Shirakawago is a small village in one of Gifu prefecture’s many valleys. The site is best known for its amazing handmade “gassho-zukuri” buildings. Shirakawago receives an abundance of snow during the winter months and these residences were specifically engineered to shrug off heavy snowfall. If you’re looking to see a glimpse of what traditional life in Japan used to be like, there are few better spots than Shirakawago.
