＊Japanese Festivals


I introduce about “Takayama festival”. This festival is held at Takayama in Gifu. This festival is in October 9 to 10 every year. It’s held in spring too. There are three beautiful festivals in Japan and this festival is included. Because it shows mechanism dolls that have skillful movement and floats that have trick. It has been going about 300 years, so it has a long history. I haven’t ever seen this festival. But when I went to Takayama with my friends, I saw a float in shed. It is very big and tall. I want to see again. Takayama have old row of houses along the street and hot spring. You can enjoy at there.
