Hida Takayama is dominated by wooden architecture, and the exquisite craftsmanship of its carpenters gives the town its quaint charm. Since ancient times, Hida wood carving has been the best in Japan, and many temples in the Kyoto and Nara regions were built by Hida craftsmen, a tradition that continues to this day.
