A famous spot in...
A famous spot in Gifu-prefecture is Takayama city.
The three main streets of San-machi Suji (Ichino-machi,Nino-machi and San-machi) are narrow, and lined with stores selling traditional wares, craftsmen's workshops, inns and breweries (indicated by a ball made of cedar leaves hanging outside). You will also find restaurants serving local delicacies such as soba noodles, and a number of small museums, where the buildings are every bit as interesting as the items on display. You may also notice some store houses in which are kept the tall festival floats that are brought out at Takayama's famous Spring and Autumn festivals.
