Takayama Jinya
(Source: 城とか陵墓とか)
Historical resources of great value
Visitors can see some of the components of Jinya reproduced inside the building, including a main office called Oyaku-dokoro as well as Oshirasu, where criminals and the accused were investigated and tried. The door of the front gate is stained with blood, a reminder of a rebellion which broke out in the Edo era. All of these make Jinya a place of significant historical importance.

Jinya Morning Market
The morning market is held in front of Jinya everyday from 6 am to noon. Locally grown vegetables and fruits, as well as folk craft items, are sold by 45 or so vendors and it is full of a vibrant atmosphere. Our recommendation is Sarubobo, a prayer doll for the safe delivery of a baby and family happiness. Dolls are all handmade by female artisans from the local area and will make a perfect souvenir to take home.

Nakabashi
In front of Jinya runs Miya River and the bridge that crosses over it is Nakabashi, an icon of Hida Takayama with its visually striking red railings. In springtime, the cherry blossoms along the river and the red bridge create a bewitching scenery. The bridge is illuminated each season on limited dates, during which time visitors can enjoy fantastic views.

Jinya skewered dumplings
Jinya Dango, located right next to Takayama Jinya, is an establishment of great acclaim serving mitarashi dango (glazed and skewered rice dumplings), Takayama’s specialty food. Elsewhere these dango are normally glazed with sweet sauce but at Takayama, they are dipped in soy sauce and then grilled. The moment you taste the dumpling, a fragrant flavor of grilled soy sauce starts to spread in your mouth.
