Hello, this is Takayama Ninja House. We are located in a conservation area in one of the few historic towns remaining in Japan. It takes only a 5 minute walk to Takayama’s most famous street “Sanmach-St.” ! Here you can feel the tranquility of the surroundings, listening to the ring of the temple bells. Ninja House is special – enjoy the atmosphere of this unique guest house in Japan.
Having decided after finishing a law degree that becoming a ‘ salaryman’ was not for me, I spent a number of years learning English in London, flamenco guitar in Seville and traveling and living in central America. Back in Japan I worked in one of Tokyo’s premier hotels before becoming a tour guide to show travellers from around the world my beautiful country. Several years in an IT company in Tokyo helped me to launch my dream of running my own business. After visiting many of the most beautiful places in Japan, Takayama captured my imagination and Ninja House was born. Join me here for your holiday to experience the wonders of Japan. When you do check-in, I can advise you some charm point around Takayama and Hida area.
Takayama is a beautiful town in central Japan that retains the atmosphere of traditional Japan. Walk its historic streets of timbered houses that ooze the charm and character of an age gone by. Enjoy the lively morning market, shop for local crafts and relax in its serene temples. Sample delicious food, such as the famous Takayama soup noodles (ramen), Hida beef, Chicken fried with sweet soy souce and try some of the best rice wine (sake) in Japan. Takayama is beautiful throughout the season. Its seasonal charms include enchanting cherry blossoms in spring, lively festivals and fireworks in summer, blazing red and yellow foliage in autumn and a wonderland of snow and icicles in winter. Takayama’s central location makes it a convenient gateway to many sights in the area . It is surrounded by hot springs, such as Okuhida Onsen, and is a good base to visit the world heritage Shirakawa-go & Gokayama villages or the great outdoors of Kamikochi in the ‘ Japanese Alps’ . And if you have less time to travel, Hida Folk Village enables you to see some of the famous thatched Shirakawa-go style farmhouses nearby. Don’t miss visiting one of the best places in Japan!
