We checked out of First Cabin and temporarily left our luggage at Meitetsu Inn before taking the 2-hour train ride to Hida Takayama. Instead of sleeping in the train which I normally do (haha), I braced myself for scenic spots like this:

| Yup, I captured this image from the moving train. |
We checked in at K's House Takayama where we got a Japanese-style room. Since it was lunch time, of course, we looked for the recommended Hida beef resto.
 |
| This set was already good for the 3 of us. More than enough, actually. |
 |
| I love those grill marks! |
After having a dose of beef, we were ready for a lot of walking. We headed to the Takayama Jinya.

| Takayama Jinya is a National Historic Site. It once served as the government headquarters. This Japanese-style garden is a highlight. Entrance fee: 430 yen |
For our afternoon snack, we tried beef sushi and later on, crepes.
Japan is also known for fake food. There's this shop that we visited where keychains and magnets were an eyecandy! I got a sushi and sunny side up egg for 540 yen each.
We were able to explore the old town and went back near K's House by night.
It was getting really cold (5 degrees) and having miso ramen was a nice idea.

| Medium sized at 650 yen |
