Kia ora and hello everyone!

A few weeks ago, while exploring the rural country-side parts of Gifu, I went to Shirakawa-go!

I remember learning about this UNESCO world-heritage site back when I was in high school in New Zealand and discovered my best-friend was from Gifu! I naively thought that she must visit this place all the time (despite it being a 4 hour drive from her house).

I finally got the chance to go, and it was so beautiful! Full of beautiful heritage houses, stunning nature, and delicious food – I had the best time and can’t wait to go back one day!

Have you been?
