New!  Takayama  New!

We spent two nights in Takayama in order to enjoy the Takayama Autumn Festival held on October 9 and 10, 2008.  We were fortunate that the weather was clear so that all the festival events, including a karakuri-ningyo (puppet) performance and a parade of floats at night, took place as had been scheduled.
