It is highly recommended to visit before 12 PM, especially during colder weather. The cool, fresh air combined with the riverside setting creates a very peaceful atmosphere. You can enjoy the view of fish and ducks along the river while strolling through the market, which makes the experience even more delightful.

Miyagawa Morning Market is a must-visit in Takayama. It’s located along the river, so the atmosphere is very relaxing and the views are beautiful. There are many stalls selling local snacks, fresh produce, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. I also loved seeing people enjoy food by the riverside — the water is incredibly clear and there are lots of fish.
Must-try foods here: takoyaki, taiyaki, and Koma Coffee (famous for its edible cookie cup and latte art). Great place for a morning stroll and to experience the local vibe. Highly recommended!
My first trip to Miyagawa Morning Market was in 2017, and it was just as lovely when I visited again this November 🥰. It’s a small market with a nice variety of snacks. I bought different local treats as souvenirs. I bought some bread , custard, beef skewers as well, and also picked up two bowls from a handmade ceramics shop. It’s good to wander around there at a leisurely pace.
Took many photos of course🤗
Visit this morning market when traveling to Takayama and check out local food and handmade/souvenir products. We loved buying croissants from Ander-sen (you must try their Anko croissants) paired with hot coffee while we enjoyed the view from the river. The market is open daily from 7am to 12pm (8am during winter).
