Takayama Tours & Guided Trips

Takayama is a charming city renowned for its well-preserved Edo-period streets and traditional culture. Often called “Little Kyoto,” Takayama’s Sanmachi Suji district features wooden merchant houses, sake breweries, and craft shops, offering a glimpse into Japan’s past. The city is famous for its biannual Takayama Festival, considered one of the country’s most beautiful, with elaborately decorated floats and vibrant parades. Nearby attractions include Hida Folk Village, an open-air museum showcasing traditional thatched-roof houses, and the morning markets along the Miyagawa River where local produce and crafts are sold. Surrounded by the Japanese Alps, Takayama also serves as a gateway for excursions to Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its gassho-zukuri farmhouses.

11-Day Timeless and Traditional Japan with Japanese Alps Tour from Osaka: Kyoto, Mount Koya and Tokyo | Kenrokuen, Hida Folk Village and Shirakawa-go

Tokyo was spectacular. From Zojoji Temple and Shibuya Crossing to the panoramic views at Tokyo Skytree, the itinerary balanced iconic landmarks with some free time. Subway trips with the guide were easy and stress-free. Perfect mix of structure and flexibility.

13-Day Traditional and Cultural Japan Unrivalled Tour from Tokyo: Hakone, Isawa, Matsumoto, Takayama, Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kyoto and Osaka

Perfect Mix of Tradition & Modern Japan!

Hakone's hot springs and Mt Fuji views from the ropeway were amazing. Hiroshima's peace park was moving, and Miyajima's floating torii gate looked straight out of a postcard. Got to try Hida beef in Takayama—so tender! Guides knew all the best spots.

10-Day Japan Tour from Tokyo to Osaka: Hakone, Takayama and Kyoto

Exceeded my expectations

I’ve done a lot of tours around Asia, but this one stood out for its thoughtful structure and attention to detail. We covered so much ground in just 10 days without feeling exhausted. The guides were passionate and friendly, and our accommodations exceeded expectations. Traveling by bullet train was a thrill too!

14-Day Japan Tour from Tokyo to Hiroshima: Hakone, Takayama, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara

Fantastic

This was a fantastic 14 day tour of Japan which I would wholly recommend. The amount of activities we managed to fit into the time was incredible, the accommodation was good and the ratio of free time to group time was right. We saw so much and I really don’t feel like there is anything big that we missed. Alyssa was a fantastic guide, genuinely. She kept us on time, was knowledgable, friendly and really easy to get along with! The trip would not have been as good without her, I know that. PS this trip is fast paced and you walk a lot so be ready for that - but if you have a reasonable level of walking fitness and are ready to go explore all that Japan has to offer for a great price, don’t hesitate to book this tour.
