8 Best Private Walking Tours in the Japan Alps
Takayama’s old town is small enough to cross in an hour, but the stories take longer, and a private guide can open up the Jinya, the only Edo-era government office of its kind still standing. Some walks run at night with dinner, when the streets empty out.
