Hello from Takayama and the MACHIYA RESIDENCE INN Takayama<\/a> team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are visiting Takayama in autumn, be sure to stop by one of our favorite local spots, Shiroyama Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Shiroyama Park<\/span> \u00a9 \u98db\u9a28\u9ad8\u5c71\u89b3\u5149\u30ac\u30a4\u30c9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The park sits on the former grounds of Takayama Castle, and takes approximately 20 to 25 minutes on foot JR Takayama Station. There is a bit of an uphill walk, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The reward comes just as you finish the climb. You\u2019ll find a riot of reds, yellows, and browns during the autumn season. Foliage here usually begins to color in mid-October and is at its best from late October into mid-November.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The park looks over the whole of Takayama, so it is a nice place to slow down. There is a restaurant inside the park, which makes it easy to stay for lunch. (It is closed on rainy days and over winter, so please check before you go.) Locals have enjoyed this park for generations, and you\u2019ll often see locals and families. A gentle breeze, good views, and autumn foliage make for a relaxing afternoon during your stay in Takayama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also combine a visit to Shiroyama Park with Takayama Old Town<\/a>. For directions or tips on how to fit a visit into your Takayama itinerary, be sure to ask our guest service team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
