About Takayama Gifu

Takayama Gifu is an independent travel guide to Takayama City in Gifu Prefecture, Japan: the old town, its morning markets and festivals, and the outer districts from Okuhida Onsengo to Kiyomi. Nearby places such as Shirakawa-go appear as day trips from Takayama.

Every guide is researched from primary and local sources, such as the city, the tourism association, museums, shrines and temples, and transport operators. Prices, hours and timetables change, so each guide shows when it was last updated.

Takayama Gifu is an independent guide and affiliate partner. It is not an official tourism body and not a tour operator. Some guides link to booking partners for car rental, rail passes, stays, tours and eSIMs, and we may earn a commission when you book through them. The partner sells and runs the booking, so changes, cancellations and refunds go through them.

Guides are written by the Takayama Gifu Team.
