We met Yama at the tour agency office and stated our tour. We had already been at Takayama for a few days but Yama introduced us to food that we would not have tried in our own - one example for a chestnut mochi and the soft rice cake. Come with an empty stomach.

We had a great time on the foodtour with Yama. Learned a lot, tasted different things and made rice cookies. We can recommend Yama's foodtour.
