Enjoy a stroll and snacks in this traditional townscape

📍Old Streets of Takayama City The three streets of Kamimachi and Shimomachi, which developed as the center of the castle town and a merchant town, are called the old townscape. An irrigation canal flows under the eaves of a row of latticed windows, sake breweries have "sakebayashi" balls made of cedar leaves hanging from them, and the large doors of townhouses and noren curtains of long-established stores line the eaves. Kamimachi is lined with candy stores, traditional craft stores, and stores selling the famous "mitarashi dango," and is bustling with tourists. Shimomachi is a precious streetscape where stores related to civic life remain. It is a tourist spot for Takayama connoisseurs, with old-fashioned streets such as confectionery, rice cake stores, antique stores, agricultural equipment, tatami mats, stationery, post offices, and restaurants. #0円旅February2025
