UNESCO registration festival in Takayama

Hello everyone, it is Nana in Takayama.

As you may know Takayama is famous for its festival normally held twice a year once in spring and once in fall. 

However, this year hold a special edition to celebrate the registration of the floats to the UNESCO patrimony. For this edition both fall and spring floats where gathered in the city. You can enjoy all the Karakuri story on one day and two different lion dances as spring and fall have different one. Most of our guests did not know about the event and got really excited with it.

I got to see the spring floats once again and more of the night festival than the spring edition during which I only watched the start.
