Takayama Jinya
Historical Monument
Takayama Jinya was where prefectural governors and deputies exercised government since Hida was put under direct control of the Shogunate in 1692. The purpose of direct jurisdiction was access to the abundant timber and underground resources. After the Meiji Restoration, this building was also used as the Takayama prefectural government building. In order to conserve Takayama Jinya, 16 years of repair and reconstruction work were undertaken and were completed in 1996. There were 60 regional headquarters and sub-headquarters nationwide at the end of the Edo period, but the Takayama Jinya is the only building left in existence today. Takayama Jinya has been certified with two stars in the Michelin Green Guide Japan.

- Fantastic experience on governor housing. It is very educational and could be boring to some. Enjoy the little garden. Quite a historical moment.

- Nice town, some lovely views.
- We arrived here on a Tuesday and learned many of restaurants and stores are closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they are open weekends. So watch your timing.The town has some very pretty photo-op...

- Historical Place for Japanese
- Interesting historical place for Japanese. A quick walk thru within the building however not sure if it is worth a visit as there was not much to see.
