Staying in Takayama for two nights, we had time to check out Hida-Furukawa, a small town 15 minutes from Takayama by train.
 |
| Approaching the old parts of the town. It is a short walk from the station. |
 |
| Koinobori are left hanging out for several weeks in this town. In other parts of Japan only on Children's Day |
 |
| Furukawa is famous for the old street with a canal |
 |
| Koi swim in the canal |
 |
| A temple at one end of the old street |
 |
| The parallel old street has no canal. You only need one or two hours to explore Furukawa, but it is a nice side-trip from Takayama nevertheless. |
