The Shiroyama Park is located on a hill that was once the site of Takayama Castle. Lord Kanamori started building a castle here in 1590 it was fully completed sixteen years later. With changes in local administration at the end of the 17th century, the castle was no longer used and many of its buildings were destroyed or removed to nearby temples and shrines. In the late 19th century, the castle site was made into Shiroyama Park. Remains of the original dungeon foundations and walls can still be seen, and the park is famous for its lush greenery. There are also fine views of Takayama and the Japan Alps.

At the Kaji bashi are two statues of manlike figures. On one side of the bridge is one with very long arms. At the other side is a figure with very long legs.

The Naka bashi is maybe not entirely off the beathen path, but it makes a nice picture in our bridges series. There are cherryblossom trees next to the bridge and the contrast of the pink blossom and the orange red bridge is magical....

In the cherryblossom season the spotlights along the Miya river give a great view from the Yanagi bridge to the Naka bashi.

This small but nice bridge spans over the Enako river. We crossed it on our way to the festival floats hall.
