In addition to the Sanju-no-to (three-sotoried pagoda), Iozan's Kokubunji has a two-storied bell gate that is said to have been moved from Takayama castle, foundation stones dating to the initial construction about 1,200 years ago, and a stateliness befitting the greatest temple in Hida.

Historic District (Kami-Sannomachi)
Feel like you've traveled back in time by visiting Kami-Sannomachi, which shows what Takayama looked like in the Edo Period (late 19th century). Even now, this town still bustles with people.
