I visited Shirakawa-go when it is lit up only four times a year. In 2025, it will only be four times in January and February. It will probably be held several times at the same time next year. Normally, it is only a daytime sightseeing, but this time of year, I was able to enjoy Shirakawa-go at night! After traveling along the mountain path for about an hour by bus from Hida Takayama, a village with thatched roofs suddenly appeared! Because it was the snowy season, a view I had never seen before spread out before me. It was a hidden place, and I was very impressed because I don't usually see such a view✨ I think you can go around the whole place in about three hours and enjoy a meal🥰 First of all, there were many Japanese people, but there were also many foreign tourists. By the way, there are still residents living there. It's a World Heritage Site that you should visit at least once! 📍Location: Ogimachi, Shirakawa-mura, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture #0 yen travel #Shirakawa-go #World Heritage Site #Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Gassho-style Villages #Gifu Prefecture

"Shirakawago Pudding House" is a famous pudding specialty store located in the World Heritage site of Shirakawago. They sell the pudding that won the first Japan Pudding Award Grand Prix! It's a water pudding😍 It's a pudding that uses the clean spring water of Shirakawago, so I was curious about it and bought one🥰 It's a fusion of the refreshing water pudding and the moist regular pudding, and it was very delicious! It looks kind of stylish😎 There are many overseas customers, so there is a line, so if you want to buy one, it might be better to go early. 📍Location: 702 Ogimachi, Shirakawa-mura, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture #0 yen trip #Shirakawago Pudding House #Shirakawago #World Heritage Site #Pudding #Gifu Prefecture

📍Location: Gifu It's closer to Nagoya than Tokyo It's a traditional gassho-style building. It's beautiful when it snows. In summer, there's rice🌾, which is a different kind of beauty from winter. Shirakawa-go also has a lot of tourists, so it's recommended to go early in the morning. There were several restaurants in the Shirakawa-go area where you can eat while walking around. There were also souvenir shops. If you walk from Shirakawa-go towards the mountain, there is a hilltop where you can see Shirakawa-go from the mountain, so if you visit there and take a photo, you can take a beautiful picture. Visiting the townscape of Hida Takayama, which is a little away from Shirakawa-go, is also a good sightseeing spot. #Spring0yentrip #Shirakawa-go #HidaTakayama

The period we went was winter with heavy snow and rainy season with thick fog, each period gives a different feeling. Walking around the village of Shirakawa-go, you will see the simple way of life of the villagers who still preserve their culture and traditions very well.

There is a village registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It is called Shirakawago, a village with a Gassho-zukuri roof. ;) You can see the village covered in snow from mid-December to the end of February. I visited Shirakawago through a Gifu bus tour! I wanted to go up to the observatory, but I gave up due to the tour time and focused on sightseeing around the neighborhood (tour time 1 hour 45 minutes) If I get a chance later, I want to go up to the observatory again There was so much snow that the neighborhood itself felt like a fairy tale world Seeing the snow piled up as high as me was on my bucket list, and I achieved it here (6-7, 11th photo📷) The snow piled up on the roof was so pretty, and the fact that it was shaped like sushi because there was so much snow piled up was cute (9th photo📷) It was a place that was healing just by walking around. Just let me live here~~~🙏 The melted snow turned into water and flowed, and even that was so pretty (16-17th photo📷) You can take a great picture no matter where you take it, so be sure to bring a spare battery and take a lot of pretty pictures😎 ※I went there in early March, so the snow started to melt little by little So sometimes the snow piled up on the roof falls, Be careful of your head! 📍Shirakawago 〒501-5627 Shirakawa Village, Ono County, Kiyomizu Prefecture #Winter travel #Japan #Japan travel #Climate #Climate travel #Shirakawago #Shirakawago

#0yentripFebruary2025 Visited around October. About 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from Gifu city. Shirakawa-go is famous in winter, but the autumn scenery is just as beautiful. The ears of rice shining gold just before harvest. On a clear day, the contrast of blue and gold combined with the cosmos will leave you impressed by the richness of nature. The observation deck overlooking the Shirakawa-go Gassho-style village is also a must-see. Even in this season, you will walk so much that you will sweat, so I recommend wearing comfortable clothes. There are souvenir shops, so be sure to stop by and take a look. #Shirakawa-go #Gassho-style #Gassho-style village #Gifu city #Gifu sightseeing #Chubu sightseeing #Nature

