Yatai Kaikan Hall is a festival float exhibition hall featuring the huge floats that are paraded through the streets during the Takakayama Festival in autumn. The floats are decorated with intricate carvings, gilded wood, and detailed metalwork. Four of the 11 remaining floats are displayed here on rotation three times during the year.
The Kusakabe Folk Museum has many characteristics of Edo era architecture. The main part of the building has two stories and a stairway all made from Japanese Cypress, with the combination of beams and pillars creating a strong construction. The roof slants slightly with moderate eaves, and the windows feature slender lattice-work. The structure is finished with a dark-brown paint made from soot. In addition, there are two warehouses made of mud and soil. The building was designated a National Important Culture Asset in 1966.
In the center of this castle town remain three streets of historical old houses, an area which had originally developed as a concentration of merchants. Under the latticed eaves of the houses run rainwater ditches, and the sake breweries here are distinguished by the balls of Japanese cedar leaves which hang in front of their large doors and the traditional shop curtains, rather than what you might consider conventional shop signs.
There are two morning markets in Takayama: one in front of Takayama Jinya (Historical Goverment House) and another along the Miyagawa River. The morning markets find their origins in a mullberry tree market from the early Edo era. Here, you can find fresh local fruit and vegetables (including mountain vegetables), through which you can enjoy the seasonal delicacies of Takayama. The markets are open from early in the morning until noon every day all year round.
Having served foreign visitors to Japan for many years, this hotel is famed for the excellent service offered to guests from abroad.You can even enjoy the scenic Northern Alps from the open-air viewing bath located on the top floor of the building. At only 10 minutes' walk from Takayama station, this is a great location from which to walk into town. If you would like to explore even further afield, please make use of the bicycle rental service offer!
