Shirakawa-go at Golden Week
By Cathy Cawood
There were many pretty little flowers blooming in Shirakawa-go in late May: marguerite, clematis, spirea, iris, and others. They were swinging along in the soft breeze. Walking around the paths, I sometimes stopped and listened to a variety of sounds of nature: the murmur of flowing water, the ting-a-ling of wind chimes, the comfortable sound of a nice mixture of soft breeze and the music of birds. When the wind comes, the sky of the mirror image on water-filled rice fields slightly vibrated. I had fun walking in the beautiful sunshine and fresh green in the afternoon.
