When looking at a map of Japan, Gifu prefecture is located approximately in the center, on Honshu, the largest of the 4 main islands that make up Japan. Within Gifu prefecture, Hida Takayama is in the northern area, surrounded by the Japanese Alps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city is officially named Takayama, but as it is a common name (translating to tall mountains) throughout Japan, the city is often called Hida Takayama to differentiate it. This is in reference to how the general area around Hida Takayama was once known as the Hida Province, or Hida-no-kuni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes Hida Takayama Special?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/AdobeStock_337153346-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:2000px;height:auto\" title=\"takayama old town\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 \u7be4\u53f2 \u5927\u7530 \/ Adobe Stock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to Hida Takayama\u2019s location within the Japanese Alps, the city was kept fairly isolated from the rest of mainland Japan in the past. This led to Takayama developing its own unique culture, away from the influences of other cities. Even today, with the city being much more accessible by both cars and public transportations, Hida Takayama retains a rural and traditional touch that has visitors captivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelers come to Takayama in Gifu, Japan both for the beautiful nature surrounding the city, as well as the well-preserved old town, which dates back to the feudal ages. There are also many delicious local specialties to enjoy, like Hida Beef. Hida Takayama is also known as a great place to find Japanese sake, or nihon-shu. It is also the location of the Takayama Festival in the spring and fall, which is largely considered one of the most beautiful festivals in all of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-highlight-box wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See our recommended accommodation in Takayama:<\/strong><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/takayama\/mh-takayama\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=top+things+takayama&amp;utm_id=top+things+takayama&amp;utm_content=MHTakayama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE MACHIYA HOTEL TAKAYAMA<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-to-see-and-do-in-takayama\">What to See and Do in Takayama<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know a little more about Hida Takayama, read on to discover some of our must-visit spots and things to do in Takayama and the nearby area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sec3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eat Local Street Food in Takayama Old Town<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.machiya-inn-japan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_2252-1.jpg\" alt=\"3 types of hida beef sushi in Takayama\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;width:2000px;height:auto\" title=\"Hida Beef Sushi\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9\ufe0e MACHIYA INNS &amp; HOTELS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When visiting Hida Takayama, Takayama Old Town is a must.
