Takayama Autumn Festival Schedule? 2012/8/19 14:30
I was wondering what the schedule of events was for the Takayama Festival? What happens at what time on Oct. 9 vs Oct. 10? I know there's an evening procession on Oct. 9, but are there different activities or performances during the day on the 9th vs the 10th?

I am mainly wondering if we stay in Takayama all day Oct. 9, if we will miss anything Oct. 10 by going to Furukawa or Shirakawa-go?

Thanks!

I too have the same doubt. I'll be staying in Kyoto during that week and was planning on a day trip to Takayama on Oct 9th or 10th.

Anyone has an idea of the festival schedule during those days? Thanks
