Japan Adventure

Beautiful carp banners represent upcoming Children's Day on May 5th during Golden Week Holidays - a week-long series of National Holidays in Japan. Similar to US Spring Break . . .


The number of carp flags represent the number of boys in a household & the larger the carp, the older the child.


We've passed many homes with colorful carp banners flying today!


Aha! Finally -there's the sign for Tsuwano Town . . . We've enjoyed a beautiful drive along the Nishiki River and many small villages through the mountains this morning.


I remember the turquoise blue bridge! We're getting closer . . .
