Tour Little Kyoto
during our Takayama Festival Japan Tour Packages in April & October Enjoy beautiful Edo style buildings during the spectacular Takayama Festival celebration.
Out of the countless festivals held in Japan, few have a reputation comparable to that of the Takayama Festival. Aside from the typical festivities like taiko drums and food stands, the main attraction comes in the form of the famed procession of lit up floats held during the evening. The combination of these attractions with the historical ambiance of the city itself as well as other unique sites throughout your trip will provide an unforgettable experience.
Held once in Spring and again in Autumn, the Takayama Festival is famed for stunning floats, the sound of Taiko drums, and lively Yatai Booths offering regional Hida beef. Even among the local Japanese, the Takayama Festival is often considered the most beautiful festival in Japan.
Look beyond the temples & shrines during your tour while exploring the can't skip museums of Japan. Whether it's the ravishing works at the Itchiku Kubota Art Museum or the radiant I.M. Pei designed Miho Museum, browse through impressive collections of modern & traditional Japanese artworks.
