Antique Hunting at the Miyakawa Morning Market

The morning market that opens every day along the Miyakawa River in Takayama City is one of Japan's three major morning markets. Along with local farm products and pickles, there are scattered stalls selling Hida folk antiques, antique tableware, and traditional toys. On the 7th and 8th of each month, special antique markets are held, drawing antique dealers from across the country. You can discover treasures like rustic pottery, old warehouse keys, and antique glass. Walk through the crisp early morning air with a treasure hunting spirit.
