A bit out of the way, but worth a visit. Takayama has numerous historic sites (plus such tourist stuff as the "Teddy Bear Eco Village"). The town itself is pleasant and compact--a good place to get a feeling for everyday life in modern Japan.

Access: There are several express trains from Nagoya. If you're starting from Osaka or Kyoto, there's a convenient early morning express.
