Dear all readers of Takayama Umaimon Map,

Hello!

\clap clap/

We are deeply thankful to
Our dear readers,
Our customers in Takayama,
Tourism division of Takayama City Hall,
Our dear staffs who love Takayama

Without you, we couldn’t have made it.
Really, really thank you!

We-the editorial team-love the historic town of Takayama as well as its cuisine and people. As we think this town’s awesomeness needs to be known by more people, we decided to renew the site.

8 years ago, started from just a plain white paper, “Takayama Umaimon Map” was first introduced.
※Now we don’t use paper anymore but there is pamphlet being place in business hotel or tourist spots.

Actually, our editorial team is based in Nagoya which is 3-hour away from the town by car.
At first, everything was new to us. It was the hospitality of the local people that made us understand more about the town. We still remember our tears were about to come out when we see people walking on the street with “Umaimon Map”.

Since then 8 years have passed.
It is long enough for things to change. For example, Takayama station has renovated to be bigger or foreigner tourists have increased greatly.

We will continue introducing the delicious cuisine of Takayama along with changes that may happen in the future.

So please stay tuned!
