Hida no sato folk village

If you find yourself in Takayama, take an easy 45 mins walk from the town centre to the fairy folk village of Hida no Sato. The village is a beautiful open-air museum that showcases traditional architecture and culture of the Hida region. The village will be especially of interest to those who want to learn about Japanese history and culture. Entrance is 700JPY for an adult ticket which can be bought on the spot. Make sure to leave plenty of time for your visit though: with nearly 30 exhibits, I managed to properly visit just about a half in an hour and a half. There are also various folk games available to play for free along the way. You can also feed the fish in the pond for just 50JPY per bag of fish feed.
