We had the 3 most incredible days in and near Takayama, Japan. We visit Shirakawa-go, a picturesque mountain village, historic Takayama, and the fun Hida Folk Village near Takayama. We try Hida beef for the first time (watch Heather actually become speechless!), witness Japan's glorious autumn leaf colors, and try our hand at a few traditional activities. An amazing 3 days!

THANKS FOR WATCHING - you're the best (yes, YOU)!
