| After having our breakfast and a sad goodbye to Mama-san and Momo-chan, we continued to Kanazawa Station to take a bus to Shirakawago....here's the ticket |
 |
| Finally, we reached Shirakawago and the morning rain makes everything feel and looks fresh |
 |
| The bus ticket counter next to the bus stop |
 |
| Now its time to cross the bridge |
 |
| The side walkway along the river |
 |
| In front of the bridge.....lets go!!! |
 |
| In the middle of the bridge.....I've been here during the Sakura blooming season and it was snowing here...so the landscape looks a bit difference. This time around, the river undercurrent was not as strong as during that time....hmmm |
 |
| The tori leading to the village |
 |
| Vegetables garden along side this house....so nice |
 |
| The cool ice water running through the drain.........you would not believe it but there is fishes inside them hehehe |
 |
| Still got some flowers left and it makes my picture look nicer ヽ(；▽；)ノ |
 |
| A souvenir shop at the main road |
 |
| Again the flowers makes my picture nice hehehehe (⌒▽⌒)☆ |
 |
| A water wheel next to a house |
 |
| My travel buddy with the houses of Shirakawago at the background |
 |
| We went into one of the house just to see how the inside look like......... |
 |
| I just can't stopped from snapping picture of houses with flowers hihihi (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) |
 |
| Water running at the side of "padi" fields with old houses..........aaaa....the serenity of the place |
 |
| Another nice snap |
 |
| Most of the houses have these red cherry like fruits (which I don't think we can eat tho).....maybe for good blessing of something *(*´∀｀*)☆ |
 |
| The thatched roofs up-closed |
 |
| Another nice house |
 |
| A pathway from the main road leading to the way up to the viewing point |
 |
| The gravel road....nice isn't it???!!! |
 |
| Yeah after climbing the steep road, we finally reached the view point..........and the village down the valley looks soo beautiful landscaped with autumn leaves |
 |
| The place to snap a picture |
 |
| My sis busy with her hp to take pictures |
 |
| Ahhhh....the sun finally out...........the sky turn blue and it looks soo much beautiful |
 |
| A nice snap of the viewing point |
 |
| After getting all the pictures that we need, we went down back to the village and took a stroll around |
 |
| Padi field with gassho-zukuri farmhouse |
 |
| I think I overdo it here.............sooo many pictures to share....must be because of the place...all my pictures turn out beautiful hehehehe Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ |
 |
| Ahhh...look how nice the vegetables |
 |
| Yum.....imagining these in miso soup makes my mouth water........I must be hungry hahahaha |
 |
| More padi field with the farmhouses............I just can't get enough of them （*＾ワ＾*） |
 |
| More farmhouse |
 |
| My sis together with the scarecrows of Shirakawago..............they blended well together right??? hahahaha |
 |
| My sis posing in the middle of standing bundle of thatch |

 |
| Shirakawago in autumn |
 |
| After spending about nearly 3hrs, we quickly went back to the bus station to catch our bus to Takayama....still managed to snap a few last pictures of Shirakawago |
 |
| The Shirakawago Bridge |
 |
| After about an hour bus ride, we reached our next destination and our stop for the nite....Takayama |
 |
| The train station next to the bus station |
 |
| Since we still got time....now its time to go and explore the old town...since we stayed at Jhopper Takayama, it only takes about 5 min walk to get to this area |
 |
| A row of old town houses |
 |
| The red bridge where the Takayama Spring Festival always took place |
 |
| It was raining while we were strolling but luckily we borrow umbrellas from the hostel...yokatta |
 |
| A nice looking souvenir shop along the street |
 |
| A nice looking hat with Takayama on it |
 |
| One last snap of the row of houses at the old town |
