This area has some liquor factories.
Takayama Liquor Sake factory sightseeing is held from Jan 17 to Feb 27.

Kawajiri Sake factory is a handmade Sake factory since 1839.
Sake aging is usually 3 or 6 months, but this factory is 1 year.

This factort's Sake is mild and deep.

Around this area has lots of snow about 50cm snow height.

Ruins of a Takayama castle is a small mountain.
I climb deep snow. Suddenly I saw a Capricornis crispus, only 5m distance.
Capricornis crispus is cute face.

I climbed at Honmaru, Ninomaru.
They are coverd with deep snow.
We can see a wonderful Takayama city view.
Takayama castle was a big castle at early of Edo period.
But keeping this castle needs lots of money, so it is broken at middle of Edo period.
I hope this castle rebuilding.
