Sanmachi Suji by cheesecake17
Sanmachi Suji are 3 narrow streets in the center of Takayama's old town.
The streets are lined with traditional buildings, stores, sake breweries and private homes.
When walking the streets you really feel you are back in time...Some of the buildings house museums on folk art, local history ...
A few times I made the mistake and walked into a private home...becasue all the houses are really nicely keep to the tradition..but there are also some elegant former merchant houses open to the public, great to see.
I saw a few RICKSHAW , which you can rent for 3000 yen.for 2 people..but I did not ...just walking around the street felt more natural..
You can reach Sanmachi Suji in 5-10 minute walk from the JR Takayama Station which is just across the Miyagawa River.
