We embarked on a day tour from Takayama. Leading the itinerary is Ainokura historical village in the Gokayama region. Ainokura gassho-zukuri village is known for it’s traditional architectural style. Most of the houses here are more than 300 years old. There are residents living here. To be considerate, we kept our volume down when appreciating the architecture and beauty of its location in the alps. Visitors can opt to check out the museums to learn more on the culture as well.
Then, off we go to Shirakawago in Gifu Prefecture. Both of these villages are recognised as World Unesco Heritage sites. How amazing to retain these traditional Japanese villages functional in this day and age.
We were delighted to enjoy a wholesome lunch from resources from Shirakawa-go. Tofu is one of the famous dishes we love.
Do plan ahead on transport needs before the trip. You can get to Shirakawa-go by driving or riding a public bus.
In the coming video, you will see the beauty of Shirakawa-go. It is renowned for it’s traditional Japanese farmhouses (gassho). It is such a privilege to tour these houses and get so up close with the residents.
