Day 2 - Takayama: More Than Just An Alley of Old Private Houses :D

Takayama is such a quaint and laid back town. :) It's a place to slow down one's pace and to enjoy it's rich culture & heritage. 

This alley of old private houses (Sanmachi Suji) has been converted to cafes and shops selling traditional produce, sakes and souvenirs.

Danger zone for shopaholic! *.*

Mitsue just had to try Takayama's famous beef sushi! :)

And it was really good, according to Mitsue! :)))

There's so much to discover at Takayama. But we seemed to be stucked in the alley. Help!:)))
