Shirakawa-go is a picturesque village located in the mountainous region of Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It’s famous for its traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, which have steep thatched roofs resembling hands in prayer. These unique houses were designed to withstand heavy snowfall and have been around for over 250 years1!
Shirakawa-go is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s a popular destination for tourists looking to experience Japan’s rich cultural history. The village of Ogimachi is the largest and main attraction in Shirakawa-go, and staying overnight in one of the farmhouses, which often serve as guesthouses, is a highly recommended experience1.
