Takayama's Teramachi is a heritage district in Takayama, in the Higashiyama walking area.
This historically rich area is home to 13 temples and five shrines, which visitors can explore via walking paths, all within minutes walk of each other. None are large, but they are all very well kept and contain many historic buildings.
Many of the temples were built by the Kanamori clan, a famous family who headed the city during the 16th-century.