The first trip of the new year is to Shirakawa-go! ! When you think of Shirakawa-go, many people think of the Gassho-style houses. However, the surrounding nature and the flow of the river also give you a sense of the tranquility and beauty that is unique to winter. The river seen from the bridge is a crystal clear blue, and combined with the snowy scenery, it looks like a painting! ! In the quiet air of the historic village, I was able to savor the beginning of the new year. 🥰 How about spending some time with your loved ones in a calm atmosphere? #0 yen trip February 2025 # domestic travel # domestic travel # Shirakawa-go # new year trip # winter scenery

Shirakawa-go in winter is an attractive tourist destination in the snowy scenery❄️ Here is some tourist information for visiting Shirakawa-go in winter, which is full of such charm✨ 🏠About Gassho-zukuri Village Shirakawa-go is famous for its distinctive "Gassho-zukuri houses"! Gassho-zukuri is an architectural style with steep roofs that is adapted to areas where snow easily accumulates! In winter, snow accumulates on these houses, creating a landscape that looks like a painting. In particular, the "thatched roof houses" in the village are a valuable place where you can experience the traditional lifestyle◎ 🚗How to get there 1. Private car Due to the heavy snowfall in winter, it is recommended to use a vehicle equipped with studless tires. It is about 2 to 3 hours by car from Nagoya or Toyama 2. Public transport Buses are available from Nagoya and Takayama. In particular, there is a "direct bus to Shirakawa-go". In winter, there is little traffic, so it is important to check the timetable and operation status in advance☝️ Be careful because it was quite crowded just before! 🧣Notes about clothing Shirakawa-go is very cold in winter, so you need to take sufficient measures to protect yourself from the cold☝️ Cold weather clothing: It is good to wear something that is highly cold-resistant, such as a down jacket! Chesterfield coats may be tough unless you wear thick clothes underneath🥶 Gloves, hat, scarf: Hands, ears, and necks tend to get cold easily, so it is recommended to protect yourself from the cold! Heat packs are also very helpful! Waterproof shoes: Snow and ice can make it slippery, so it is safe to wear shoes that are waterproof and have anti-slip properties! By the way, when I went there, it was so slippery that someone at a tourist spot slipped and broke a bone and had to be taken away by ambulance😰 Warm innerwear: If you absolutely cannot wear down, it is effective to wear heat tech or fleece innerwear in layers! 🍽️About Restaurants There are fewer tourists in winter, so restaurants may close early, especially on weekdays! We recommend checking opening hours in advance and eating early☝️ ❄️About Observatories and Light-ups 1. Observatory Shirakawa-go has several observation decks that overlook the entire village. In particular, the "Shirakawa-go Observatory" offers a wonderful view of the snow-covered Gassho-style village🥹❄️ The snow scenery is beautiful in winter, and it is also perfect for photography◎ 2. Light-up The "Shirakawa-go Light-up" held on winter nights is a particularly popular tourist spot. At night, the snow-covered Gassho-style houses are fantastically lit up, creating a fairy-tale-like landscape. The light-up event is usually held between December and February, and the most beautiful time is mid-January. ⚠️Reservations are required to see the light-up from the observation deck! It sells out pretty quickly, so if you want to go, you'll need to check when the tickets go on sale and prepare several months in advance! Or, you can join a tour or a hotel plan that includes tickets ☝️ Shirakawa-go in winter is a place where you can enjoy the wonderful scenery of snow and historical buildings, and you can see a spectacular view that is typical of Japan! Please go and check it out! #Seasonal places in Japan #Shirakawa-go #Amazing view

📍Gifu | Shirakawa Village Shirakawa-go covered in snow is just too beautiful. I used to think that getting to Shirakawa-go from Tokyo was quite a challenge, but did you know there's a bus that gets you there in just over an hour from Kanazawa?! So, even if you can't stay overnight in Shirakawa-go, you can use Kanazawa as a base and make a day trip out of it. Suddenly, Shirakawa-go feels much closer. You can only see the night illuminations if you stay overnight or make a reservation in advance, but if you just want to enjoy it during the day, it's a quick trip.

