Best Mountains & Onsens

#japantrip

Takayama is a city larger than tokyo. Physically that should give you an idea of how much there might be to do and see for the holiday goer. Famously called Gifu's crown jewel, Takayama offers so much in the form of culture, architecture, festivals and drool worthy food and onsens.

As for the views it is constantly surrounded by the scenic Japanese Alps. The Takayama festival, a feather in it's cap, is considered as amongst the most beautiful festivals in Japan. The charming rural town has sights that are reminiscent of the Edo era.

The architecture dates to the 16th century and the narrow alleys of teahouses and sake breweries feel a world away from Japan’s fast-paced cities like Tokyo. The three-sister mountain ranges of Hida, Kiso and Akaishi are said to be the home of mountain spirits, giving this destination in the Japanese Alps a celestial level of serenity. #japantrip #gifu #japan #beautiful #nature #mountains
