▪️Takayama Array House: A Dry Landscape Garden
With its pure wooden structure and elegant courtyard scenery at several corners, Takayama Jinya deserves to be the most beautiful business card in Takayama
The unenclosed array houses are connected to the courtyard through doors or wooden windows everywhere, and there are good corners suitable for taking pictures everywhere. The scenery of the courtyard is simply amazing❗️
▪️Nakabashi: A touch of vermilion on the Miyagawa River
The Nakabashi across the Miyagawa River is the most representative bridge in Takayama
Standing on the bridge, one side is the majestic alpine array house, and the other side is the quaint and continuous alpine ancient street.
▪️Takayama Ancient Street: The ancient charm of Edo continues to this day
The mountain with the reputation of "Little Kyoto" stands next to the 400-year-old street
The old street style is carefully preserved, there are no carved corners, and the beauty of order is simply and repeatedly constructed📷
On both sides of the ancient street are black bungalows made of all wood. The prominent lattice doors, windows and partitions exude a simple and traditional flavor, and the photos are super beautiful~
▪️Dongshan Tour Trail: Tour of more than a dozen temples
The Lord of Takayama's preference for Kyoto, so many temples were built in the foot of the mountain to the east of Takayama, and Higashiyama Temple Town originated from this
Although the sects of each temple are different, they only build mountain gates and do not build walls and valleys. Therefore, the ancient temples are continuous and neighbors to each other, forming a group of temples, which are collectively called "Dongshan Temple Town"
The point is❗️This is a relatively unpopular scenic spot in Gaoshan, with almost no people, it is simply a treasure place❗️
▪️Kokubunji Temple: Millennium ginkgo and ancient temple complement each other
With thousands of years of ginkgo trees and the oldest buildings in Takayama, Kokubunji Temple is the first ancient temple in Hida
Ginkgo trees and triple pagodas over 1250 years old are very spectacular 👏
▪️Miyagawa morning market: pick up a morning fun
The morning market in Takayama has a history of about 200 years, and its reputation is also one of the best among the three major morning markets in Japan
