Roaming in the Little Kyoto of Central Japan - Hida Takayama.

Hida Takayama is known as Little Kyoto. In addition to its nostalgic old streets, there are also innovative food shops and addictive Hida beef. Accommodation options range from traditional hot spring hotels to modern design hotels. (If you want to indulge in Hida beef, it's recommended to find a hotel with a kitchen and buy meat from Maruaki Meat Shop, which is both affordable and delicious.) In the morning, you can experience the local life and enthusiasm at the morning market. The attractions in Takayama are very concentrated, so you hardly need to rely on transportation. You can spend a day leisurely exploring Takayama. There is also the Miyagawa River, which resembles Kyoto's Kamo River but feels more relaxed and tranquil. Additionally, Takayama is a transportation hub for visiting Shirakawa-go, Shin-Hotaka, Hirayu Onsen, Kanazawa, and more, making it very convenient to stay in Takayama.
