Takayama City is known as the "Little Kyoto of Hida", and the Takayama Old Street is a famous ancient town that still retains the old streetscape of the Edo period.
📍 Gifu Prefecture Takayama City Kami-San-no-Machi and other areas
🚊 About 15 minutes on foot from JR Takayama Station
As soon as you step into Gaoshan Old Street, you will be attracted by the nostalgic atmosphere created by the dark old wooden houses on both sides, which naturally leads you back to history. The Takayama Old Street has been designated as an "Important Traditional Architecture Preservation Area" by the Japanese government, which shows its value.
In addition to the architecture, the wine shop also uses a traditional method of informing customers of the wine, which is to hang a "cedar ball" on the door. If the cedar ball is green, it means that the new wine is brewed; if it is brown, it means that the wine is mature. If you like your drink, you should pay attention. Of course, there are many specialties, delicacies and souvenirs, which are waiting for you to discover slowly.
If you have been walking around for many days, you can also take a rickshaw tour to visit the old streets, experience the ancient means of transportation, and save your energy for the next journey.
Finally, you can go to "Kihachiro" to eat Hida beef buns and "Hida Kottegyu" or "Sakaguchiya" to eat Hida beef sushi, and end this nostalgic journey with satisfaction.
