The ``Hida Takayama Kimono Walk,'' where you walk around the historic streets of Hida Takayama wearing a kimono, is an annual event held every spring and fall. This event allows visitors to wear traditional kimono and kamishimo and walk through the quaint town, giving visitors a sense of the beauty of Japan.

The Nakahashi Tourist Information Center offers this special walk on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays during the period. There is no need to prepare in advance; just come during reception hours and enjoy walking around town in a kimono. We also have all the necessary accessories such as bags and footwear.

Annual information and reservation method

Each year, details of this event will be announced in advance of that year's event. In principle, reservations are not required, but if you would like to participate in a group, please contact us in advance. If a large number of participants are expected, registration may close early.

Considerations in case of rain

We have a limited number of umbrellas available so you can enjoy the experience even on rainy days. We do not have rain footwear for men, so please bring your own shoes in case of light rain. In case of stormy weather, safety is our top priority and the event may be canceled.

Kimono preparation for children

Children can also try kimono together. We have sizes over 140cm available, and quantities are limited, so please contact us as soon as possible.

Arrange your hair as you like

Hair arrangement and accessory preparation are not included, so please prepare according to your preference.

Surrounded by the magnificent nature represented by the Hida Mountains (Northern Alps), Hida Takayama is a town that is alive with history and traditional culture, such as old townscapes that retain traces of the Edo period and Takayama festivals held in spring and autumn. There are also hot springs such as Hida Takayama Onsen and Okuhida Onsenkyo, as well as gourmet food such as Hida beef and Japanese sake. In particular, the Takayama Festival, which is held in spring and autumn, is characterized by a festival procession centered around gorgeous floats (dashi floats), elaborately moving mechanical dolls, and reproductions of picture scrolls, and many people from Japan and abroad come to watch. I will visit. It is about 6 hours from Tokyo and about 4 hours from Osaka. There are some of Japan's leading tourist destinations such as Shirakawa-go, Kamikochi, and Kanazawa in the surrounding area, and you can visit various places around Hida Takayama. There is a mix of various types of accommodations, including Western-style hotels, traditional inns, homely guesthouses, and hostels suitable for long-term stays, and we have the capacity to meet the needs of our users. The people of Hida, who are involved in various fields such as nature, history, tradition, culture, and gastronomy, are simple and warm, and offer heartfelt hospitality to visitors.
