      great video! I would have included the temple walks behind the old town (Higashiyama). Seeing you mentioned Shirakawago and some onsen towns, I think Hida Furakawa would rate a mention, as would Kamikochi! :)

    I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo.
    I really like the old town of Takayama and I go there from Tokyo every summer.
    In the old town, you can compare sake and drink delicious coffee and eat Hida beef (飛騨牛), one of the most delicious meats in Japan.
    If you like the old culture of Japan, delicious foods or beautiful nature, I recommend visiting Takayama!

    I visited Takayama old town and Shirakawago in March. Drove from Kansai airport to Takayama where I stayed at a ryokan on the first night. Went to old town the next morning and proceeded to Shirakawago after a delicious hida beef lunch. So beautiful. Greetings from Malaysia.

      Takayama is my favorite city in Japan.
      We can see vestiges of small Kyoto and it makes me excited.
      You can enjoy walking Shirakwago in summer and winter. The air of mystery about Oku-Hida-Onsen calm me down.
      Thank you for your detailed video!!

    Love this one J-G! When people think of visiting Japan, it’s easy to only visit the ‘big’ cities, but hopefully videos like this will make people think outside the square. We are avid Japan travellers and must say that Takayama holds a special place in our memories. My highlights of Takayama? Sitting at the park below Daioji Temple with a Takayama beer and watching the world pass by; driving to Shirakawago and returning via Route 360 to visit the small villages ; sukiyaki and Hida beef at nearby Hida and umeshu from one of many local breweries. You won’t regret it 👊🏻

    Good video. I can tell, since our family was in Takayama just last month (July, too hot though), and visited all those places (except the festival, obviously). What did we enjoy most? Hard to tell, to us they were all equally great places! We spent 5 days in Takayama and its surroundings, and that seemed an appropriate amount of time.
    I could also recommend the temples and shrines east of, and above the old town. They are jammed next to each other, therefore long walks are NOT required between them like in Kyoto. Also of note are local restaurants, which are plentiful. Unfortunately many close early, like at 7 pm.
    To get relieved and refreshed from Tokyo and Kyoto, stick Takayama between them!

    I consider the hida beef a must!! When we went to Takayama we had no idea Hida beef was a thing and tried some skewers from a small establishment...OMFG, they were DELICIOUS, top beef I had even eaten. Later we found out these were A5 grade beef, just like Kobe beef. And proceeded to eat more and more meat in town 🤤🤤 We also had medium raw sirloin sushi and it was amazing 👌

    The Showa Museum in Takayama is one of the coolest museums I’ve been to. The downstairs is set up like a street full of shops from various parts of the Showa era with all kinds of period stuff around. Upstairs has a neat setup of a school room and a bunch of posters of famous enka singers. There’s also a functioning jukebox at the bottom of the stairs you can drop a few yen into and blast some Misora Hibari to set the mood.

    This was a very good video. It was informative without being too long or boring. Great job! One thing I was puzzled or confused with, so I'm hoping you can clarify for me, is you mentioned Shirakawago. I had read that Shirakawago was a 50 minute bus ride north of Takayama, so to me it was a separate town and not part of Takayama. Since I'm planning my first trip to Japan, I may be confused, so I'm hoping you can clarify this. Appreciate your help. Thanks, Ron

    • @japanguide

    Takayama is so dreamy! Being surrounded with mountains in a small town is like being in an anime. I made a video about other things to do in Takayama and there's things not mentioned in this video!

      We recommend trying the local delicacy: Hida Beef. You can find some really nice restaurants located in the old town!

    For showing the Japanese pronunciation, Jin'ya is better.
    Jin'ya has 3 sounds; Ji-N-Ya, じんや.
    Or, 陣屋 in two Chinese characters; Jin-ya, じん-や.
    The separation is between N and Y.

    With no remarks, Jinya should have only two sounds: Ji-nya.
    Most Japanese would take NYA as a cat's miaow sound.
