A fairytale village straight out of a storybook, where time seems to stand still.

Tucked away in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa-go feels like stepping into another world. Its charming gassho-zukuri farmhouses, with steeply sloping thatched roofs resembling hands pressed together in prayer, create a picture-perfect scene against the surrounding mountain landscape.
