Shirakawa-go in Snow

Magnificent view seen from Shiroyama Observation Deck

On February 9th, the last day of my visit to Gassho Villages, I was in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture, which is the most popular World Heritage Site in Japan.

Since Shirakawa-go is well equipped with commercial facilities and hotels, Shirakawa-go is usually full of tourists from all over the world. I myself was just looking forward to seeing the scenery with an atmosphere of old-time Japan. When I visited here last time I was a bit disappointed by the huge crowds. This time my sole purpose was to see this beautiful Gassho village covered in snow from Shiroyama Observation Deck.
