Hida Takayama’s old town preserves the charm of an Edo-period castle town, with wooden machiya houses lining the Sanmachi streets. Lattice windows, flowing canals, and soft morning or sunset light create a timeless atmosphere, where craftsmanship and the scent of sake reflect the town’s quiet elegance.
Shirakawa-go feels like a storybook village nestled in the mountains. Its gassho-zukuri farmhouses shine through every season—cherry blossoms, summer greenery, autumn leaves, and winter snow—while clear streams and surrounding hills create a serene harmony with nature.

The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses
Shirakawa-go is surrounded by mountains, crisscrossed with rice fields, and blessed with clear streams that gently flow through the village, earning it the nickname “the kingdom of forests and rivers.”
Ogimachi, the main village of Shirakawa-go, is the largest among the three UNESCO World Heritage villages—Shirakawa-go, Ainokura, and Suganuma in Gokayama—with a total of 152 households. The name “Shirakawa-go” originates from the milky-white waters formed when the Daihakugawa River, flowing from the sacred Mount Hakusan, merges with the Shogawa River and turns cloudy white.
Located in the northeastern part of Ogimachi Gassho Village, Shiroyama Observatory offers a panoramic view of the entire village, with its iconic thatched-roof farmhouses set against the majestic backdrop of Mount Hakusan stretching into the distance.
