Hida Takayama Old Townscape is said to be a town where the original landscape of Japan remains, as the streets from the Edo period still remain, and the charming town houses and noren (curtains) of old stores continue to be seen. It is a popular tourist attraction in Hida. You can feel the history and culture of the town as you walk through the rows of charming town houses with latticework. You can also enjoy strolling around the town, as there are many traditional Japanese sake breweries, renovated cafes, and general stores.

There are also many gourmet stores where you can take out food, such as buns made with Hida beef and nigiri. The area is also famous for its sake breweries, which are decorated with "sakabayashi," balls made of cedar leaves. If you like to drink, you should definitely stop by.

Walking around the town is recommended, but if you take a rickshaw, you can also learn about the various charms of Takayama from the rickshaw driver.
The town is cool in summer, and in winter, you can enjoy the beautiful snow-covered streets all year round.

    這種充滿日式風情的老街最吸引我,就算不買,光是逛也充滿趣味!

    一條不是很寬的老街,有來自海外遊客和日本當地遊客跟學生旅行,老街上有釀造廠、甜品店、還有古色古香的咖啡廳,飛驒牛肉握壽司排太長了來不及。

    清晨的時候來人比較少,而且還可以逛逛附近的朝市。
