Shirakawa-gō (白川郷), formally Shirakawa-mura (白川村), is a historic village in Gifu. Together with Gokayama in Toyama, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on December 9, 1995.
The village is famous for its farmhouses, which are built in a unique architectural style known as gasshō (合掌). The name means hands together as in prayer, referring to the steep roofs that keep the snow off in the winter. Underneath the roofs, the large attic area was used to house silkworms.
Another feature which has brought fame to the village is the recent Japanese game series 'Higurashi no Naku Koro ni' (2002) and the anime series that followed. Although the village residents are not too altogether thrilled that an anime series depicting large levels of violence has based itself on their village, it has brought the tourists none-the-less. A number of locations from the anime series can be visited in Shirakawa; the most prevalent site being the Hachiman Shrine, the site where the shrine maiden Rika Furude met an unfortunate end and also the major shrine of the village.
Japan Alps, Gassho Villages and Gardens.- with JR Pass.
Spring of 2015.
A new convenient shinkansen connecting Tokyo to Kanazawa in just 3 hours enabled us to make this trip to the Unesco Heritage Gassho villages of Gokayama and Shirakawago.
End April was the openingt of the snow corridor (Yuki-no Otani) in Murado_ along the popular Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route involving 6 different types of transportation across the Japan Alps.
Matsumoto Castle, in Matsumoto city in Nagano Prefecture, is among Japan's oldest and most beautiful castles and along with Hikone Castle, Himeji Castle and Inuyama Castle, is designated as a National Treasure. Matsumoto Castle is one of Japan's only twelve completely original castles
Kusatsu Onsen town was chosen as it was voted the top onsen resort in Japan. There is symbolic facility called Yubatake (Hot water field) in the town centre which is one of the resort’s main sources of hot spring water. The water at 90 deg C is cooled by paddles manually.
Spring was the cherry blossom season.
Although we were late for the yustino cherry blossoms , we saw other blossoms and we lucky to see the wisteris in full bloom.
The shibazakura or pink phlox was only 50 percent bloomed but enough to give us some spectacular pictures with Mount Fuji in the background.
Ogimachi, a aldeia de Shirakawa-gô
No blog:
Patrimônio Mundial pela Unesco desde 1995, Ogimachi, a aldeia localizada em Shiragawa-gô, na província de Gifu é famosa pelas arquiteturas rústicas de suas casas, denominada gasshô-zukuri. Gasshô é a posição das mãos em forma de oração. Gasshô-zukuru significa construído como mãos em oração.Os telhados das casas tem o formato de A para melhor escoar a neve. Além disso, elas são forradas com palhas de arroz para proteger tanto do frio, quanto do calor.
Shirakawa-mura ou Shirakawa Village é bela em todas as estações do ano, mas o período que mais chama a atenção dos turistas é durante o inverno, quando a neve cai, tornando uma das mais belas paisagens.

World Heritage Site Shirakawa-go Promotional Video -musubu-A
Gifu Prefecture’s Shirakawa Village is located in the approximate center of the Japanese archipelago. In 1995, this small village, surrounded by mountains, achieved global recognition when it became a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site. The primary subject of this status is the gassho style residences and the lifestyles lived within them. People once again considered the wisdom of a culture of communal living, for survival in a harsh natural environment.
Gassho (praying hands) style houses were thus named because the shape of the large thatched roofs resembles the shape formed by people’s hands when offering prayers to the gods. No nails are used in their construction. The joints between timbers are secured only with ropes and vines, but have proven strong enough to endure hundreds of years of winds and snowfall. Just like the gassho style houses, the villagers themselves live hand in hand, bound together by the strong culture and enduring lifestyle.
Here, various aspects of life that the Japanese hold dear to their hearts are bound up together, and an irreplaceable landscape remains to this day.
Please come and make your own connection with Shirakawa-go.

JAPAN Gero Onsen Gassho Village (Gassho Mura)
At Gero Onsen Gassho-mura, 10 gassho-zukuri (thatched) houses have been transferred from places like Shirakawa-go to form a precious outdoor museum which recreates a mountain settlement from former times, and offers a glimpse into what life might have been like for its inhabitants. Among the structures transferred is the Odo House, a nationally designated Important Tangible Folk Cultural Property.
The village is also home to the Iwasaki House (a folk museum) and the Toyama House with Itakura storehouse. Both of these nationally registered Tangible Cultural Properties are open to the public.
Other attractions include workshops where you can try your hand at making ceramic art, patterned washi (Japanese paper) and other traditional crafts, a restaurant where you can savor the flavors of Hida, and Saijiki no Mori, a forest of Japanese cherry blossom and maple trees on a hill overlooking the village. Gassho-mura is a warm and friendly village with a heart, where the simple spirit of the people of Hida lives on.
