Sightseeing Spot in This Area

Located in the northwestern part of Gifu prefecture, Shirakawa Village was once said to be an unexplored region as one of the heaviest snowfall areas in Japan. Ogimachi area where you can see Gassho-style houses in such a heavy snowfall environment, was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1995 as “Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama”. Known as a world-famous tourist destination, this place is said to be “the original scenery of Japan”. Once you step into it, you feel a nostalgic atmosphere, and in winter you can see a magnificent view surrounded by snow.
