Places to visit

A decoration looks like a “Chonmage” (a topknot) on the roof of an old house standing in the area where it looks like one of the scenes from once-upon-a-time story.

This decoration used to symbolize that residents of this place were really Samurais (Japanese warriors).

It might be a pride of Samurais who lived in the shadows in the mountain village.

I was at “Senkono Ie” in Sakai city in Fukui prefecture.
