Highlights
This tour is designed for travelers who want to enjoy Hida beef in more than one way. Instead of only choosing one restaurant, you will first try small Hida beef tastings in Takayama’s old town, then sit down for a local Hida beef meal selected according to your preferences and restaurant availability. Your private guide helps you compare casual street-food styles with seated dishes such as sukiyaki, yakiniku, hoba miso-style beef, or a Hida beef rice bowl. The focus stays on food, not general sightseeing, so you can experience Takayama through its local flavors and enjoy Hida beef with confidence.

Itinerary
Kami-Sannomachi is one of Takayama’s most atmospheric old-town streets, lined with traditional wooden merchant houses, local food shops, sake breweries, and small eateries. On this tour, it serves as the setting for casual Hida beef tastings, such as skewers, beef sushi, or buns, while your guide introduces Takayama’s food culture with only light historical context.
Takayama is one of the best places to enjoy Hida beef, a prized regional wagyu known for its rich flavor and tender texture. During the seated meal portion of the tour, visit a local restaurant selected according to availability, budget, and your preferences, and enjoy a Hida beef dish such as sukiyaki, yakiniku, hoba miso-style beef, or a Hida beef rice bowl.

About Takayama
Takayama, in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, is a well-kept Edo-period town of dark wooden merchant houses, sake breweries and a morning market.
Takayama lies in the Hida region of the Japanese Alps, in a high basin ringed by mountains. Its old town, Sanmachi Suji, keeps three streets of dark timber merchant houses from the Edo period, with latticed fronts and sake breweries marked by cedar-ball signs hanging from the eaves. Takayama Jinya, the former magistrate's office, is one of the last of its kind in Japan.
