The Takayama Morning Markets, or Asaichi, are a pair of open-air markets held daily along the Miyagawa River and in the Sanmachi Suji district, featuring stalls that date back to the Edo period. Visitors will find a lively assortment of local crafts, pickled vegetables, and seasonal produce, with wooden structures adding to the quaint atmosphere.

    The tour was thorough and our guide, Kumico, was exceptional. She utilized teaching materials such as photos, charts, and videos, and was always kind and patient with our questions. Her enthusiasm made us eager to return to Takayama. In my view, exploring Takayama without a guide would not offer the same experience. While I can't speak to other guides, I highly recommend Kumico.odeds428 on the Half-day guided tour of Takayama with a private guide tour

    This tour was fantastic! Takayama is lovely. Our guide, Mihoko, first took us to the Hida no-sato folk village, which was stunning. She shared her knowledge about how the locals live. Afterwards, we explored the charming old town streets, which are hard to describe due to their neatness. There were many shops, and Mihoko allowed us time to explore.Isaac_R on the Customizable private walking tour of Takayama tour
