Takayama festival in central Japan

Tourists watch a string-pulled mechanical doll dancing on a float in tune with drums and flutes during the first day of the two-day Spring Takayama Festival in the Gifu Prefecture city of Takayama, central Japan, on April 14, 2022. The annual festival, on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list, was held on a regular basis for the first time in three years as major events, including dancing by the doll, were canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
