I like Takayama so much. I like the old town and morning market. The town is not big and people are so nice. I stayed there 6 night, but it’s not enough for me. I think I will go there again.

5/5 - Excellent

Takayama is a base town to go to famous attraction. But itself also fascinating. Variety if traditional shops and restaurants. Famous for Hida beef. It is a small town that you can enjoy walking around all day.
