I'll offer more local sightseeing spots,eateries,cafes,bars and leisure facility and also I'm familiar with suburban area.

A local guide makes a difference

We really appreciated Mao’s tour yesterday. She grew up here and knows Takayama inside out. Before we met up with her, we walked around for a hour with a map, but could not connect with the city. Then it all changed after we met her! She was very friendly and enthusiastic. It made us feel a friend is showing us around in Takayama!

Thank you for your review! I really enjoyed with you just like friend. I remember your recommendation and please enjoy your trip in Japan!

Takayama

Takayama is located in the north of Gifu, central Japan. It takes about 2 and half hour from Nagoya by highway-bus. While bus riding, you can enjoy beautiful mountainous scenery, especially in winter, the snow-covered landscape from the bus window is wonderful!! Takayama is an old castle town, I am sure you will have a wonderful time while walking through the nostalgic town street!! Takayama also has a lot of high quality craftsmanship, you can experience such a skillful art by yourself!!
