    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Okuhidaonsengouhirayu
    This museum is about a five-minute walk after getting off at the Hirayu Bus Terminal. The building is a remodeled private house with a half-hipped roof, with a sunken fireplace room and hemp clothing to show old rural life of the first floor, and exhibits of farm tools that introduce the history of Hida on the second floor. And another thing that is popular is Hirayu no Yu that adjoins the Hirayu Folk Museum. The rotenburo (open-air bath) has spring water directly from the source and is located in a clump of trees, giving it a great atmosphere. Able to see the changing scenes of the seasons from fresh green to autumn leaves and winter snow, you can enjoy the beauty of nature and Hirayu’s hot springs to your heart’s content.

    Gifu Takayama-shi Chishimamachi 1070
    "The Chanoyu Art Museum exhibits masterpieces by living national treasure holders of important intangible cultural properties, as well as by potters and craftsmen who have produced many masterpieces. In the tea ceremony room Zui-un-an, visitors can enjoy tea using tea utensils, and in the tea ceremony room ""Doukaku-an,"" a sukiya-style tea house made of yew wood, tea utensils are displayed according to the season."

    Essendo in auto è stato facile da raggiungere in 15 min dal centro di Takayama ma non so se è facile arrivarci con altri mezzi. Se siete appassionati di Via del Te non potete perdervi questo museo...
