Miyagawa Morning Market is a historic market dating back to the Edo period, several hundred years old. It's also considered one of the most famous and popular morning markets among tourists. The market sits along the Miyagawa River, and inside you'll find a wide variety of local goods — fresh food, native vegetables and fruit, local handicrafts, and souvenirs. There's quite a lot of delicious local food to try, with popular items including teppanyaki, sushi, Hida beef, and freshly made rice crackers. This market is therefore more than just a place to shop — it's also somewhere travelers can get an up-close feel for local life and culture. There are also stairs from the market area leading down to the Miyagawa River, where you can see ducks along the water. The surroundings are shaded and the scenery is truly beautiful.
