[Gifu/Shirakawa-go] The World Heritage Gassho-style houses are also great in the summer!

#TravelWithMe #0YenTravel The Ogimachi district of Shirakawa Village, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture, is known as a community where over 100 Gassho-style houses of various sizes remain and where people still live their lives. In 1995, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, receiving high praise not only for its buildings and scenery but also for the mutual support among residents that is rooted in the community. It's like a "Japanese hometown" where you can deeply experience the rural culture, lifestyle and living that is the original landscape of Japan. By the way, the roof structure of Gassho-style houses does not use a single nail, but is secured with strong ropes, which creates flexibility to withstand the weight of snow and strong winds, and is said to increase the durability of the house.
