Wonderful day trip in Takayama

Published on Nov, 2023

Japan Awaits had carefully planned out our itinerary based on our preferences. Our guide, Miyuki, was delightful. She was very friendly, professional, and spoke excellent English. She provided excellent background on the culture and history of what we were seeing. Although this was largely a walking tour, we also had a very nice driver to take us to places we couldn't easily access on foot. Highlights included Takayama Jinya, the Festival Floats Exhibition Hall, and Hida Folk Village. They arranged a very enjoyable lunch for us and even added a visit to a shop specializing in the local crafts. It was a great day.
