Temples and shrines, a castle and private homes are among the sights along this 3.5 kilometer self-paced walking tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk above Takayama town, exploring the various peaceful shrines and cemeteries along the way. It was quiet on a hot August day, but due to bear activity in the area it was recommended to bang a large metal can before entering some temples, just to ‘give the bears notice’ as one of the signs said. Unfortunately we couldn’t complete the route as the park was completely closed due to the bears. That was a shame and resulted in a long hot walk home along the road. Despite that, it is still a great way to spend a few hours in Takayama. There is also a great little quirky coffee shop along the way. Stop there for a drink and you’ll have your picture taken by the friendly owner and feature in his visitors book!

A fun interactive museum from the Showa period(post WW11)-great for oldies as it is a walk down memory lane.Packed with items-somewhere different to waste a bit (or a lot) of time
