Okuhida (‰œ”ò‘Ë) is a remote region of Gifu Prefecture in the mountains of the Northern Japan Alps. Technically part of Takayama City, Okuhida is a one hour bus ride outside of central Takayama, just across the border from Kamikochi and Nagano Prefecture.

The Okuhida region is famous for its hot springs and is one of the best places in all of Japan to enjoy large, attractive outdoor baths in natural settings and to overnight at a rustic ryokan.
