The area of Takayama, often called "Little Kyoto" of the Hida region, is famous for its beautifully preserved old town. An interesting fact is that Takayama's historic streets have been maintained for over 400 years, with many buildings dating back to the Edo period when the city was a wealthy merchant town. The closest major landmark is the historic Takayama Jinya, the former local government office and the only surviving building of its kind in Japan, located approximately a 30-minute walk or a short drive from the property.
