|The fairy tale snow scene of Shirakawa-go, more beautiful than Hokkaido. Shirakawa-go Gassho Village is located in the northwest of Japan in Gifu Prefecture Only nine households live here It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site in 1995 ... It is said that in order to make the snow in winter easy to slide off, the roof is built at an inclined angle, It looks like the shape of clasped hands, so it's called Gassho Village So, be careful when taking pictures of the snow on the roof and trees, it's really easy to get hit!! Don't ask me how I know... Transportation The best way to reach Shirakawa-go is by self-driving, the scenery along the way is very beautiful. °Winter activities Every January and February is the Shirakawa-go Lighting Festival, an annual event in Japan's winter, only 6 days a year! Friends with plenty of time must stay for a day, it is said that the whole village will turn into the scene from Hayao Miyazaki's animation.
