5. Higashiyama Walking Course

4.5 based on 434 reviews
Temples and shrines, a castle and private homes are among the sights along this 3.5 kilometer self-paced walking tour.
Reviewed By HappyFamily0f3 - London, United Kingdom
We thoroughly enjoyed the walk above Takayama town, exploring the various peaceful shrines and cemeteries along the way. It was quiet on a hot August day, but due to bear activity in the area it was recommended to bang a large metal can before entering some temples, just to ‘give the bears notice’ as one of the signs said. Unfortunately we couldn’t complete the route as the park was completely closed due to the bears. That was a shame and resulted in a long hot walk home along the road. Despite that, it is still a great way to spend a few hours in Takayama. There is also a great little quirky coffee shop along the way. Stop there for a drink and you’ll have your picture taken by the friendly owner and feature in his visitors book!

7. The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses

Reviewed By ToruO - Setagaya, Japan
Luckily the place wasn't so crowded when I went there (ironically, thanks to COVID-19) but the weather was very unstable, thanks to an oncoming typhoon. The traditional thatched roof houses were quite a beauty to look at. Some are open to visitors but charge you a 300 yen admission. As you will be walking around a lot, it's best to visit during spring or fall when the weather is mild. If it weren't for COVID_19, you should definitely book a round trip bus ticket in advance. I traveled from Kanazawa station, and purchased tickets at an information center nearby. There are also tickets to and from Takayama station. Also, there are no trash cans, just like in most Japanese tourist spots. Bring plastic bags to put your trash in, so you can dispose of them when you get back to your hotel.
8. Shin-Hotaka Ropeway
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 994 reviews
Reviewed By nnjerusalem - Tel Aviv, Israel
While planning our trip to Japan, we also wanted to see some of the countryside outside of the big cities. The Shinhotaka Ropeway is a funicular ride to a observation point featuring beautiful snow covered mountains called the Japanese Alps, about 105 minutes from Takayama city. We were staying in a lovely ryokan called Kazeya so for us it was a 15 minute bus ride. The ticket from Takayama will cost around 2300 yen and the cable car to the top another 2700 yen but its a experience well worthwhile. If you combine a stay in a local ryokan you will also enjoy a wonderful Onsen spa.
9. Ogimachi Castle Old Site Observatory

Reviewed By amandahJ6783GN - Sapporo, Japan
THE photo spot for the village. Shuttle bus goes up there - takes 10 mins, walk down takes 20 mins (different shorter route) Private parking on the hill (for about 50 cars?) Nice to buy food or drink and then you can sit on the left of the photo taking spot, under the tree and look down at the scene peacefully. Staff take a free photo of visitors - which you can get at the desk minutes later - it is a tiny 1/4 of a postcard picture - and then choose to pay to have the same pic big size.

Reviewed By docajc
Joined a day tour to Shirakawago and Takayama from Nagoya. It snowed the day before we arrived, so there was a bit of snow over the rooftops of the houses. Not the same as the snow covered roofs we see on pictures, but nevertheless beautiful. We arrived around 3:30pm in the afternoon so most of the tour groups were set to go home. Take note however, that when arriving this late, you might not be able to take the shuttle up to the main observation point as the shuttle service ends at 4pm. It took about 15 to 20 minutes to walk uphill to the observatory but it was worth it as the view from the top was breathtaking. The walk downhill was obviously easier and faster. By 5pm, it starts to get quite dark so there was not much to see anymore. And since it was winter, most shops have already started to close. On the plus side, we got to see the sun set over the horizon, and that view is again a beauty. I would definitely visit again and maybe book an overnight stay early on in order to enjoy the village more.
