The history of Miyagawa Morning Market dates back to the Edo period. Initially, it developed into a rice market, mulberry market, flower market, etc., and from the mid-Meiji period, the wives of farmers began to line up vegetables, and it came to be called a morning market.

Miyagawa Morning Market is one of the most famous tourist spots in Takayama City. Every morning, local farmers and merchants sell fresh vegetables, fruits, pickles, processed foods, folk crafts, and more.

The greatest attraction of this morning market is that you can enjoy shopping while interacting directly with the producers. The shopkeepers will carefully explain the details of each product and how to eat them deliciously. Not only can you purchase fresh and seasonal products, but it is also a valuable experience to experience the warmth of the local people. Also, just walking through the morning market allows you to get a glimpse of the local culture and eating habits, and you can feel closer to the life of Takayama.

Similarly, there is also the "Jin'ya-mae Morning Market".
