Takayama, Japan Old Town

We're taking you to Takayama, one of the most beautiful and well-preserved historic cities of Japan. It's most famous for the Old Town with narrow streets lined by beautifully preserved wooden merchant houses built hundreds of years ago but still standing in excellent condition. Charming from the outside and many of these buildings are open and welcome the public inside to their stores, cafes, restaurants and historic sites. Shoppers will discover a treasure of local arts, crafts and clothing. There's also a thriving new town and a historic folk village that we'll be exploring, but the main attraction is the Old Town. This quaint charm with so much to see has made Takayama an important visitor destination, but it does not get overcrowded like more famous cities in Japan such as Kyoto. Many of the people you see walking on the streets are local residents and it seems most visitors are coming from Japan. This all adds up to an authentic experience for that adventurous visitor who finds their way to Takayama. This remarkable preservation is a result of many factors. Takayama was not exposed to the widespread destruction experienced by so many other Japanese cities during various wars, especially World War II, and it was shielded from rapid industrialization which allowed the historic buildings to remain largely intact. Perhaps most importantly, it's geographic isolation in the center of Japan. This helped to insulate the city from the influences of modernization. It takes five hours to get here from Tokyo by train or four hours from Kyoto on a route that goes through the beautiful Japan Alps, one of the nicest train rides in the country, which makes the route from Kyoto to Takayama a very good way to get here. The train arrives in the heart of downtown Takayama, which is a modern city, making a practical home base for your visit. In the new town, you will find many restaurants, mostly serving varieties of local food. You'll also find lots of shops and modern streets with broad sidewalks for pedestrians, sheltered by old-fashioned arcades that keep the sun and rain off, and many hotels providing comfortable accommodations, because you'll want to spend at least one night, maybe two nights, enjoying the new and the old sections of beautiful Takayama. travel videos & photos at: https://townsofeurope.com/ with text, maps & links.
