The Takayama Main Line is a Japanese railway line between Gifu Station in Gifu and Toyama Station in Toyama, operated by Central Japan Railway Company and West Japan Railway Company. The line directly links the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area and Hokuriku region in a shorter distance, but with a longer travel time, than by using the combination of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen and Hokuriku Main Line. Now the line primarily functions as a way to access the scenic areas of Hida, in the rugged mountains of northern Gifu Prefecture, such as Gero onsen, Takayama, Shirakawa-gō, and the Kiso River. The first section of the line, between Gifu and Kagamigahara, opened in 1920 . The whole line was completed in 1934.
Insider tip — Minokamo Onsen lies on the Kiso River plain in southern Gifu, where spa facilities channel bicarbonate thermal water into well-appointed indoor baths. The city's location between Nagoya and the Hida mountains makes it an accessible day-trip for urban bathers. Waters are smooth and mildly alkaline, earning the local nickname 'beauty water.' Evening bathers are treated to illuminated views of the Kiso riverbank from the upper-floor facilities.
