Hida Folk Village (Hida no Sato) is best visited during two distinctive seasons: spring and autumn. Spring, particularly from late March to April, is an ideal time due to the cherry blossom season, when the Village is framed by beautiful sakura flowers, offering a picturesque traditional Japanese landscape. The weather is pleasantly mild and conducive for walking around the open-air museum and enjoying the blooming gardens. This period also aligns with Takayama's famous spring festival, Sanno-matsuri, usually held on April 14th and 15th, making it a culturally rich time to explore the area.
Autumn, from late September to November, presents another outstanding opportunity to visit Hida Folk Village. During this season, the area is adorned with vibrant autumn foliage, with maple leaves turning intense shades of red, orange, and yellow. The cooler temperatures are comfortable for visitors, and the fall landscape provides a stunning backdrop to the thatched-roof houses and historic structures. Additionally, visitors may also coincide their visit with the Takayama Autumn Festival, Hachiman Matsuri, held on October 9th and 10th, known for its elaborate floats and traditional performances.
