Miyakawa Morning Market at Takayama City

 

When I went to Takayama city, I felt that the city looked similar to my hometown Matsue city.  

Both cities keep traditional Japanese culture and nature, and also both have beautiful rivers and streets.

Takayama Festival was added to the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016.

I want to visit there again in the season of Takayama Spring or Autumn Festival. 

I Go to Historic Villages of Gokayama

The Historic Villages of Shirakawago and Gokayama are one of Japan's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 

The cultural property consists of three historic mountain villages, stretching across the border of Gifu and Toyama Prefectures. 

My wife and I stayed almost whole one day from the morning to the evening at Gokayama village. 

The Gokayama literally "Five Mountains" in Japanese, is located in Toyama Prefecture.
