The iconic Gassho-zukuri houses are characterized by their steep "hands in prayer" style roofs, built without nails using local wood and straw. This design allows heavy snow to slide off easily.

These houses are sturdy structures crafted from natural materials, built to withstand the harsh, snowy climate.
