We traveled from Nagano to Gifu. ４ : Takayama

I introduce the traditional streetscape of Takayama city in Gifu Prefecture.

The festival and the early-morning market that are performed here are also famous.

＜　supper　＞

We ate the supper of Japanese inn with the sunken hearth.

We roasted and ate a sweetfish, and a skewered rice-cake that was dipped in miso

I looked back at those days when I had visited my father hometown as a child.

This traveler's diary terminates in this.

旅館での夕食は囲炉裏でした。

五平餅と鮎を炭火で焼いて食べました。

幼い頃、父の田舎に帰郷した当時を私は懐かしく思い出しました。

これで、この旅行記は終わります。
