Find Vacation Rentals in Takayama, Japan

Shirakawa-ko if you wanna go must prepare, because the train from Gifu to Takayama was stop very early

It is very easy to follow the walking maps provided. People are friendly. Places of interest are very accessible from the station.

A beautiful little village in the mountain. Best time to go is during autumn and winter! Especially Winter.

Really enjoyed it. The city has a lovely relaxed energy. We spent two nights and would have had enough to do with double that time.

I like the city. It was peaceful and quiet not like the other touristic city in Japan like Tokyo and Osaka.

Quaint town with old street area and plenty of onsens (spas). If you're going between Nagoya and Kanazawa you should make a one to two day stop here.

Remember to try the local sake! Try to bring some home as well if possible. You won't get the same elsewhere.

Worth to visit if you look to a place for you to relax. This is a very quiet city especially at nite, but you could always choose to stay at ryokan when you can have full course dinner and onsen to spend your night.

Picturesque city in a beautiful area. Good onsen with free transport to and from. Lots of onsens and spas in the surrounding area

Stayed for 2 nights only, a bit short, next time to come, at least to stay 3 nights, 1 full day at the centre.

It is a good stop over place for a few days if you enjoy clean mountain air and peaceful surroundings and Hot springs.

Lovely place especially in winter. The scenery along the bridges looking at the mountain is very nice.

Takayama is very nice, quiet and relaxing, very good to enjoy the onsens. is very nice to walk around and visit the villages nearby.

The Shirakawa-go and neighboring Gokayama regions line the Shogawa River Valley in the remote mountains that span from Gifu to Toyama Prefectures.

it is a very quite town but surrounded with beautiful scenery.Felt relaxing in this town and i really love it

Sanmachi area is great for shopping. The Miyagawa morning market is fantastic - look for the craft beer and Hida beef skewers there, as well as the pudding man who will take and print out pictures of you eating his pudding!

I would say is a very nature and historical place to learn about the traditional Japanese life style, and this is the place i visit this time and i found the pace and Yummy beef there

Takayama is a city with lots of historical history buildings to visit. You may visit their old house, museum but also a nice place for visiting by bicycle / local tourist bus.

You should spend at least two days here. First day, go to Shirakawago by bus. Better not to drive, because not much sightseeing places on the way.

Takayama is such a small city that you might almost think it's not worthwhile to go there.However the city is so relaxed and amazingly beautiful with all the Japanese character that we never felt bored while we stayed there.

What a clean, friendly town this is! The food offering is superb, with quality local ingredients easily available at restaurants for all budgets.

Very quiet and pleasant area with locally made produce and food. Many areas still have the historical look and feel.

This is a laid back city where if your idea of a holiday is for sights, sounds and sipping coffee by the bistro than this is an ideal quite and clean place.

Wonderful, quaint town. Historic consturction. Friendly people. Great shopping. Nice museums. Lovely town.

The old town is fascinating and it would be well worth going at festival time to see the procession of historic floats.

Nice little town with Japanese history and culture , all you wanted to see Japanese cultures , crafts lacquer ware , taste miso and sake.

Perfect place to relax in Takayama , with onsens and sight seeing in spring time . Weather was cool and nice even to hike up the Takayama castle ruins and the Shiroyama park, which you cannot go in winter as it is dangerous, slippery and steep climb up !

It is really a small city but is the transfer point to other nearby area such as Shirakaga-wo, Shinhotaka, Hirayu hot spring etc.

we have short time to stay here but i still get some culture from that moment. So i will come there next time

Takayama in winter was very cold with December snow and it was good that we moved to a Ryokan next door after the first nite from a modern hotel to a ryokan with the natural onsen bath.
