Shirakawa-go
Discover the enchanting Shirakawa-go Gassan Village, the third village in the region recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famed for its unique Gassho-zukuri thatched-roof architecture. Stroll through the village to see over 100 traditional Gassho-zukuri homes of varying sizes, many still inhabited, offering a living glimpse into Japan’s past. For an even richer experience, consider visiting the historic Kanda family home (tickets not included but highly recommended). Surrounded by serene streams and lush forests, the village’s natural beauty is breathtaking year-round, and if your visit aligns with the season, the limited winter illuminations add a magical glow to this timeless village.
