What are the floats in Takayama Japan?

The floats are lit by traditional lanterns and escorted on a tour of the city by people in traditional kimono or hakama. Each float reflects the district in Takayama to which it represents.
Is Hida Takayama worth visiting?
The short answer: Yes, Hida-takayama is worth visiting if you want a genuinely preserved Edo-period merchant town with excellent food and proper alpine scenery. But if you're on a tight first trip of seven to ten days, the travel time alone should give you pause.
