We loved the Takayama festival, with its parades, gilded floats, beautiful scenery, and delicious food (including Hida beef wagyu). Takayama (高山) – also known as Hida Takayama – is a beautiful city in the Gifu Prefecture, secluded in the Japanese Alps. There are two festivals held annually in Takayama – one in the spring and one in the fall. We attended the Takayama autumn festival, which was truly amazing. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. I look forward to visiting again, even if the festival is not occurring when I’m there, because the entire area is stunning.

If you decide to attend the festival, book accommodations as early as possible, as hotels and other lodging sell out months in advance.
