Hi there!
Takayama has a number of “specialty” foods, and one of those foods is ramen!
Some other local foods you may want to try in Takayama:

There are different types of ramen you can get, so a bowl of ramen noodles can range in price depending on what you want in your ramen.
I got the basic Takayama ramen, and it cost around 700 yen (US$7).
So as far as the cost of food in Japan, I’d say this meal cost was pretty average for a restaurant.
