Gorgeous festival floats color the town, along with the blooming cherry blossoms, and "karakuri" marionettes put on a breathtaking performance! Come along and experience this very special 2020 Takayama Spring Festival Tour.

 

Thought to be around 400 years old, the Takayama Festival is counted as one of the three most beautiful festivals in Japan. It is held every spring and autumn, and it shows-off what is great about the Hida region. The focal point and must-see attraction of the festival are the beautiful festival floats, which are products of the fabulous artisanship of the Hida masters. With elaborate, artistic ornaments, masterfully designed marionettes exhibit incredibly dexterous movements, and clever contraptions for maneuvering them around town. The floats are really masterpieces in their own right! At nighttime, the floats are covered with lanterns, and the parade of these floats creates a beautiful fantasy world completely different from the daytime procession.

 

Yet, this is just the beginning as we have also included the very best of Osaka & Kyoto along with Shirakawago Village and Kanazawa. We end in Tokyo, Japan’s capital for 3 days where we have included a complete free day for shopping or sightseeing on your own.

 

There are also three garden visits, two bullet train rides, a hands-on gold leaf pasting experience and TeamLab Borderless, a world of artworks without boundaries, a museum without a map, and Tsukiji Outer Market.
