地元のお祭りたち local festivals

This year, we visited so many festivals and fireworks
that were held here and there throughout the town.
Even supermarkets hold festivals during summer!!
And of course, there are still several left till the end of summer.

Kids have memorized all the steps of
"Hidayansa," the very local bon-dance song
which every single citizen of Takayama can dance.

here's a link to how the dance goes

It is so nice to feel the cool breeze at night
and enjoy the songs, the dances, and fireworks
together with delicious food and alcohol!!

Out of all the festivals,
I strongly recommend the Tezutsu Fireworks!! (hand-held fireworks)

We haven't had the chance to see it right in front of the big stage
but still we can enjoy it quite close from them!!
It's soooooo exciting!  

(as for the photos of the tezutsu fireworks, I'm going to
put them on my next post)

今年は、高山の、とにかくたくさんのお祭りに出向きました。
大小様々なお祭りがあり、なんと、スーパーの各店舗までもが
お祭りを開きます。

我が家のキッズ、
高山市民ならば、誰でも踊れる「飛騨やんさ」を
すっかり覚えましたよ。

飛騨やんさってこんな感じ

夜の涼しい風にあたりながら
歌って踊って花火をみて
更には美味しいおつまみとお酒をいただき
高山の夏は最高なのです♪

一番のオススメは以前も紹介した手筒花火！！
結局今年も、目の前では見れませんでしたが
少し離れた場所からでも、すごい迫力なんです！！
チャンスがあれば観に来てくださ～い。

（写真がたくさんになってしまったので、
手筒の写真は次回アップします～）
