We conclude our visit to Takayama with a walk up to one of the surrounding hilltops, Shiroyama. We are a bit above the town there, and had a good view.

Overlooking the town is a rather big bell, attached to a nearby temple.

The hilltop was forested, with many wandering paths.

It’s forested enough to attract all sorts of wildlife, although we didn’t see any!

And we of course got a final glimpse of the wonderful autumn leaves. It’s a sight to remember this mountain town by.
