Takayama is a MUST visit for anybody who can only spare a few days in their itinerary to see the beautiful countryside, the charming small town atmosphere outside of Tokyo. There is soooooo much to see, do, eat and buy there. Shirakawago is an easy afternoon excursion, there are fantastic museums and galleries, excellent retro Showa museums (two of them at last count!) and wonderful ice cream, beef, miso, sake, local honey...it just goes on. What a charming, gorgeous video. Even in the rainy gloom it's beautiful. Thank you for inspiring me to keep saving and working overtime for my next trip back. I'll be so smug when I have all that extra spending money! 🥰😃
Thank you for your comment ❤️ I could tell by readying your comment that you know a looooot about Takayama and Shirakawago!!! I hope your next travel in Japan will be the best :) Again thanks for your comment and watching my video 😍
Japan and switzerland are so beautiful. We have a state(part) in iran(persia) that is called Mountain savad with the same beauty and culture that sasanid kingdoms used to live nearby that , in the past
🙏🏼 Thank you for this video, We loved Takayama and this video really helped us to get an understanding of what it was like before we arrived. We fell in love with Takayama, It was such a beautiful place to be away from the big cities and learn more about the Edo period at Hida Folk Village!
Been in 2 hotels in Gifu Ken, Hotel Suimeikan and the Takayama Green Hotel years ago! Now it had changed a lot!! Missing the places I used to go in Japan!
I was there 2 weeks ago. Peaceful and beautiful town, unlike Kyoto and Tokyo. Recommend to stay in the middle of Takayama JR station and Historical town. So you can easily walk to JR Station, Bus Station for Shirakawago, or walk to the old town/ morning marker ete.
I was there at the end of December, two beautiful sunny days. Takayama is in my ❤, I loved the atmosphere and people are very friendly. Hida no sato was very interesting to know how people of Hida lived in the past. My journey in Japan was really short and I could visit only a little but, at the moment, Takayama is my favorite place
Thanks for sharing your amazing vacation moments with us! 🤗 I can't help but wonder if you've tried the new Nomadlane V4 Bento Bag? Looks like a fantastic addition to any adventurer's gear! 🌄🎒
^If you took 3 day trips from Osaka/Kyoto area which 3 towns would you reccomend. I'm visiting with my parents and was thinking of Nara, Koyasan, Takayama, Kurashiki or some visit to a tea plantation in the Uji area. I love historical places to visit, and walking around cute areas.
I recommend Takayama, Kurashiki first of all ! I loved both places a lot ❤️ I haven’t visited that much places as for western part of Japan, but other places can be… ( prefecture - place ) Nara - deer park 🦌 Hiroshima - Itsukushima shrine Kagawa - Naoshima Hyogo - Kobe
Your videos are so heartwarming! I watched all the new videos before this one and am going to see what's at the very beginning of your channel. Please, keep going, you're amazing
Thank you so much! I was so happy to read your comment 🥰 I hope you can see what’s there in Japan with your own eyes :) About places I shared in my video, I only select places I personally like. So I hope you’ll love those places too ❤️ Cheers back from Tokyo 🗼
Love, your videos! I've visited japan 10 times including Takayama. Really, liked all the places you visited. Looking forward to your shirakawago video!
Thank you! Wooow you really love japan 🇯🇵 Even for me Japanese, Takayama is one of the best places to visit in entire Japan. I hope you enjoyed Shirakawago video as well. (It was at night so video quality was not good though 😅)
¡gracias! También me encanta el invierno ♡ El video de Shirakawa-go también está en la temporada de invierno, ¡así que asegúrate de verlo! (usando el traductor de Google)
@@michelleintokyo It's a long flight. I have been to Shanghai and Beijing several times and preferred to fly JAL. The price was right plus I had about a 16 hour layover in Narita which allow me to see a some of Japan.
@@jimw544 wow well done to overcome long flight ✈️ And welcome to Japan! If you can stay until weekend, look for summer festivals like bon odori (a kind of Japanese traditional dance) !
Hi, thank you! I think it depends on which grade of Hida beef you are going to eat 🐮 I got grade 5 and it was good, but not great. I recommend you to eat highest grade at a yakiniku restaurant like here! maps.app.goo.gl/gfnGDCnFbVSYn6iCA?g_st=ic
I just checked annual average of rain in Takayama from Japan meteorological agency. It seems April is not bad as for chance of rain. Worst is from June till September. Please check 4th column of this webpage. 降水量 is the one I checked. www.data.jma.go.jp/obd/stats/etrn/view/nml_sfc_ym.php?prec_no=52&block_no=47617&year=&month=&day=&view=
Great video! I will be going there next month. I noticed a lot of people wearing mask. Will i have to be wearing a mask when i visit? Or is it a voluntary thing? I wouldn't want to frustrate locals.
It’s my opinion but wearing a mask is not mandatory now in Japan ! I think some people still wear mask because they just want to prevent from getting virus like flu. Wearing a mask or not is really up to you for Japanese local people nowadays !
Thank you Michelle for this chill amazing video! I'll be in Takayama in September! Do you think its a great season to visit Takayama or should I consider going at November?
You are very welcome, thanks for watching my video♡ I think both September and November looks good. If you go in September, weather is stable and it must be very comfy to travel around. And you can enjoy green nature. Whereas in November, there might be a chance to enjoy "Kouyou" (autumn colored leaves) if you go first half of November 🍁
It's in Japanese, but found pictures for each Summer and Autumn season. Maybe you can check them and decide! ○Summer www.takayama-gh.com/tabaru/special/summer2017/ ○Autumn www.takayama-gh.com/tabaru/article/kouyou01/
@@fleazapp I first search restaurants by google map and see the building looks traditional or not. And then search the name of the shop with google map and see if the shop has multiple locations or not. If it’s not chain restaurants, it is highly possible that it’s family run business!!!
Hi sorry my reply is late ! Oh welcome to Takayama very soon :) Yes the weather should be snow and rain. But don’t worry! Takayama’s amazing vibes will let you forget bad weather 😎
Muy bonitos tus videos, realmente me super encantan, con respeto no entiendo por qué te tapas tu carita ?? Es algo malo ?? Perdón soy de México y se que la cultura es diferente, saludos 😊
¡Gracias por darle me gusta al video! No sé si es por la cultura japonesa, pero mi empresa no fomenta los trabajos secundarios... ¡Escondo mi cara para que mi empresa no se entere! !
I am so jealous that you might go to Takayama !! Umm even if it’s a solo trip, I recommend at least 3 days. I felt I could have stayed a few days longer and visited popular places from animation “Your name” 🪐 I am confident it’s still an amazing place if you go there alone!!!
This one! I am Japanese but I am not confident how to read the name of shop, but it must be “Menya Masai”🍜 麺屋真菜 0577-70-1717 maps.app.goo.gl/MDALspnxkatzi9Ht5?g_st=ic
