Access To Hida Region The most convenient way to get to Takayama is by bus from Tokyo. The trip takes about 6 hours and costs about 6500 yen. Ask at any JR ticket centre. Most would be able to help. Takayama is easily accessible all year round by train. From Nagoya (taking the "Shlnkansen" super-express from Tokyo, Osaka or Kyoto) an express train reaches Takayama in 2 hrs. 30 mins. Alternatively, there is a direct service from Osaka and Kyoto (the "Takayama Express") that takes five hours. From Tokyo, the most time-saving route is to fly to Toyama from Haneda Airport (1 hour) and then take the train from Toyama to Takayama. The whole journey takes a little over three hours. Takayama can also be approached via the historic city of Matsumoto. There is a rail/bus service that crosses the magnificent mountain barrier between Matsumoto and Takayama -though please note that this road is closed from November through March. From Tokyo, the train journey to Matsumoto takes about 3 hours. By car, the fastest route from Tokyo is on the Chuo Express-way to Nakatsugawa I.C., taking Route 257 to Gero and then Route 41 to Takayama (5 hrs. 30 mins.). Alternatively, take the Tomei Expressway to Komaki l.C. and then Route 41 to Takayama (7 hrs.). From Osaka or Kyoto, take the Meishin Expressway to Komaki and then Route 41 (5 hrs. 30 mins.). |
