We walked up the riverside, and arrived at a bridge called Kappabashi, from which mountain view is excellent. We waited for the moment when morning light reached to Japanese larches with autumn colors. In Kamikouchi, Nagano, Japan.

Kamikōchi (Upper Highlands) is a remote mountainous highland valley within Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. It is within the Hida Mountains range, in the western region of Nagano Prefecture.
Kamikōchi is a high mountain valley 18 kilometers in length. The average elevation of the valley floor ranges between 1,400 m (4,600 ft) above sea level at the south end and 1,600 m (5,200 ft) at the northern tip. Kamikōchi is designated as one of Japan's National Cultural Assets & on the list of Special Natural Monuments and Special Places of Scenic Beauty.
Kamikōchi was logged extensively until the mid-19th Century. The Rev. Walter Weston, a British Anglican missionary, is credited through his writing with sparking interest in recreational mountaineering in Japan & also with lobbying to preserve the Kamikōchi area. Each year in June, the Weston Festival is celebrated at Kamikochi in recognition of his contribution to the conservation of the Northern Japan Alps. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamik%C5%8Dchi

Asakusa (浅草) es un distrito de Taitō, Tokio, Japón, el más famoso por el Sensō-ji, un templo budista dedicado al bodhisattva Kannon. Hay varios otros templos en Asakusa, así como varios festivales.
Durante la mayor parte del siglo XX, Asakusa fue el distrito de entretenimiento principal en Tokio. El rokku o "Sexto Distrito", fue famoso en particular como un distrito de teatros, con cines tan emblemáticos como el Denkikan. Los años dorados de Asakusa son vívidamente retratados en la novela de Yasunari Kawabata, La pandilla de Asakusa (1930). El área fue fuertemente dañada por los bombardeos estadounidenses durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en particular en el bombardeo de Tokio en marzo de 1945. El área fue reconstruida después de la guerra, pero ahora ha sido superada por Shinjuku y otras áreas coloridas en la ciudad, en su papel como un distrito de placer.
Asakusa se encuentra en la franja noreste del centro de Tokio, en el extremo oriental del metro de la Línea Ginza, aproximadamente 1,6 kilómetros al este del cruce principal del metro Ueno. Es central para el área coloquialmente referida como Shitamachi, que literalmente significa "ciudad baja", en referencia a la poca elevación de esta antigua parte de Tokio, a orillas del río Sumida. Como su nombre lo indica, el área tiene un ambiente japonés más tradicional que algunos otros barrios de Tokio.
Con tantas instituciones religiosas, es frecuente el matsuri (festivales sintoístas) en Asakusa, ya que cada templo o santuario es anfitrión de al menos un matsuri al año, si no cada temporada. El más grande y más popular es el Sanja Matsuri en mayo, cuando las carreteras están cerradas desde el amanecer hasta el anochecer.
En una ciudad donde hay muy pocos edificios de más de 50 años a causa de los bombardeos durante la guerra, Asakusa tiene una mayor concentración de edificios de los años 1950 y 1960 que en muchas otras áreas de Tokio. Están los tradicionales ryokan (casas de huéspedes), viviendas y pequeños edificios de apartamentos en todo el distrito.
De acuerdo con una tradición peculiar de Tokio, Asakusa alberga un cúmulo importante de tiendas de menaje doméstico en Kappabashi-dori, que es visitado por muchos habitantes de Tokio para los suministros esenciales.
Al lado de los jardines del templo de Senso-ji hay un pequeño parque de atracciones llamado Hanayashiki, que presume ser el parque de atracciones más antiguo de Japón. Los cines del barrio se especializan en mostrar películas clásicas japonesas, ya que muchos de los turistas son japoneses de edad avanzada.
Navegando al río Sumida se parte desde un muelle solo cinco minutos a pie desde el templo.
Asakusa es el distrito geisha más antiguo de Tokio, y todavía tiene 45 geishas trabajando activamente.
Debido a su ubicación colorida, las credenciales del centro, y el ambiente relajado por estándares de Tokio, Asakusa es una opción de alojamiento popular para los viajeros de presupuesto.
El barrio es famoso por su carnaval anual de estilo brasileño. Hay una importante presencia brasileña en la comunidad local y la Asociación de Escuelas de Samba de Asakusa está basada allí.

