World Cultural Heritage, Shirakawa-go (Historic Village)
Visited Spot:Shirakawa-go (Historic Village)
I went to World Cultural Heritage, Shirakawa-go (Historic Village).
Shirakawa-go, a beautiful area where traditional Japanese scenery still exists, is home to the largest number of still-standing traditional “gassho-zukuri” Japanese homes. As of 2016, there are around 100 buildings still standing, both large and small. It is the largest remaining historic settlement in Japan, and it is preserved as a Group of Traditional Buildings in the register of Cultural Properties of Japan.
