It was a vllage within the mountains. It took us 50mins to take a bus ride from takayama. Thank God for the newly build expressway!
It was a nice weather. It was scenic, and wonderful. Even the flowers were fresher than any other places. |
|  | Language Barrier Knowing we have a short time here, we managed to use sign language to ask the owner to give a ride to the town. It took us 15mins to let him understand our rqst. |
| | The Mountain Top It was not easy to get up, rather it was deadly to get down. We rushed down while we were still able to catch a bit of light. The staircase was small and with big gap, the road was not even, there were a lot of small stones, luckily we did not slipped. |
