One of the unexpected highlights of my Hokuriku Shinkansen trip to some of Japan's less-visited regions has been a small gallery in a tiny town.
The Mino Washi Akari Art Gallery in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture, hosts a superb exhibition of lanterns made from local paper.
These lanterns are used in a local festival held each autumn and represent stunning artistry.
All these images were taken with my iPhone but I hope they give you some idea of how impressive these illuminated lanterns are.

regional Japan to overseas visitors.
