Beautiful, beautiful city. I live in the states and I already know it's going to be the city I miss the most in Japan. I love the artisan feel throughout the city.

Takayama is like "Little Kyoto" with a lot of history mixed with modern Japan. Festival time (spring & fall) are excellent times to see the beautiful city.

Takayama is great. The best village in the area.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Takayama was everything I wanted Kyoto to be. It was like going back in time with all the historical buildings, and there weren't nearly as many people as any other Japanese city I've been to. Very walkable and absolutely gorgeous.
