During my trip to Japan, I had the fortunate opportunity to participate in the Hida Takayama Festival, a grand event filled with traditional culture and lively atmosphere. Hida Takayama is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery and rich historical culture, and this festival attracts countless tourists to witness its splendor. On the day of the festival, many tourists and local residents had already gathered around. The streets were colorfully decorated, with traditional mikoshi (portable shrines) and gorgeous floats on display, making me feel as if I had traveled back in time. Participants in the festival wore traditional kimonos, and the melodious music and drumbeats intertwined, immersing me in the festive atmosphere. The local dance performances were also mesmerizing. The dancers gracefully moved under the sunlight, showcasing the charm of traditional arts. This experience deeply impressed me with the allure of Japanese traditional culture and the enthusiasm of its people.

Hida Takayama is located in Gifu Prefecture, in Japan's central Hida region. This charming town is surrounded by mountains and is renowned for its well-preserved traditional culture and natural beauty, earning it the nickname “Little Kyoto” due to its resemblance to Kyoto's historical streets. The town’s streets are lined with traditional merchant houses and craft shops, creating a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the Edo period. Hida Takayama is also famous for its local delicacy, Hida beef. Hida beef is one of Japan's most famous types of wagyu. It is renowned for its tender, juicy, and smooth texture, characterized by the even marbling of fat throughout the meat, which makes it melt in your mouth. #japan #hidatakayama #kyushu#hidabeef #takayama_japan #japanlover

Hida Takayama refers to another historical area in Gifu. Hida Takayama is located in the Takayama City situated in the northern part of the prefecture, and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Gifu. Many foreign tourists love the authentic atmosphere of the picturesque castle town. There are some old streets where well-preserved Japanese traditional sake breweries and houses, dating back from the Edo period through the Meiji period, can be visited. Most of the buildings are currently used as gift shops, restaurants, cafes, and other facilities offering several kinds of experiences for tourists. It is also a perfect place to enjoy local specialties such as Hida beef. There is a walking trail of about 3km in length, called the Higashiyama Walking Course through Takayama’s fascinating townscape and along the former Takayama Castle. Hida Takayama developed as a lively town around the castle, though in the present day you can only see the remains of the castle in Shiroyama Park.

Mountain is actually a small town that retains the traditional Japanese aesthetics, and there is no trace of rusticity. The bustling morning market, the shrine on the mountainside and the leisurely residents are completely different from the big cities that have been visited before. The northern part of Takayama is Okuhida Hot Springs, which consists of five hot springs. Among them, Xinsuigao Hot Spring is the most remote and highest-lying hot spring, surrounded by mountains of more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the Northern Alps. Be sure to experience a mountain hot spring here! Walking in the mountains filled with the old Japanese style, it is like going back to the scene of watching the anime "Your Name", which makes people feel the quaint and warmth of the Edo River period. The sloping tile house and the wooden lattice window are all in the color of the wood. The snow scene in the mountains is also beautiful and intoxicating.

In view of the Meiji 12 years (1879), the Nissan Folk Art Museum highlighted the unique style of the Snow National House building. The double eaves with low trusses, deep and thick houses are particularly prominent. It is a master of the traditional folk architecture of the mountains, with a variety of exhibits. The sun shines from the glass window and everything is so comfortable. Don't miss this place when you like to take pictures of the sister paper. When we come, there are not many people, so you can take pictures. z

The other day, I went around Takayama's old town and ate as much as I could, but I've carefully selected some places that I want you to try✨ ① Rich Hida beef seared sushi After comparing Hida beef sushi, this place was the best in terms of both cost performance and quality🤤 I'm also happy that you get 3 pieces for 1000 yen! I ate here many times during my stay😂 This is a restaurant that you should definitely try! ② Sanmachi's Hida beef skewers This one wasn't too greasy and was delicious🤤 The meat was also very tender and melted in your mouth! The way it was cooked was perfect! ③ Jibilya's craft beer🍺 There are many different types The best thing is that they're all draft local beers! I recommend the Weizen! You can also relax inside the store!! A must for beer lovers 🙌 ④ Kinoto's Salt-Grilled Sweetfish It's great that you can eat salt-grilled sweetfish even in winter◎ It's quite expensive in winter, but it's plump and juicy🐟 I could only find sweetfish here, so it's a rare treat! ⑤ Nanairo Takayama Ramen If you want to eat Takayama ramen, this is the place to go! Rather than being heavy, it's light and peppery! Hida beef is heavy, so this lightness is great◎ ⚠️ Things to note when eating around There were relatively no abnormal lines in winter! The fat from Hida beef can make your stomach feel heavy, so it's a good idea to bring some stomach medicine!

