Takayama Woodcraft Private Tour Architecture and Craft
Hachikenmachi
About
The mountains around Takayama gave the wood. The long winters gave the time. And for over 1,300 years, generations of Hida craftspeople gave the skill, passed from master to apprentice in workshops still working today. On this private full-day tour, you go beyond the showroom and into the world that makes Hida furniture what it is. With your English-speaking guide and a private car, you visit five places across the day. You step inside private workshops not open to the public, meet the artisans, and handle the traditional tools yourself. You visit a museum dedicated to Hida's woodworking heritage, walk through a traditional wooden building still standing centuries later, and stop at the shop...

Hida Takayama has been a center of woodworking for over 1,300 years — and on this private full-day tour, you discover why. Travel by car with your English-speaking guide to five places that tell the story: the private workshops of master artisans where you can handle the tools yourself, a museum dedicated to Hida's woodworking heritage, a traditional wooden building still standing today, the shops of working craftspeople, and the forests and timber yards where it all begins. Lunch is included. By the end of the day, you'll understand why furniture made in this small mountain town is collected around the world.
