Takayama Gifu Prefecture

Takayama 

There will be no need to explain it again.Because many guidebooks also introduce it The streets of the Edo period are preserved　very well .I have been visiting again and again.

Takayama during the day time is, of course, wonderful. But if you can, I would like you to walk on Takayama after dusk.Tourists are extremely few. In the dusk, the lantern will have a light. A fantastic scenery spreads out in front of you.

”Perhaps I am walking around the town of Takayama  in the Edo period?"

Maybe you think so.

It's a holiday, so it's obviously crowded.

Kiso-Hirasawa, Nagano Prefecture

I learned  in the guide book that old buildings still existed in Kiso-hirasawa next to Narai and stopped by.However, unfortunately Kiso-Hirasawa is still inferior compared to Narai.

Firstly, the number of old buildings is small.
In addition, electric wires and signboards are destroying the precious scenery.
I think that if it can solve the problem it will become an excellent sightseeing resource.

For people who like lacquer ware, here is recommended because there are many shops.

Kiso road has a lot of old scenery.If administration can properly arrange it, it will be a wonderful long distance trail that can fully enjoy the traveling feeling of the Edo period.This is true for Japanese people, but it is more appealing for foreigners.

Sukawa post , Gunma Prefecture

I visited at Sukawa post in Gunma Prefecture.
The atmosphere of the old roadside remains.

The street was vacant because I visited early in the morning.
Souvenirs were closed.
 It will be crowded during the day.
