Went here two days agp, stayed for two nights, happened across a street festival – dancing festival, took some videos (watchable at Youtube – number 1 is here and number 2 (taiko drummers) is here) and filled a heap of memory cards with some photos. I wrote a post for Sushimatic about the whole trip and you can enjoy the pix over at Flickr

Takayama is one of the most amazing places I’ve been to yet in Japan. All the frills of Kyoto without the snobbery.
