Takayama is a town in Gifu Prefecture, renowned for its well-preserved old town, which dates back hundreds of years. It is also famous for the Takayama Festival, one of Japan’s three most magnificent festivals. Additionally, the town serves as a gateway to various tourist attractions, including Kamikochi. These features make Takayama a popular destination for tourists visiting the Kanto region of Japan.

You can reach Takayama from either Nagoya or Tokyo. From Nagoya, you can take the JR Hida Limited Express train directly to Takayama. If you’re traveling from Tokyo, buses such as Keio or Nohi operate from Shinjuku Station to Takayama, providing a convenient option.

ADDITIONAL TIPS:

1. As with many other destinations in Japan, most public onsens do not permit tattoos. If you wish to enjoy a hot spring experience, it’s best to book accommodations that offer private onsens for a more comfortable and relaxing soak.

2. If you stay at a ryokan, and would like to get an authentic experience, always book a dinner with your accommodation (if available). Dinner is a highlight of every stay in a ryokan, and the chef will always use the best local ingredients, especially if it is a kaiseki dining. Some ryokans may even offer a meal upgrade for guests to try top-tier delicacies made from rare, expensive ingredients.

Suppose you book a kaiseki dinner. It is crucial to arrive at your ryokan shortly before the scheduled dinner time. If you are too late, the staff may not serve you the meal, even if you have already paid for it.

3. Based on my experience, rooms with futons are not recommended for the elderly or people with mobility issues. Always book rooms with western beds for them.

4. Some rooms at the ryokans do not have private bathrooms. You will need to bath or shower at the public bathroom. This may not be convenient for some. Thus, always check carefully before booking to ensure that your desired room has a private bathroom.
