Jinya-mae Morning Market

Small daily market in front of the Takayama Jin'ya

The smaller of Takayama's two morning markets, held every day until noon in the square in front of the Takayama Jin'ya. It is more obviously a farmers' market than the Miyagawa: most of the sellers are older women from villages around Takayama, with produce that changes with the season — wild mountain vegetables in spring, fresh tomatoes in summer, persimmons and chestnuts in autumn.

A few stalls sell pickled vegetables and home-made mochi. Less souvenir-oriented than the Miyagawa, and worth combining with a visit to the Jin'ya next door.
