Japan is a favourite country to visit for many Thais. On top of its friendly people, flavourful food and good transportation, what we love about this country is being able to enjoy its beautiful natural scenery in cool and comfortable weather. I got to experience all of this during my five-day trip to central Japan one month ago.
This time, I went to several places, including Gifu, Nagano, Aichi and Shizuoka prefectures in Chubu, a region located in the heart of Honshu.
My first stop was Takayama, a former castle town in the mountainous Hida region of Gifu. This historic city is known for its well-preserved Edo-period architecture and traditional atmosphere.
