Autumn holiday in Japan - Part IV

Day 7 - Takayama, Shirakawago

After the bad disappointment on the previous day, I had no courage to venture too far. So I decided to change my itinery for the day: Instead of travelling all the way down to My Fuji, just to enjoy a few moment of wonders, I decided to stay pu tin Takayama and make a trip down to Shirakawago, and explore more of Takayama.

Shall let the pictures do the talking for this day.
Stepping out early in the morning - Sousuke~

Taking a morning stroll along the famous street..

That's right! ShinMeiMachi~

Followed by the Morning market...

And some surprise find...

Like these weird-looking pumkins! A few more days to Halloween I supposed!

Now, the bus ride to Shirakwago...

Beautiful skies and colourful flora...

A glimse at the lovely mountains as the bus crosses the bridge...

The scenery are just so beautiful... I couldn't possibly sjare all o them.

Here's one's taken while going through a partially covered tunnel...

Oh! Are we finally reaching Shirakawago?

Oh yes! Reached!! Here's how the whole village looks like (not a very well-taken picture.)

Lovely flowers by the side..

The famous 3s~

The enormous task of constructing the thatched grass roof that allows them to withstand all weather.... (Don't be mistaken, I'm not so lucky to witness this. It is a picture of a poster that I took.)

That's all for now.

Some thoughts along the way back to Kobe:

"I'm finally travelling with somebody tomorrow onwards!! Something to look forward to..."
