Description
This tour is designed for travelers who want to enjoy Hida beef in more than one way. Instead of only choosing one restaurant, you will first try small Hida beef tastings in Takayama’s old town, then sit down for a local Hida beef meal selected according to your preferences and restaurant availability. Your private guide helps you compare casual street-food styles with seated dishes such as sukiyaki, yakiniku, hoba miso-style beef, or a Hida beef rice bowl. The focus stays on food, not general sightseeing, so you can experience Takayama through its local flavors and enjoy Hida beef with confidence.
