It's amazing to hear about Shirakawago, located in Gifu Prefecture. It's not just a beautiful spot, but it offers so much more. The village's Gassho-style houses, with over 100 buildings of this style still standing, are truly remarkable. I enjoyed the experience the traditional Japanese scenery and rural ways of life there. The rich history of the area dating back to 7000 B.C. is truly awe-inspiring. The iconic gassho-style houses with their large thatched roofs resembling hands joined in prayer are such a beautiful representation of the village's unique culture.

Shirakawa-go in Shirakawa Village, Gifu Prefecture, which is registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site. View of gassho-zukuri and autumn leaves seen from the observatory. This photo was taken on 2022/11/9. There is fun in every season here, but the season of autumn leaves was also very great. Gassho-zukuri and autumn leaves were everywhere as photo spots. It is a very recommended place during the autumn foliage season, which is easy to move.

Shot in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture. My dream is to take pictures of the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, and this is my first time visiting it. Here are the best shots I took while desperately trying to warm up in Cairo in sub-zero temperatures! The electricity in the room where you can feel the activities of people overflows from the window. Streetlights reflecting off the snow. Snow continues to fall. I'm very satisfied to be able to take a photo that looks like it appeared in an old story!

Shirakawago / Gifu Shirakawago / Gifu I visited with my family last summer. I took my breath away at the overwhelming presence of gassho-zukuri、、! Next time, I would ? like to see the simultaneous water discharge training in autumn and the snowy scenery in winter. Also, when you pass through the torii gate of the nearby Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine, the air changes completely and you are enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. Please come and visit us! I visited with my family last summer. The overwhelming presence of the gassho-zukuri took my breath away...!! I would like to visit again in the fall for the simultaneous water discharge drill and in the winter for the snowy scenery ?. When you pass through the torii gate of the nearby Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine , The atmosphere changes dramatically and you are enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. I encourage you all to visit!

The Choja Bridge and pleasure boats of the Shogawa Gorge. I took this photo in time with the sightseeing boat that departs at 9 o'clock in the morning. If you come from the Toyama side, you can go to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama after sightseeing in Shogawakyo, so it is definitely recommended for car travel. It was also very refreshing to drive along the river road towards the next destination, Shirakawa-go. It was snowing the day before, so I thought there would be a little more snowfall, but it's quite difficult.
