In northwestern Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa-go is known for its gassho-style houses, designed for large families. Surrounded by mountains, this village, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1995, features homes built to endure heavy snowfall, preserving a unique cultural heritage.
■Wada House: The largest gassho-style house in Ogimachi, a designated Important Cultural Property, with the first and second floors open to the public.
■Kanda House: Features a remarkable internal structure that took about 10 years to complete, including a gunpowder-making area.
■Nagase House: A five-story gassho-style house displaying a 500-year-old Buddhist altar and traditional tools.
■Myosenji Temple Folk Museum: A unique temple with a thatched roof on all main structures.
■Tajima House Sericulture Museum: The village's only museum focused on sericulture.
■Spring: The village comes alive with cherry blossoms and fresh greenery, offering a picturesque landscape against the backdrop of traditional gassho-style houses.
■Summer: Lush greenery envelops the area, providing a vibrant contrast to the rustic architecture, and the fields are full of life.
■Autumn: Late October to early November brings beautiful autumn colors, with the first frost and snowfall appearing in November.
■Winter: Shirakawa-go, at the foot of Mount Hakusan, is blanketed in snow from December to February, creating a magical white landscape.
Lunch is not included, so please feel free to enjoy whatever you like on your own.
*Note: Photos are for illustrative purposes only.
Gokayama, in Toyama Prefecture, consists of 40 small villages, with Ainokura and Suganuma registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites since 1995. Less commercialized than Shirakawa-go, it offers a more rustic and tranquil mountain village experience with unique gassho-style houses.
