Boy's Festival
Commonly, we celebrate boy's festival on May 5th,
but in Takayama, we celebrate it one month later
because of the late coming of spring.
We put up carps along the Miyagawa (Miya-river)
and they are floating beautifuly
with the cool breeze blowing over the river.
With the fresh greens,
a stroll along the river is something you shouldn't miss
in such wonderful season!!

"Hinamatsuri" Girl's Festival
Typically, "Hinamatsuri" (Girl's Festival) is celebrated on March 3rd in Japan,
but because of the late coming of spring,
it is celebrated on April 3rd in Takayama.
In many places,
beautiful Hina Dolls are being decorated
and it is marvelous to take a
"find Hina Dolls stroll" in the town area.
Each and every faces and forms are distinctively different from others!!
It is always so difficult to take photos of window displays
because everything reflects on the window including myself, ha-ha.
But I hope you enjoy my photos
and believe me they are only a part of the numerous collections.
You will find tons of more Hina Dolls.
Have fun finding them!!

Mount Norikura
On a clear day like today,
Mount Norikura appears beautifully on the eastern sky of Takayama.
On such day,
I love to sit by the window have some coffee and view the mountains all day long.
If you are in Takayama on a day with clear sky
let me introduce you to several places where the mountains can be viewed perfectly!!
You shouldn't miss it!!
Below are some photos of Mount Norikura throughout the year.
