Takayama is one of oldest city in Japan, beautifully preserved, which also has similar ambience to Kyoto.
Another City, Another adventure.. Let me take you there...
Old Private Houses, Isn't this such a beautiful street? A few old private homes in the old town have been converted into museum and are accessible to the public.
Traditional Japanese House, Hida No Sato (Hida Folk Village), where I can get to see inside the thatched roof houses, which shifted from Shirakawago. The view in this are is just unbelievably mesmerizing during snow season. The shape of this traditional house itself reminds me of Ginger bread house.

Ouan Hotel Lobby, where we stayed. Amazing hotel with private onsen (private Japanese Hot Bath)

Complimentary gift from Ouan Hotel when we checked in. They thought we just got married recently. Well, yes it is almost 4 years ago...:)
Private Onsen (Japanese Hot Bath)on the top floor. This was our most favorite place at night in Takayama. After tired from walking all day, this felt so rewarding.
