    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Shimosannomachi
    "This market is held every morning on the roadside in Shimo-sanno-machi, Takayama City, along the Miya River. The market evolved out of a rice market, mulberry leaf market and flower market held in the area in the Edo period (1603-1868); by the middle part of the Meiji period (1868-1912), it had evolved into a ""Morning Market"" in which vegetables were laid out for sale. Today, a range of local specialty products-including vegetables such as Hida spring onions and waxy corn, which are traditional foods in the Hida region, as well as Mitarashi Dango rice-dumplings, which are marinated in soy sauce repeatedly before cooking, and which, unlike most Dango, are not sweet-can be found together crowded together. The Miyagawa Morning Market is ranked as one of the top three best morning markets in Japan, and has become one of Takayama City's major tourist attractions."

    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Hachikenmachi 1-5
    A morning market counted as one of the three largest in Japan which is held each morning in a plaza before the Takayama Jinya former regional administrative headquarters a 10 minute walk from JR Takayama Station. The market was started in the Edo period as a mulberry market; from the mid- Meiji period, local farmers began selling their produce here, ultimately resulting in the market as it exists today. A variety of tented stalls large and small operate in the market, selling fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruits; flowers; and folk crafts. Visitors can enjoy shopping while listen to the sounds of the regional Takayama dialect as customers and sellers interact. The folk crafts sold here such as sarubobo, traditional protective amulets native to the Hida region, are all handmade and unique.
