Eleventh day Takayama (Japanese alps)


Arrived at Takayama in the Japan Alps about 150 km from Magome.
The Lion Head above is used in japanese dance/festivals and is supposed to make you more clever if you are bitten on the head by one. :) I wanted to buy one but the were to expensive :(
 
 
Bright colours in the shrines.


These are called Rickshaws and you can get a man to pull you around the town (sort of like a taxi but slower :P)


Takayama Bridge that at different times in the year festivals with big floats gather on it.


These are the private listed/preserved houses and shops in Takayama old town they are very pretty.






Lynda wanted this picture added >:(




A Bento for lunch they were yummy and very filling.
