Japan Day 2 - Gero ~ Takayama ~ Gassho Village ~ Toyama

Starting day 2 of the Japan trip with breakfast at the hotel. A mixture of western and japanese cuisines.





















Tour started at Takayama, an old castle town and was named little Kyoto since early times. A visit to the morning markets of Old Street Town will bring back one's childhood memories. The San Machi-Suji, once flourished by unique merchant houses with lattice windows along the merchant street, canals running under the eaves still retain the atmosphere of the Edo houses.

























Yeah~



Next up, Takayama Jinya, the place where goverment proceeding of Hida were held during the Edo period and the only presently existing district governing post and magistrate's office in Japan.