The Wada House in the Gassho-style Village of Shirakawa-go This building is a designated Important Cultural Property of Japan. It is said to be the largest house in the Gassho-style village. It is called the Wada House because the Wada family lives there... The house is divided into an area open to the public and a living space. The Wada family still live there, and part of it is open to the public. There are areas in the building that are off-limits. There are signs posted, so please do not open them by mistake! We toured the house, grateful that the living space is open to the public. The house introduces the history of the Gassho-style village, the history of the Wada family, and their collection. There is a hearth and tools that were used in the past. It was very interesting. The view from the Wada House was also beautiful 🙌 Looking at the Gassho-style houses visible from the second floor, it felt like I was entering a world of photographs. I'm glad I was able to visit! 📍: Wada Family ⏰: 9:00am - 5:00pm 💰: 400 yen for adults (junior high school students and above), 200 yen for children *Payment by cash only* 📝: The number of people allowed in the building is adjusted accordingly.

UNESCO World Heritage Site [Shirakawa-go] Shirakawa-go, where the Gassho-style villages are built close together in one of Japan's heaviest snowfall areas, is easily accessible and is a popular tourist destination visited by many foreign visitors. 💡 Shirakawa-go, covered in snow, is pure white wherever you look. ✨ At the Kanda House, you can go inside and see where they made ensho, and at the Shirakawa-go Tajima Family Silkworm Exhibition Hall, you can see how silkworms were mainly raised as a home industry in the attic of the Gassho-style house. You can see that the Gassho-style house is being used for practical purposes by making use of the attic. ⭐️ We went to the observation deck, looked at souvenirs, and had a fulfilling time. ♪ It started to get quiet around 5pm and it suddenly felt lonely, so I recommend arriving early. 📍Location: Ogimachi, Shirakawa-mura, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture #Shirakawa-go #Gifu #World Heritage #Gifu Trip #0 Yen Trip November

Located near the border with Ishikawa Prefecture, Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site and Gifu's treasure, is a charming village with houses called gassho-zukuri that still exist. 📷 The townscape, which feels like a time slip, is wonderful, and in winter, the atmosphere is even more impressive when it is covered in deep snow. ⤴️ At its peak, the snow can reach nearly 2 meters. 😲 There are many picturesque places to stroll around the village! In addition, the Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory, located on high ground, is a popular spot where you can overlook the village, so don't forget to check it out. ☝️ It is a bit difficult to access by car in winter, but there are direct express buses from Nagoya, Kanazawa, and Toyama, and there are also buses from Takayama. 🚍 #Snowscape2024 #100TravelStyles #DomesticTravel #GifuPrefecture #Hida #Shirakawa-go #WorldHeritage #Gassho-zukuri #Winter #WinterStunningViews

This is a Gassho-style house in Shirakawa-go that you can enter. It is located close to the Shirakawa-go Bus Terminal, and the entrance fee is 400 yen. Originally used as a residence, the interior offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the time.

Shirakawa-go, registered as a World Heritage site, is one of Japan's most famous heavy snowfall areas. Until recently, it was considered a hidden gem of Japan due to its harsh climate and environment. For four long months, the residents of this region endure heavy snowfall while living in traditional gassho-zukuri houses. While it is a popular spot visited by many tourists during the day, the limited-time winter night illuminations offer a magical scenery that cannot be seen during the day. This special event is eagerly anticipated by many every year. For more detailed information, please check the Shirakawa-go Tourism Association's website. You can access Shirakawa-go by Nohi Bus from Kanazawa or Takayama. During the tourist season, it gets very crowded, so it is recommended to make reservations early.

I went to Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site. It was many times more beautiful than it looks in photos. Once you see the unique Gassho-style houses, you can't get them out of your head! The origin of the name Gassho-style is that the shape seen from the outside looks like hands clasped together, so it came to be called "Gassho" style. (There are various theories) I would like to recommend the observation deck to everyone. Of course, it is beautiful to see the village from the ground, but it is even more beautiful from above. You can look down on the whole of Shirakawa-go. You can look at the fantastic scenery forever lol It is also very popular as a photo spot! When I went, it was autumn, but I would like to go in other seasons as well. #Gifu #GifuTrip #Shirakawa-go #HongKongFreeAirTicket
