Return to Nagoya after the trip. Two days and one night, capturing the most exquisite beauty and creating lasting memories of autumn in Japan.
Shirakawa-go is surrounded by mountains and crisscrossed by rice paddies, with streams flowing through it, earning it the nickname "Kingdom of Forests and Streams." The village of Ogimachi in Shirakawa-go has the largest number of households among the three villages registered as World Heritage Sites (Shirakawa-go, Aikura of Gokayama, and Suganuma), with 152 households.
A colorful garden, with Gassho-style houses nestled among flowers, surrounded by lush green trees, and the outline of mountains faintly visible, creating a warm and harmonious feeling with nature.
The traditional Gassho-zukuri houses, surrounded by lush green rice paddies and distant mountains, evoke a sense of tranquility and nature. The blue sky and white clouds add a refreshing touch to the scene.
Every autumn, Shirakawa-go is ablaze with golden and fiery red hues as the mountains and forests turn golden. Ancient gassho-zukuri (traditional Japanese houses) stand quietly amidst rice paddies and autumn leaves, resembling a village straight out of a fairytale. Wisps of smoke rise from chimneys, streams murmur, and the gentle sunlight enhances the tranquility and warmth, making it one of the most captivating autumn scenes in Japan.
The Wada family home is the most representative Gassho-zukuri (south-sho) house in Shirakawa-go. Surrounded by autumn foliage, the old house and mountain scenery intertwine to create a gentle, timeless painting.
An ancient street lined with traditional Japanese wooden houses, the street exudes a strong historical atmosphere, giving people a feeling of stepping back in time.
