Planning your trip to Kanayama

Hida-Kanayama Train Station
Hida-Kanayama Station lies on the train line connecting Nagoya in the southeast to Takayama and other points north. From here one can get trains south to such places as Gifu city as well as Nagoya, or north to Takayama and central Gero, also known as Gero Onsen ("Gero Hot Springs"); and other places. Traveling speed depends on which type of train you take. The two main types are the futsu (normal) trains, which are inexpensive but which stop at every little station along the way, and the tokkyu (limited express trains), which are faster, stopping at selected towns only, and which cost about twice as much. Buying a train ticket to KANAYAMA When you're buying a return ticket to Kanayama, be sure to ask for a ticket to "HIDAKanayama", (pronounced hee-DAW). Asking for just plain "Kanayama" has landed some Ketchikan visitors in the wrong town! |
