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。

七夕 star festival

Takayama is celebrating the "star festival" today
on the 7th of August!!

Just like other festivals, the boy's and girl's festivals,
Takayama's star festival comes one month later than other
regions in Japan.

For the first time in four years
I found out that, neighbors of Takayama who live
close to Miya-River, celebrate the star festival
with such special decorations as the ones posted below.

They are so unique and special!!

I asked the men who were decorating them
and they told me that the neighbors will be gathering
soon after and enjoy their afternoon drinking and eating!!
Nice!!

今日は高山の七夕です♪

桃の節句や端午の節句同様、七夕も一か月遅れの高山です。

そして、高山へ引っ越して間もなく四年の今日、
初めて遭遇した、下の写真のような飾り。

飾りつけ中の男性に尋ねたところ、
宮川沿いにお住まいの方々（町内の方々）皆さんで
飾りつけをして、今夜、
飲んで、食って、七夕を祝うそうです。
わぁ、ステキ♪