I've actually used it and discovered some tips on how to get cheap tickets and seats with a good view, so I'd like to introduce them to you! ★How to choose a seat with a good view The Limited Express "Hida" is known as a train with a good view, especially since it runs through mountainous areas, and the scenery from the train window is very beautiful! So choosing a seat is important! ⚠️Take the right side of the direction of travel from Gifu Station The direction of travel on the Hida is reversed from Gifu Station! So it's important to take the right side of the direction of travel from Gifu to Takayama◎ Because the sections with great views on the Takayama Main Line are concentrated on the right side! You can see the scenic spots such as the Hida River and Hisuikyo Gorge on the right side of the train, but the left side is not suitable for those who want to enjoy the view because there are many walls. 🥹 Also, depending on the type of train, there may be observation seats, so you can use those ◎ ★How to buy tickets cheaply ① Make use of early bird and discount tickets e-ticket: If you use the "e-ticket" provided by JR Central, you can purchase tickets early via the internet and get a discount from the regular fare. 🫣 Especially for limited express trains such as "Hida", there are discounts for early purchase, and you can get up to 10 to 20% cheaper! Early bird: JR offers "Early Bird Ticket" and other discounts that apply depending on how many days before departure you purchase! Once you have decided on your travel dates, the key is to purchase early! I used the discount called Web Early Bird 7! ② Round-trip discount Round-trip discount: If a round-trip discount for limited express tickets is applied, the fare per one way will be cheaper. Especially if you are traveling round trip, such as to Takayama, buying a round trip set will be cheaper than usual ◎ Make good use of these methods and don't miss out on this beautiful scenery✨ #Transportation related information #Takayama

We returned to the city at 8pm and were pretty lost! It's a good idea to eat before you go or make a reservation at a place that's open late! If you go to Takayama, be sure to check out the points and enjoy a fantastic night at "Hida no Sato"✨ #Seasonal places in Japan #Takayama #Gassho-style

This summer, I got an invitation to a restaurant that specializes in Hida beef, and decided to travel to "Hida Takayama" on short notice. My travel companions are my parents and daughter. I wanted to go to a place I've always wanted to go to! So, I started with the long-awaited "Shirakawa-go". There are lots of triangular thatched roofs! Everywhere you take a picture is picturesque 🖼 Here, we had unrefined sake at a liquor store from noon 🍶 and my mother and daughter had cute shaved ice 🍧 After that, we went to "Hida". My daughter said she wanted to go to the places that appeared in "Your Name", so we went to the train tracks, the library, and the shrine ⛩! However, there were no advertising signs anywhere, and it was just a surprisingly small sign that said "This is the place that was the model for "Your Name". It's so dull. There were not many people at the shrine, and it had a sacred atmosphere. Is this the shrine from that scene? I was deeply moved. And then we checked into the hotel in our final destination, Takayama. Personally, I loved the service here so much♡ After arriving, we were offered a glass of draft beer as a welcome drink, so I toasted my father here🍻 The room was a super🉐 plan, large and spacious with a sofa. Sometimes you can only relax on the bed in a hotel, so it's nice to have a place to sit♡ For dinner, we had sukiyaki and steak🥩 at Aji no Yohei, a Hida beef restaurant run by a sake brewery😋 Since I don't eat meat, we had four servings for three people, and everyone was full😂 We also enjoyed comparing local sake🍶 We still wanted to drink, so we went back to the hotel and went to the bar on the top floor, and it was unmanned and all-you-can-drink for 2,000 yen😵💫 wine🍷 whiskey🥃 beer🍺 you can drink as much as you likeーー！ Moreover, the spacious balcony was too nice ♡ While being blown by the night breeze and looking down on the city of Takayama, I toasted my father again and again 🥂 In the morning, I was surprised to see a buffet breakfast, Western food, Japanese food, and even Takayama ramen 🍜! I was full → checked out Then I went around the city of Takayama, went shopping at the morning market, and ate Hida beef sushi 🍣, mitarashi dango, and other things Anyway, it was a trip full of "fun" and "delicious". Traveling is great! I always think that. Note: There were only foreigners and I didn't see many Japanese people (mid-late July) #Hie Shrine #Wat Hotel Spa Hida Takayama #Shirakawa-go #Hida Takayama #Hida beef #Your Name #Pilgrimage to sacred places #Miyagawa Morning Market #0 yen trip

When I saw this Nakata Wufu store in the main street of Japan, I knew that it was an old name. The Japanese always called the kimono a Wu suit. The owner of the kimono shop stayed in Beijing more than ten years ago, so I know how to lose Chinese, but I also forgot seven or eighty-eight. I chatted with her while dressing up and said that I will be the next day. Going to Baichuan Township, the proprietress said that now Baichuan Township is so beautiful, there are many that one. . Meter. I looked confused, what is good about rice, and later I went to Baichuan Township to know that the proprietress said the golden wheat.

This is a complete form of the castle town and the business town since the Edo period, so it is called the "Little Kyoto".
