– About the Attraction | Shirakawa-go Gassho Village Day Trip –

▲Shirakawa-go Gassho Village
"Gassho" is a unique Japanese residential style featuring a thatched roof with a gable shape resembling two folded hands. Gassho houses are entirely made of wood, constructed without nails, yet offer exceptional strength. Not only are they unique in appearance, but they also prevent snow accumulation, preventing the roofs from collapsing under heavy winter snowfall. Every fifty to sixty years, the aging thatch of a Gassho-style house must be replaced, and any renovation requires the entire village's labor. Shirakawa-go was also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 9, 1995.

▲Hida Takayama Old Street
Takayama was the ancient capital of the Hida Mountain region, also known as the Daikanfu. Hida City and Takayama City are both in Gifu Prefecture, and due to their geographical proximity, they are often referred to as the Hida Takayama region. Takayama's old streets preserve traditional Edo-period architecture. The local feudal lords who built these wooden houses served the imperial family in Kyoto. Upon returning home, they yearned for the beauty of Kyoto and built a town in the Takayama area, rich in Kyoto's charm and culture. The preserved ancient buildings create a nostalgic, retro atmosphere, earning it the nickname "Hida's Little Kyoto."
