Takayama Jinya - A Peek Inside the Edo-era Government Office

When you come to Takayama, in addition to walking around Sannomachi and eating Hida beef, I recommend that you visit the government offices of the Edo period! Takayama Jinya is the only government office in Japan that remains from the Edo period. The ancient and neat government offices are well preserved here, and it is a national relic that must be seen. Before entering through the main gate, I happened to see the staff drawing Qinghai waves on the sand. Every stroke of the mud rake created a perfect arc, which was truly breathtaking. Take off your shoes and walk along the tatami corridor. The first place you arrive at is where officials work, including offices, conference rooms, and interrogation areas; followed by the living area, which includes official residences, kitchens, and granaries. You will pass by many Japanese garden landscapes on the way, which are lush and green. I recommend you to check in at the Central Garden, where the scenery is beautiful and makes people feel peaceful. You may not know it until you hear it, but there are actually 152 rabbit nails hidden in the formation house. You can look for them when you visit! #JapanMustGo #Overseas Travel #Takayama City #LeisureLife
