Hida-Furukawa: may 2014

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.
