Looking for any additional input, especially on our last two days! For background, we are both interested in experiencing traditional Japanese culture (which is why we are going to Takayama), as well as the newer era of Japan. My boyfriend is a huge foodie, so any restaurants are totally welcome! I do also have a disease which can make walking long distances just not doable on days. Because of this, I didn’t want to jam pack all of our days. Our flights and accommodations have all been booked, so we unfortunately aren’t flexible on that. Thank you in advance – we are so excited and want to get the most out of this experience as possible! 🙂

Also wondering if anyone knows we might be lucky enough to experience snow in Takayama? 🙂
