Miyagawa Morning Market, Takayama Overview
Stalls along the river selling pickles, miso, apples, sarubobo dolls and hot snacks, running every morning of the year. Check the clock before setting an alarm: this one opens at 07:00, and 08:00 from December to March, while the Jinya-mae market across town starts an hour earlier. Guides that say both open at six will have you standing on an empty riverbank in winter.
