A scenic drive from Takayama to Toyama, and passing through Hida.

July 16, 2023

"Takayama and the surrounding area boast traditional architecture, opulent festivals and a range of the best mountains and onsen in Japan.

Widely considered Gifu's crown jewel, Takayama is a fantastic destination surrounded by the scenic alpine countryside of the Japan Alps . A destination in itself, Takayama is also an excellent base from which to explore the Japan Alps and the surrounding Hida area.

akayama is a popular destination year-round but is paticularly busy for the Takayama Festival in spring and autumn.

On festival days, the streets throng with visitors and locals who come to watch the festival procession and see the ornate floats. Accommodation can be hard to come by, so booking ahead is essential if you want to be in town to catch either festival.

The heart of Takayama city, the Sanmachi area of preserved buildings, attracts tourists from all over the country. You could spend a whole day wandering these old streets, buying souvenirs from the many craft shops, sampling local tea and digging into local treats like wagyu sushi.

A number of sake breweries are also located in and around the Sanmachi district, and tasting is possible.

Explore the two markets, one on the bank of the Miyagawa River and another in front of Takayama Jinya. Every morning, merchants set up their stalls, selling local produce and artisanal craftworks."

"Hida has plenty to offer when it comes to local cuisine. From the popular Hida beef to regional classics like Houba Miso or locally produced sake or snacks, Hida does not disappoint when it comes to dining.

Hida beef is one of the best types of Japanese wagyu beef one can find in Japan. Clean water and air along with nurturing care from local Hida farmers help maximise the quality of this tasty brand of beef. The texture of the beef is very fine and tender and almost melts inside the mouth. Many restaurants serve Hida beef in different styles. Enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience!

The excellent taste of Hida beef makes you want to take it back home. Packaged curry and beef jerky made from Hida beef are some choices. They are sold at souvenir shops and popular amongst travellers.

"Hida gyu shigure" is another recommended item made from Hida beef. Enjoy Hida beef cooked Japanese style, simmered with sake and soy sauce. Recommended with white rice."

"Famed for the World Heritage Gokayama villages and Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Toyama is home to some of Japan's most spectacular forests and waterways
Toyama is part of Japan's snow country, stunning in winter when the thatched-roof houses of Gokayama conjure images of Lapland. When the snow begins to melt, the Tateyama Mountain Range and local gorges draw nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts for scenic hikes, mountain exploration, and casual hot spring getaways. Seasonal seafood, such as firefly squid in spring, is another regional draw. While in the area, keep your eye out for glassware, bronzeware, wood carvings and other traditional crafts with centuries-long histories."
