D5 Takayama part 2


After lunch, we visited the floats exhibit.
Takayama holds two annual festivals which attracts over 300,000 visitors. The main part of festival is the floats parade.

Next to the exhibit, it's the shrine that directs the festival. We saw an amazing display of chrysanthemum and chrysanthemum bonsais.

We also visited a nearby museum. After we got in, we realized it's showing miniature models of the Toshogu mausoleum in Nikko; made by local craftsmen.
