Jinya-mae Morning Market

Every morning, local farmers and craftspeople set up stalls in the small plaza before the Takayama Jinya (the only surviving Edo-period provincial magistrate's office). The market specializes in mountain vegetables, homemade miso, local pickles (tsukemono), dried persimmons, and handmade crafts. It's smaller and more intimate than the Miyagawa market across town, and the vendors are predominantly elderly farmers who have been trading here for decades.
