How busy is Takayama during the Takayama Festival in October?

I’m planning to spend two days in Takayama during my trip to Japan. I was looking forward to experiencing a mountain town and a break from the busyness of Tokyo. As it turns out, the days I planned to spend there overlap with the Takayama Festival in October.

I’m curious how busy it gets during the festival? Should I should look into different options or if it will still be somewhat relaxed?

Would love any recommendations for a backup plan if anyone has one!
