The dining spot that cost us a cool but hearty USD250 Hida steak dinner yesterday.

7 Degree Rain in Takayama Japan

O yes, it’s a rather wet weekend here today at Takayama, with only a break of sunshine in the morning. I must say it’s over 300 shots today as I immerse myself into the ancient town’s rich heritage.

If you have set your heart into visiting this site, you must try their Hida beef (though murderously costly at ¥8500), organic fruits and pumpkin custard dessert. And of course pay a visit to the Hida folk village.

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you all – Hida Takayama.

Dozens of Buddhist shrines around Takayama litters the landscape.

What do we have here? A make that’s probably vintage!
