Takayama Holidays


asia
Situated in the Japanese Alps, Takayama’s traditional architecture, hillside shrines and sake breweries are all reasons to visit this charming town.

The quality of Takayama’s craftsmen were widely renowned and this is reflected today in the old town, where the narrow streets are still lined with beautifully preserved inns, tea houses and shops, many dating back to the Edo period.

Trailfinders offers a range of Takayama holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Japan on a self guided holiday, a sociable small group tour, a stopover or a cruise holiday, they are the perfect people to ask.
