Takayama has a couple streets lined with shops like this one specializing in homemade sake and wood crafts.
Some mountains in the distance.
The ryokan included dinner and breakfast. Both were feasts. This is the beginning...
and this is the end.

Saved for a rainy day
Our next stop in Japan was the sleepy town of Takayama. We picked Takayama because it was a smaller town and we wanted to get off the tourist track for a couple days, stay in a classic Japanese ryokan, and maybe make some room for some onsen. The town was a great stop and would have actually been a great leaping off point for some mountain hikes (it's the gateway to the Japan Alps), but the rain kept us indoors, focusing on eating, sleeping, and the occasional onsen.
