make when staying in Takayama. If you need more information on Shirakawago, we have a dedicated page here: www.japan-guide.com/e/e5950.html Hope this helps!
Awesome video guys. I’m curious what places we’ve missed when visiting Japan. So far we’ve been to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hiroshima and Kamakura. What should we fill trip number 3 with? We’re thinking maybe Takayama, Fukuoka, and Okinawa. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Is it possible to explore/walk around Takayama Old Town within an hour? Im just inserting it in the itinerary since I need to go to Shirakawago after. Same with Shirakawago, I'm planning on exploring within 2hrs as well :(
The Showa Museum in Takayama is one of the coolest museums I’ve been to. The downstairs is set up like a street full of shops from various parts of the Showa era with all kinds of period stuff around. Upstairs has a neat setup of a school room and a bunch of posters of famous enka singers. There’s also a functioning jukebox at the bottom of the stairs you can drop a few yen into and blast some Misora Hibari to set the mood.
Hi I am from Australia. Hoping to visit in November. Your video was fantastic, How to book a overnight stay in Shirakawago Wade - House please. I am fascinated. Please let me know. Thank you Best Regards Gamini

Takayama is so dreamy! Being surrounded with mountains in a small town is like being in an anime. I made a video about other things to do in Takayama and there's things not mentioned in this video!

Stunning Takayama wood craft. A true blend of precision and artistry. The intricate details are simply mesmerizing!
高山は僕の一番のお気に入りの街です。小京都としての街並みも残り、街を散歩するだけでワクワクしてきます。白川郷は夏も冬も楽しめますし、奥飛騨温泉郷は秘湯の雰囲気が出ていてつい時間を忘れてしまいます。とてもわかりやすい動画を海外向けに作ってくださり、感謝します。

今年のGWに飛騨高山行ってきたけどホントに良かった。飛騨牛はもちろん飛騨限定の地酒にも唸らされた。
天候に恵まれたお陰で北アルプスの絶景を堪能できたし、温泉も良かった。また行きたいと思える数少ない名所。
I've been to Takayama and Shirakawa-go while doing a round-trip around Japan. It's absolutely beautiful.

I wish I’d spent more days here than I did in Tokyo, Takayama was my favorite city in Japan ❤️ I wanna go back in winter one day :)

These Sarubobo activities are really fun, right? Thank you for your nice comment!
高山出身だからこの動画の良さがわかる
いいところです🙌😄

ですよね〜
Highly recommended.. Would go again in winter... Just came back last month June... Shirakawago, alpine route, little Kyoto.. Beautiful
Visited Takayama back in 1982 and fortunate to see it much quieter back then compared to today
Thank you, what a great summary 🥰 now I want to stay much longer
TAKAYAMA IS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG
I went there from Italy, incredible place!
Glad to hear you had a nice time there!
Takayama is gorgeous the photos I got there are unreal.

Looks i very beautiful place i would like to live there someday
very useful information.
Thank you very much!
Can you visit the onsen with tattoos or are all those onsen very traditional??
I wish I could put not only like, but heart instead. Amazing town and area❤
can you do a video about where to stay in takayama?
I did two of thiese five things and was worth it. Maybe next year I can enjoy the festival.
Is it possible to explore/walk around Takayama Old Town within an hour? Im just inserting it in the itinerary since I need to go to Shirakawago after.
Same with Shirakawago, I'm planning on exploring within 2hrs as well :(
2時間はかかると思います😅
I am heading to Takayama in 2 weeks and I am looking for a local tour guide there hope I will find one
Most of this stuff was already on my to-do list so I guess I was on the right track XD

Are all the locations featured in this video accessable in January or does the snow stop trains and buses running?
Yes, they are all accessible around the year, and public transportation is provided around the year.
@@japanguide thanks
I have been went Takayama for 2 times, and I'm planning 3rd time on different season !!!

what's the difference between Gero Onsen and Okuhida Onsen? Which one should I go to if I only have time to go 1? How about Hirugami Onsen?
飛騨牛
Hidagyu is very treat
Its also knows for Hyouka :D
Yeah...they used takayama as a reference.

Yo amé Takayama, estuve en un Ryokan llamado Oyado Yamakyu, fue una excelente experiencia!
the video is beautiful, however the background music is higher, than the spoken word which is hard to understand
ciao mi chiamo vito e sono italiano
sognando un giorno di andare prima o poi in giappone mi godo i tuoi video che sono sempre fantastici e molto utili , volevo chiederti come realizzi la parte animata delle presentazione video mappa personaggi e tutto il resto?
if i could choose a place to live in japan, this one would be my choise.
Is takayama the largest city by area in japan. But in google they show tokyo sapporo nagoya osaka.
Great video, but music mix is really loud, fighting with voiceover
Thank you for the feedback, we'll do our best to have the voiceover be a lot clearer!
Still a dream for me to grow up and settle here and have a life with peace..😌🌳🦋
僕の生まれ故郷ですが山の都だけあって空気も綺麗ですよ
Any local specialties to try while i’m there?
We recommend trying the local delicacy: Hida Beef. You can find some really nice restaurants located in the old town!
Excellent video, but please, turn the music down/off!!
Takayama is so dreamy! Being surrounded with mountains in a small town is like being in an anime. I made a video about other things to do in Takayama and there's things not mentioned in this video!

For showing the Japanese pronunciation, Jin'ya is better.
Jin'ya has 3 sounds; Ji-N-Ya, じんや.
Or, 陣屋 in two Chinese characters; Jin-ya, じん-や.
The separation is between N and Y.
jinya.gifu.jp/en/
With no remarks, Jinya should have only two sounds: Ji-nya.
Most Japanese would take NYA as a cat's miaow sound.
Damn, just when I was about to plan my next month's trip to Shirakawagō and the Northern Alps, you drop this video! 😳
What a coincidence! We hope you will have a great trip!
