Welcome to my walking tour in Japan!
I recorded this 4k video in HIDA TAKAYAMA, Gifu on March 2021.
Let me introduce a little bit about HIDA TAKAYAMA.
Takayama is a city in the mountainous Hida region of Gifu Prefecture.
To differentiate it from other places named Takayama, the city is also commonly referred to as Hida-Takayama. Takayama retains a traditional touch like few other Japanese cities, especially in its beautifully preserved old town. It now ranks as one of the prime candidates among travelers wishing to add a rural element into their itineraries.
Takayama gained importance as a source of high quality timber and highly skilled carpenters during the feudal ages. The city was consequently put under direct control of the shogun and enjoyed quite a bit of prosperity considering its remote mountain location. The Takayama Festival, held in spring and autumn, is considered one of Japan’s best festivals.
