The city
What to expect from Takayama.
Takayama, in the Hida Mountains of Gifu, preserves the Sanmachi old town with merchant houses from the Edo period, sake breweries and morning markets by the river. Takayama Jinya is the only surviving magistrate’s office from the shogunate in the country, and the Takayama Festival, in spring and autumn, fills the streets with carved festival floats. The town is a base for Shirakawa-go and Hida Furukawa.
