It&#8217;s also home to one of the country&#8217;s best-loved festivals. <br>Takayama retains a traditional touch like few other Japanese cities, especially in its beautifully preserved old town. Takayama gained importance as a source of high-quality timber and highly skilled carpenters during the feudal ages. For these important resources, the city was put under direct control of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/tours\/shogun\/\">Shogun<\/a> and enjoyed quite a bit of prosperity considering its remote mountain location. The Takayama Festival, held in spring and autumn, is considered one of Japan&#8217;s best festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1256\" src=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/whos-yo-shogun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/04\/5bc8ac8c-bd6d-45d4-894b-a5a12cfe5f6f-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/whos-yo-shogun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/04\/5bc8ac8c-bd6d-45d4-894b-a5a12cfe5f6f-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/whos-yo-shogun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/04\/5bc8ac8c-bd6d-45d4-894b-a5a12cfe5f6f-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/whos-yo-shogun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/04\/5bc8ac8c-bd6d-45d4-894b-a5a12cfe5f6f-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/bikeodyssey.cc\/whos-yo-shogun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/04\/5bc8ac8c-bd6d-45d4-894b-a5a12cfe5f6f.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Sanmachi Suji District<\/strong><br>The Sanmachi Suji District consists of three streets in the heart of Takayama\u2019s old town, which lies just to the east of the Miya-gawa River. The streets are lined with traditional houses, shops, restaurants, sake breweries and cafes. These three quaint streets are among the most picturesque in Japan, and if you mentally Photoshop out a few electrical wires and other tourists, you can imagine what Japan looked like around the turn of last century. We suggest heading there early to avoid the crowds and get the best atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3
