Takayama

The landscape around Takayama is a mountain basin in the Hida region, with the Miyagawa flowing through the city, which has shaped both its compact urban form and its role as a regional market centre. Also known as Hida-Takayama, the city preserves merchant streets in the Sanmachi Suji district, where dark timber façades recall the Edo-period townscape. Takayama Jinya, a former government office of the Tokugawa shogunate, survives as an important administrative complex. Each spring and autumn, the Takayama Festival brings elaborately decorated floats through the old quarters.