Asakusa (浅草) is a district in Taitō, Tokyo, Japan, famous for the Sensō-ji, a Buddhist temple dedicated to the bodhisattva Kannon. There are several other temples in Asakusa, as well as various festivals, such as the Sanja Matsuri.
The development of Asakusa as an entertainment district during the Edo period came about in part because of the neighboring district, Kuramae. Kuramae was a district of storehouses for rice, which was then used as payment for servants of the feudal government. The keepers (fudasashi) of these storage houses initially stored the rice for a small fee, but over the years began exchanging the rice for money or selling it to local shopkeepers at a margin. Through such trading, many fudasashi came to have a considerable amount of disposable income and as result theaters and geisha houses began to spring up in nearby Asakusa.
For most of the twentieth century, Asakusa remained a major entertainment district in Tokyo. The rokku or "Sixth District" was in particular famous as a theater district, featuring famous cinemas such as the Denkikan. The golden years of Asakusa are vividly portrayed in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (1930; English translation, 2005). The area was heavily damaged by US bombing raids during World War II, particularly the 10 March 1945 firebombing of Tokyo. The area was rebuilt after the war, but has now been surpassed by Shinjuku and other colorful areas in the city, in its role as a pleasure district.
Asakusa was a ward of Tokyo City. In 1947, when the city was transformed into a metropolis, it was merged with Shitaya to form the modern Taito ward. The former ward encompassed 19 neighborhoods in the eastern half of Taito.
Asakusa is on the north-east fringe of central Tokyo, at the eastern end of the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line subway, approximately one mile east of the major Ueno railway/subway interchange. It is central to the area colloquially referred to as Shitamachi, which literally means "low city," referring to the low elevation of this old part of Tokyo, on the banks of the Sumida River. As the name suggests, the area has a more traditionally Japanese atmosphere than some other neighborhoods in Tokyo do.
Asakusa has many restaurants and places to try traditional Japanese foods. One of the most popular treats is satsuma imo, sweet potatoes. Another special treat is chikuwa kamaboko, grilled fish cakes. The Suzuhiro store serves local craft beer with traditional kamaboko. Asakusa is also known for spices such as shichimi and sansho.
In a city where there are very few buildings older than 50 years because of the wartime bombing, Asakusa has a greater concentration of buildings from the 1950s and 1960s than most other areas in Tokyo do. There are traditional ryokan (guest-houses), homes, and small-scale apartment buildings throughout the district.
In keeping with a peculiarly Tokyo tradition, Asakusa hosts a major cluster of domestic kitchenware stores on Kappabashi-dori, which is visited by many Tokyoites for essential supplies. Next to the Sensō-ji temple grounds is a small amusement park called Hanayashiki, which claims to be the oldest amusement park in Japan. The neighborhood theaters specialize in showing classic Japanese films, as many of the tourists are elderly Japanese.
Cruises down the Sumida River depart from a wharf a five-minute walk from the temple.
Asakusa is Tokyo's oldest geisha district, and still has 45 actively working geisha.
Because of its colourful location, downtown credentials, and relaxed atmosphere by Tokyo standards, Asakusa is a popular accommodation choice for budget travelers.
The neighborhood is famous for its annual Brazilian style carnival. There is a significant Brazilian presence in the local community and the Association of Samba Schools of Asakusa is based there.
Although there are many festivals throughout the year in Asakusa, the most famous of them is the Sanja Matsuri, also known as Sanja Festival in May. In this festival, Mikoshi (portable shrines) and floats are pulled through the streets while loud shouts accompany them, and during the festival's 3 days, 1.5 million people come out to celebrate.
Leaving the Takayama Autumn Festival, I travelled further into the Japanese Northern Alps Region, and into the Chuba-Sangaku National Park. This image is of a typical sight as one hikes the Kappabashi Bridge Hike along the Asuza River.

合羽橋の七夕祭り
The Star Festival is derived from the legend of Vega and
the Altair,who are separated by the Milky Way.
The star festival will be held on July 7th.
On that day, we display bamboo grass with a strip of paper
and ornaments to celebrate their reunion.
When we write a wish to the strip of paper and display it,
it is said that a wish comes true.
