Takayama

Located virtually in the center of the Japanese archipelago, Takayama is a tourist destination for Japanese people and foreigners. The opportunity to see authentic Japanese scenery lies in a short journey from Takayama —from Shirakawago Village (a World Heritage site) to the white-walled earthen storehouses in the Furukawa district of Hida City and Gero Onsen, one of the top three hot springs in Japan. Hokuriku Shinkansen has improved access from the Kanto and Hokushin’etsu regions, and expressway buses connect Takayama to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kanazawa and other cities. Takayama provides a warm, hospitality to all visitors so that they can take a break from the chaos of the city and host conventions in a rich nature environment.
