Just a short ride from central Takayama, Kuguno is a quiet mountain town where nature, tradition, and community come together. Surrounded by rivers, forests, and orchards of apples, peaches, and cherries, it’s the perfect escape from the crowds—a place where you can breathe deeper, move slower, and connect more closely with the rhythm of the seasons.

Whether you’re hiking in the hills, cycling along farm roads, kayaking or paddleboarding on clear mountain lakes, or joining in a local festival, Kuguno offers a more personal and peaceful side of the Hida-Takayama region.

You’ll also find some of the freshest produce in Hida—locally grown fruits and vegetables, handmade juices, and seasonal specialties that reflect the richness of the land.

Come for a day, a weekend, or longer. The mountains are calling—and the people of Kuguno are ready to welcome you.
