Relax Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent
"We like the location of the property because it is so close to the bus station and the train station, restaurants and sightseeing areas. The complementary drinks in the room refrigerator and the lobby was most appreciated. We only wished it was a little more accessible from street in to the lobby as the hotel was on the 2nd floor."

When is the best time to go to Takayama?
The best times to visit Takayama are during spring (April to May) for the famous Takayama Spring Festival and autumn (October to November) for the beautiful autumn foliage and the Takayama Autumn Festival.

Spring in Takayama is a wonderful time to experience the city's culture. The Takayama Spring Festival, held on 14th and 15th April, is one of Japan's most celebrated festivals, featuring elaborate floats and traditional performances. The weather during this period is generally mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring the historic Sanmachi Suji district with its beautifully preserved Edo-period buildings and sake breweries.

Autumn offers equally stunning scenery, as the surrounding mountains and the city's parks, like Takayama Jinya, are ablaze with reds, oranges, and yellows. The Takayama Autumn Festival, on 9th and 10th October, is another spectacular event, similar to its spring counterpart. The cooler temperatures are superb for leisurely strolls through the Hida Folk Village or enjoying a traditional meal in one of the many local restaurants.
Where can I find the best nightlife in Takayama?
Takayama offers a more subdued nightlife experience compared to larger Japanese cities. You'll find options primarily centred around a few key areas, often with an emphasis on traditional Japanese establishments.

The area around Sanmachi Suji, particularly along Honmachi Street and Ichinomachi Street, has several small izakayas (Japanese pubs) and sake bars. These establishments often feature traditional interiors and serve local sake along with small dishes. Many close by midnight.

Around Takayama Station, there are a few more modern bars and eateries. These might offer a wider selection of drinks, including cocktails and Western-style beers, alongside Japanese options. This area tends to be a bit livelier than the older parts of the city, especially on weekends.
