Takayama developed its own culture for about 300 years, because of its high altitude and separation from other areas and still preserves its traditional atmosphere.
It holds two festivals every year, in spring and autumn. These festivals are among the most popular in Japan attract many tourists. The yatai (floats) used can be found in the Takayama Yatai Kaikan.
It’s also nice to taste Japanese sake made from pure water of Takayama.
