Tentang lokasi ini: Shirakawa-go
Shirakawa-go adalah desa UNESCO dengan rumah petani gassho-zukuri («tangan berdoa»). Atap jerami curam 60 derajat menahan salju berat dan dulu menampung keluarga multi-generasi. Iluminasi musim dingin terbatas dan memerlukan reservasi.
Sorotan utama
- Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory — the classic vantage overlooking the entire village; reach by 20-minute walk or shuttle bus; snowy mornings are peak
- Gassho-zukuri Folk Park — 26 relocated and preserved gassho farmhouses with interior tours, including the silkworm-rearing attic spaces
- Myozen-ji — the village's only gassho-zukuri temple, with the 1827 main hall and a rare gassho bell tower
- Wada Family House — a nationally designated Important Cultural Property over 300 years old; interior tours reveal the gassho structure
- Winter illumination — held on about six dates each January–February; the snow-and-light scene is dreamlike and requires advance reservation
