Morning Markets (Asaichi)
Two morning markets (朝市, Asaichi) are held in Takayama on a daily basis from around 6:00 (7:00 in winter) to noon: the Miyagawa Market along the Miyagawa River in the old town, and the Jinya-mae Market in front of the Takayama Jinya.
The stands sell local crafts, snacks and farm products such as vegetables, pickles and flowers. There is typically a pleasant atmosphere around the markets, as tourists and locals alike saunter from stall to stall purchasing goods and food and talking.
Access
Either morning market can be reached in about a ten minute walk from JR Takayama Station.
