What to know
Two morning markets (朝市, Asaichi) are held daily in Takayama from around 6:00 (one hour later in winter) until noon: the Miyagawa Market along the Miyagawa River in the old town, and the Jinya-mae Market in front of the Takayama Jinya.
The stalls sell local crafts, snacks, and farm products such as vegetables, pickles, and flowers. The markets have a pleasant atmosphere as tourists and locals alike stroll from stall to stall, buying goods and food and chatting.
Either morning market can be reached in about a ten-minute walk from JR Takayama Station.
