4/5/2008

One of Japan’s three most beautiful festival, the event does not lack tourists and visitors in participation. The Shinto festival is held twice in a year, spring and autumn, in the old town of Takayama. This year’s spring Takayama festival will be held on the April 14-15 2008. So do try to catch it because it is a sight to behold. The throngs of people visiting the old towns brings the sleepy place to life.

There are usually evening and morning events with beautiful processions, floats and performances in traditional costumes.
