Good to know
- Go to the morning markets near the river early, then walk Sanmachi Street before the day-trip crowds arrive.
- Missed the Takayama Festival? The Festival Floats Exhibition Hall shows the real floats all year.
- Takayama city reaches up to Okuhida, where Hirayu Onsen and the Shin-Hotaka Ropeway look out over the Northern Alps.
