Shirakawago is widely-known as
one of the most scenic places in Japan. It is surrounded by
pine tree covered mountains, and it is located along the picturesque
Shokawa river. Besides the beautiful scenery, the unique Japanese
thatched-roof farmhouses are the center of attraction. There
are approximately 180 thatched farmhouses, sheds, and barns,
and most of them were built about 200-300 years ago. The residents
of Shirakawago still live in several small villages. The most
popular village for visitors is Ogimachi which in 1995 was
declared World Cultural and Heritage Site. Although it is
off the beaten track, Shirakawago is well worth the visit. Please note. All Minshuku (Japanese style farm house) only allow guests to stay a maximum of 1 night in each house. If you would like to stay 2 or more nights you will need stay each night in different houses.
