My favorite J-Pop song (& the theme of the trip)

We played the drum game at least three times to this AWEsome J-Pop song.  I love it and it’s the theme of the trip. 

Honorable mention goes to C’mon Baby America.   We first heard this gem at the Kanazawa marathon relay that threw a wrench in our plans (C’mon Japan, aren’t you skinny and fit enough).  Then we found the song on the drum game!  I was glad to see in the video that there is a special dance for the song, which is really named USA.

Takayama Folk Village and Cult Headquarters

Today started with a trip to the morning markets where you can sample the goodies!  We had Hida beef nigiri.  We bought an apple and a pear.    Then we headed to the Hida Folk Village.  Super views.  Then we visited what was described by our travel agency, Inside Japan, as a cult headquarters: The place is massive and they are building an even bigger shrine next door.  I don’t know where this place gets all it’s money.  There were only 2 other visitors there.  A huge koi aquarium inside and lots of red velvet and chandeliers.  I couldn’t take pics inside.  But outside there was a replica Mexican fountain They were very nice there and did not try to make us join their cult.  And they gave us a couple sips of sake on our way out.   Then we did a Shinto shrine and cemetery  And we visited a museum that had “retro” Japanese goodies from the 60s.  highlight:  playing vintage pachinko games!!!   Here are some...
