What To Expect

Takayama is the best place to experience the fruits of this rich heritage. A myriad of local workshops and retail outlets remain and these establishments sell both folk crafts, such as Sashiko patchwork and Hanga wood block prints, and also traditional crafts borne from ‘high’ culture, including intricate wooden carving and Shunkeinuri lacquerware.
Note1: You will not be able to see all the sights on this tour. You must choose at most 3 and inform your guide.
Note2: The National Government Licensed Guide Interpreter certification is issued by the Japanese government requires a good knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture and history.
