Residence Takayama-jin interesting as the former Zastava, which was created by the state in order to bring the province under the control of the government Hida Bakufu (Shogunate) in Edo period. The reason for the attention of the shogunate had large reserves of timber in the province. The outpost was built near the town, which is now called Hachiko-machi. It is located in the old part of the city near the bridge Nakabasi.
