Have you been humming and hawing about a trip to Japan (off the beaten path)? One stop on the route is Shirakawa-go. Stepping into this place is almost like walking into a fairy tale with its quaint villages, restaurants and guest houses for visitors. The homes here are all built with thatched roofs to endure the heavy winter snowfall, which can get up to an average of 10m. One visit to rural Japan will almost make you forget about the big city life.

Alo Japan.
