  • Tours operate daily from Nohi Bus terminal. In addition to sightseeing, these tours include various activities and attractions, but please note that no English-speaking guide is provided. The cost includes entrance fees.

    It's an easy way to get around also, not speaking the language can be an asset as you can see things in your own way, rather than being stuck with the group.

    Ask at Takayama Information Desk near the Takayama Station. Or at your Hotel.

    Tokyo To Takayama By Train

  • Take the JR Tokaido Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya (100-120 minutes, several trains per hour) and then transfer to the Hida limited express train to Takayama (140 minutes, one train per hour). The one way fare by unreserved seat is 13,540 Yen. By reserved seat it is about 14,200 Yen.

    Travelling with a JR Rail Pass will save you so much money!

    The above fees and schedules are of course subject to change.

    Takayama can be easily reached by train or bus.
    The main tourist sites are all in walking distances.
    And if you don´t feel like walking you can take a rikshaw.

    When walking around Takayama look to the ground once in a while. At many corners in the centre of town are special stones in the footpath. They are telling you the way to the tourist locations.
