Our sons ate here years ago and encouraged us to give it a try. We are so glad we did! The beef was amazing, the interior authentic and the staff friendly. My 200g A5 steak was the best dish I ate...

A souvenir-oriented fresh food stand located next to the Fujii Folk Museum. The stand’s signature Hida beef croquettes can be eaten fresh made and piping hot, and this is the best way to savor the unique flavor of the Hida beef used. The stand’s Hida beef kushiyaki grilled meat skewers are also very popular, and customers can choose between three varieties—sirloin, marbled, and lean. The marbled is the most popular. Meanwhile, the sirloin variety is a bit more exclusive, as it is limited to just 20 skewers a day. The stand also sell’s sets of 10 skewers slathered in sauce for taking home. Other items on offer include soft serve ice cream and alcoholic beverages, and much of what the shop makes is perfect for enjoying on the go while exploring the area. The stand is open year-round.

This shop on Hida Takayama's Bunnemonzaka Shopping Street specializes in the local Takayama sweet known as kokusen. They've maintained the handcrafted tradition of their flagship item since they opened in 1892. These sweets with a single twist are made with charcoal fire roasted sesame seeds held together with mizuame syrup, then stretched and cut into bit-sized pieces. Being handmade, they have just the right texture, with an exquisite sweetness and the fine flavor of their carefully selected ingredients. Kids like the shop's soft genkotsu sweets made with a blend of kinako soy flour and brown sugar.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Kamisannomachi 12

Hisada-ya is a tavern housed in a renovated old-style Hidatownhouse that was originally built in the middle of the 19th century. The tavern is centered on an open hearth that radiates its own unique warmth. The menu is built around Hida beef and other country-style cuisine based on local ingredients. Hobayaki, in which Hida beef is laid on top of a dried magnolia leaf, topped with miso, and roasted, and prix fixe meals based on healthy, country-style stews are favorite options. Other menu items are based on smoothly going down green tea soba noodles.

何回か利用させていただいてますが、今回は少し残念に思うことがあり投稿します。それは食事が済み会計の時、お釣りのお札をペロペロと指を湿らせて渡されたのです。年配の方でたまにやってる人は見かけますが、お店の人がやるのは流石に駄目でしょう。食事は美味しかっただけに少し残念な気持ちになりました。

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Honmachi 1-34 Honjin Hirano Yahana Hanamian 1F

A sushi restaurant located on the first floor of the Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan hot spring inn. The restaurant is open to non-guests, and one of the best things about this establishment is the authentic sushi it serves made with unsparing effort using select ingredients. The “Hida-gyu Nigiri” is a one of a kind nigiri zushi variety made with Hida beef and salt handmade by the head chef. In addition to a full array of standard sushi, the restaurant offers many sushi toppings rarely seen at other restaurants such as rock tripe lichen, shiitake mushrooms, and akakabu red turnips. During lunchtime, the restaurant offers a sushi lunch special which comes with your choice of nigiri zushi, steamed zushi, or chirashi zushi.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Hanakawamachi 24

This restaurant inside a kominka (old house) was established in 1966, and is located between JR Takayama Station and the old townscape. They offer dishes centered on local ingredients such as a hoba miso steak set with Hida beef grilled on magnolia leaves with miso, and a mountain vegetable set using Hida-grown vegetables and trout stewed in soy sauce and sugar. There are also ceramic plate-grilled dishes with chicken giblets and leeks cooked in a secret soy sauce-based tare (dipping sauce), a broiled dish called “suzuya-nabe” (sliced beef, vegetables, tofu and noodles boiled with sweet soy sauce) using Hida miso, and hot pot dishes. In addition, they offer a vegetarian menu with dishes that allow you to sufficiently enjoy the taste of Hida.

This was an exceptional dining experience! This restaurant is vegetarian/vegan friendly. I ordered the vegetarian hotpot and it was the best meal I’ve had in Japan thus far! The wait staff were super...

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Kamichinomachi 19

This eatery is approximately 15 minutes by car from Takayama Interchange. Located right near the historic district, Hida beef is the main item on the menu. Their sign declares that they have the “Best menchikatsu deep fried meat patties in Japan, and the Japan Federation of Gifts and Souvenirs have recognized their Hida beef menchikatsu as a “Premium Souvenir. They're dedicated to using not only quality meat from a veteran butcher shop, but top-grade coating and frying oil, too. The moment you bite into the crispy coating, you get a burst of juicy beef. Apart from menchikatsu, they also have kushikatsu meat sticks and croquettes. Many people take their items to go, but you can eat at the shop as well.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Okuhidaonsengouhirayu 768-36

A Japanese diner located right next to the Hirayu Spa Snow Area ski resort. Operating out of an old Japanese home moved to this location, the restaurant is notable for its spacious and airy dining area. In winter, the restaurant is open from 8:00 a.m. Particularly recommended are the restaurant’s vaunted Hida beef teppanyaki and hoba miso-yaki Hida beef, Welsh onions, and miso grilled over a magnolia leaf. The restaurant’s jingisukan barbecue meal, made with Okuhida lamb, is offered until supplies for the day run out, so be quick. The restaurant also serves shochu and beer and is used by many customers like a Japanese izakaya pub in the evening. The restaurant is only open until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesdays, but the restaurant only closes for full days 10 times a year for maintenance.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Okuhidaonsengouhitoegane 723

An eel cuisine restaurant located in the Shinhirayu Onsen hot spring district. The restaurant’s renowned “Una-don” rice bowl is topped with tender, clean-tasting eel raised in the clean waters of Okuhida broiled and slathered with a secret recipe sauce. The restaurant offers a variety of rice bowls with differing eel portion sizes to suit a variety of budgets. Customers can also order more or less rice and sauce, so even those who are watching their health need not worry. The restaurant’s “Unagi Musubi” eel rice balls have even been featured on television; they taste great even cold, and thus they are a popular item to bring home and share with friends and family.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Okuhidaonsengouhitoegane 868-3

This restaurant is located near the “Shin-Hirayu Onsen” bus stop. Their “tecchan nabe” and “tocchan nabe” that use Hida beef offal are highly recommended. The amazing taste of cabbage and offal seasoned with their secret miso and soup is popular for making you want more. In addition, they also offer ramen and udon noodles, and it is said to be delicious even when udon is added to the hot pot. At night, the store can be used with the feeling of an izakaya (Japanese-style pub). Enjoy meals here with friends and family, and even relaxing dinners by yourself. This famous store has been covered by television programs and is visited by celebrities.

Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Nyukawachouboukata 1064-1

This mountain yam restaurant is rare even for Japan, and is located approximately a 15-minute drive from Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway and Chubu-Jukan Expressway Takayama Interchange or JR Takayama Station. Situated inside the kominka (old house) called “Gassho no Yakata,” reconstructing the gassho (large thatched roof) style of “Jinen no Mura,” you can taste local cuisine using local ingredients in a space filled with nostalgia and the warmth of wood. Their most popular menu item is the “tororo-meshi,” which has the flavor of yams seasoned with dashi (Japanese soup stock) and local Hida-grown koshihikari rice that taste excellent together. Seasonal flavors such as their Hida beef hoba-miso (miso grilled on magnolia leaf) course are also recommended.
