City of Takayama

Takayama is an old city situated in the middle of Japan, where many historical spots are attracting people who are looking for Japanese traditions. After fruitful discussions in the sessions, relaxing - or continuing discussions - with scenery of old traditional houses by walking around the city must be a good experience, as well as visiting countryside of the city to experience traditional hot springs called Oku-hida Onsen-go.
