What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1938 (Showa 13), this is the birthplace of Takayama ramen—starting as a food stall and now in its 3rd generation. The pork-bone and umami-vegetable broth seasoned with bonito soy sauce and thin wavy noodles is Hida Takayama's iconic dish. Lines of 60+ people before opening are common. Listed in Michelin Guide Aichi/Gifu/Mie 2019 with a Michelin Plate. About 8 min walk from Takayama Station.

"Masago Soba is the first name in Takayama ramen," "Subtle yet deep flavor," "Worth the wait." Tabelog 3.62 (738 reviews), Yahoo! Maps 3.91. Closes when sold out—arrive early.
