The Hida (ひだ, Hida) is a limited express train service operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) along the Takayama Main Line in central Japan since 1958, which connects Nagoya and Takayama in just over 2 hours, Osaka and Takayama in 4 hours 15 minutes and Nagoya and Toyama in 4 hours. The Hida serves various locations en route such as Gifu and Gero. The best feature for many of Limited Express Hida trains is the window that wraps around the cockpit offering un-interrupted views of the tracks in front of behind the train.
All trains are formed of KiHa 85 diesel multiple unit (DMU) sets, usually as 3-, 4-, 6-, or 7-car formations, or occasionally 10-car formations, especially during busy seasons.
New HC85 series hybrid trains are planned to be introduced on the service in 2022.
From the last stop, Toyama Station, you can connect to by the sightseeing train "The story of 13000".
