Hi from Takayama

I'm Sanae. I have lived in Takayama for 4 and a half years starting Oct. 2014 till March 2019. I enjoyed living in such a beautiful city surrounded by mountains. Here is a blog that shares the happy times I had in Takayama.

My new place is Anjo, Aichi, but I'm too much in love with Takayama, I will continue adding some more infos about Takayama, plus I will be adding some updates about my new place as well.

Also, my life has been about "moving" everywhere!! Believe it or not, this was my 14th time to move and I thought there are a lot to share about my "moving life." There are some special things that I see and experience by living in different cities not just in Japan but in other countries as well!!

Cheers to new findings!!

さなえです。2014年10月~2019年3月まで岐阜県高山市で過ごしました。山に囲まれた美しいこの町が大好きです。

実はすでに高山を出てしまいました。が、この先も時々高山インフォメーションをアップしつつ、近辺(愛知)の様子もお伝えしていこうと思います。

そうそう、それと
何を隠そう、今回の引越は人生で14度目の引越!あちこちと動き回ったものです。遠距離への引越はもちろん、同じ市内の引越であっても、違う角度から見る空は、全然違っていて、人生をがらっと変えてしまうことすらあります。「当たり前」の明日が来ない生活、大変なことも多いけど、学ぶこともたくさん!そんな「引っ越しあるある」も時々シェアしていきますね。

森の市 a green market

A market called "mori no ichi" is held only for two days
at the beginning of May every year.

We had wanted to go there since we started living in Takayama,
so I had left the whole two days open to visit this particular market.

It is held on the mountain side where the place used to be a ski run,
and all sorts of hand craft shops gather from all over Japan!!

Seeing the beautiful crafts and buying them of course are fun,
but talking to the people who actually make the products is what I enjoy the most.

Also, there are lots of fun activities that we are able to attend at a fair price.

My kids loved leather crafting and they made 2 of them for themselves
and for a gift!!  (making a tiny key accessory)

I can't believe we have to wait for another whole year for this market!!

毎年、5月の始めに二日間だけ
「森の市」というマーケットが開催されます。。

この1年、首を長くして待っていたマーケットだったので
この日のために、丸々二日間、予定を空けていました :)

その昔、スキー場として使われていた場所での開催なんです。

ありとあらゆる手作りクラフト作家さんが、日本全国から集結するのです。

こだわりの物たちを見るのも楽しい、買うのも嬉しい、
でも、作家さんたちとのおしゃべりが一番好きです、私。

物を買うだけでなく、
数々の体験コーナーも設けられています。

子供たちがはまったのは、
レザーキーホルダー作り、自分の分や人にあげる分まで
作っていましたよ。

次回まで、また一年待たないといけないなんて、、、。

    1. Hi Tomo,
      It was such a beautiful day!! There are lots of outdoor events starting now in Takayama but I'm sure there are more events going on in Nagoya. You weren't that interested when you were living there I guess. I'm glad you enjoy your life in Thailand now!! Fun things don't jump into you, you need to look for them!!
