Overview
-
On this tour, you can explore Shirakawa-go, a village with beautiful scenery reminiscent of the past.
Shirakawago is the village with beautiful scenery that is reminiscent of olden times. The village contains 114 thatched roofed gassho style houses and was designated as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1995, as the houses are still used in real life. They are called gassho style houses because the steep triangular roof, unique to the heavy snowfall area, resembles "gassho" (hands meeting in prayer). Throughout the year the highly picturesque landscape, as the representative tourist spot of Japan, attracts many tourists from Japan and abroad.
You can also take a walk through the castle town of Takayama City.
As an alpine castle town, Mimachi-dori is designated as a national important building of traditional buildings and is a popular tourist spot.
