The Oba family Running while carrying fire down small streets CAN`T be good chaos in the ashes Is it snowing?! Drunken revellers 1 Drunken revellers 2 Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil - a strange thing to find outside a shrine in Godo town Takayama cho: Cherry blossoms in Takayama Ready for cormorant fishing Gassho Zukkuri 1 Gassho Zukkuri 2 (the "praying hands" farmhouses of the Hida area) Look waaaaay up!
