Funny town name. Gero. It's also a Japanese slang term for puking. (thanks mitsu for the vocab that i won't learn in class)
In Takayama. They tie up the trees like this so that the snow will not break off the branches. Looks like a lot of work.
Sake we drank in Shirakawa Go. It was darker in color than most Sake I've had, but was very good.
