Takayama is the souvenir hunter's paradise. It's famous for toys, furniture, and other woodcraft, but Takayama lacquerware, papercraft and pottery are also well-known throughout Japan and make great gifts.

Main streets: Laquerware. Pottery. Toys. Furniture. Souvenirs*.
* You will notice the main souvenir wherever you go in Takayama is Sarubobo, see sep tip. Theme: OtherDirections: Main street is the one from Station area towards Teramachi district. It fans out and side streets lead to Sannomachi area.

The old shophouse district, the main shopping street cutting across town (perpendicular to the JR station) and morning market near the river are good places to get them.
Prices are generally the same. The good thing about shopping in Japan (in general) is that prices are quite the same around town and bargaining is not required. So if you see something you like, buy it - comparing prices amongst shops is not effective shopping.
Almost everything's beautifully packaged. Even if not, you can request for simple packaging - which makes everything presentable but pretty wasteful sometimes.
Souvenirs start from „500; alcohol ranging from „1,000 up; green tea from „500 up for 100g. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

Sembei (rice crackers) are great. They are sold in several different tastes from salted to sweet. In some shops you can see how they are made.
Probably far too much. That is what the souvenir business is all about. We bought sembei for 300 Yen. The boxes of sweets costs from 700 Yen up to 1500 Yen. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
