Shirakawa-go boasts five Gassho-style villages, each retaining the original appearance of a settlement. 113 Gassho-style wooden houses remain intact today. The village hosts a regular winter illumination festival, attracting visitors from home and abroad. Strolling along the snow-covered trails creates an unforgettable fairytale-like scene. As night falls, the dazzling lights illuminate the darkness, bringing a touch of warmth and peace to visitors in the cold winter. The dreamlike scenery is truly captivating.

Hida Takayama is a town renowned for its rich history, preserving a richly Japanese streetscape. Its woodcarving has long been a leading specialty in Japan. Temples in Kyoto, Nara, and other areas are largely the work of Hida artisans, and this tradition remains enduring today. A visit to Takayama offers the opportunity to experience the charm of the ancient capital while appreciating the art and culture created by traditional artisans.
