Takayama () is a city in the northern part of Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Takayama City, Japan's largest city (2179.6705 square kilometers), even more than Kagawa Prefecture and Osaka Prefecture, is equivalent to the entire area of Tokyo, the city has the name of "Little Kyoto", and there are many Japanese and foreign countries every year. Sightseeing Takayama is a "city under the town" built in the 16th century Takayama Castle (a town developed around the prince's hometown). The entire mountain city is dominated by wooden architecture, and the exquisite carpentry craftsmanship makes the whole mountain city quaint. Since ancient times, the technique of eucalyptus wood carving has been the highest in the country. The carpenter of the scorpion has been called for the Japanese royal palace palace house, Kyoto Nara. Most of the temples in the area are from the hands of the master craftsmen of the flying shovel. These traditional crafts are still enduring for a long time. They are the essence of the whole Japanese craftsmanship. Many streets in the mountains still maintain the ancient elegant atmosphere. Many monuments are worth visiting for visitors. The temples here are worth visiting. The shrines, rivers and bridges all have the charm of Kyoto, and some aspects have the beauty that even Kyoto can't match. In the suburbs of Takayama, the land of Hida is about 99,000 square meters, and there are more than 30 representative residential buildings in the Hida area. The herringbone wood roof building and thatched roof building reproduce the original scene of the cornice.
