The three streets located in the center of Takayama City, which is lined with mansions built from the Edo period to the Meiji period, are tourist attractions that represent Hida Takayama, which is known as the “Furui Machinami (old townscape.)”
The vermilion bridge that spans the Miyagawa River that runs through the center of the city is a famous photo spot, located about a 5-minute walk from the Furui Machinami.
