What other travelers are saying about Sanmachi Suji

Fantastic if you appreciate old architecture and history. It's a really nice place to visit. Lots of restaurants, sake breweries and shopping. I have 4 stars just because I found it way too crowded for my taste. Luckily, there's lots of peaceful and beautiful areas around the area.

One of the streets of Takayama’s old town. A street filled with traditional picturesque wooden houses. There are plenty of shops and food places around here including sake tasting and even miso tasting shops. The place can feel a bit touristy. A good way to avoid the crowds is to go early morning or maybe visit the side streets. They’re equally as pretty but with a lot less tourists.
