The old town of Hida Takayama, with its scenery resembling that of the Edo period, features a water channel flowing under the eaves that continue with latticed windows, and "sakebayashi" made of cedar leaves hanging from the eaves of sake breweries. It has been designated as a "Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings," a national designation. Especially in the Kamisannomachi and Kamisan-no-machi areas, where traditional inns and shops gather, there are many buildings that display the wooden plaques of the "Landscape Design Award," which recognizes buildings that are suitable for creating a harmonious landscape with nature.
