Discovering the Charming Old Streets of Takayama
The old townscape of Takayama is a must-visit tourist spot in Hida Takayama. It is always bustling with visitors, irrespective of the time of your visit. The old streets are characterized by trellised latticework, irrigation canals flowing under the eaves, and "sakebayashi" - a signboard made of cedar leaves - hanging down at sake breweries. The eaves are lined with noren curtains of long-established stores and the large doors of townhouses, further enhancing the place's charm.
