Winter Destinations in Gifu Japan
Blog|更新日:2021年1月1日/金曜日
Shirakawago has been among the must-visits in Japan for foreign tourists over decades. The small village is located in the deep mountainous area with a number of traditional Japanese houses and buildings in great condition. The peaceful landscape takes you back to the old Japan, with the green rice field in summer and a world of white in winter.
Gassho-zukuri refers to a traditional architectural style of houses typical to the village. The steep thatched roof prevents the houses from collapsing because of the heavy snowfall. Some of the houses are currently used as inns, which brings you a special experience. If you are a fan of winter, you should check this place out.
