If you prefer to walk around town, check out the izakaya and try Mitarashi-dango or Hida Beef, both famous foods made locally.

DAY 2: GUIDED WALKING TOUR IN THE MORNING & SAKE EXPERIENCE TOUR

This morning your your private guide will take you you to visit the morning riverside markets to see the local fresh produce before a visit to the Takayama Jinya. The last remaining original government building from the time of Samurai and Shoguns.
Afternoon, visit a sake brewery to learn about the local alcohol.
Takayama is an area of Japan that has been inhabited since the Jomon Period. Let us guide you through the streets and show you glimpses of the rich history! The traditional architecture and quiet town life remains surprisingly unchanged throughout the centuries - find out why as we explain the local history and what makes Takayama so unique. Visit the Takayaka Jinya - a building from the 17th century that has been preserved as it was from the time of its construction, and is still in use today.
The nearby Hida area is famous for a unique stule of architecture that resembles hands folded in prayer. This has a practical use, but step inside to discover how roomy and comfortable it is, and why this remains unchanged.
The farmer's market, too, is a part of the tour that is sure to delight. Taste and smell vegetables and fruits unique to Japan at this market which has continued throughout the ages.
In the afternoon, we take you to a sake brewery. The freshest sake is the best - find out for yourself how its made, and what it tastes like!
