Shirakawa-go is a Japanese mountain village that was once known as a secret place. This is because it is located in a natural environment of deep snow in the mountains, and communication with other regions is also limited. However, because of this, the unique technology and culture nurtured in Shirakawa-go are also deeply rooted here, exuding a cultural and traditional atmosphere.

In winter, Shirakawa-go is like a fairyland with its snow-covered ground and thatched houses piled with snow.

The most distinctive feature here is the unique Gassho-style house, which is famous for its steep thatched roof. It is also called "praying hands" because of its appearance similar to the action of putting your hands together in prayer. In Gassho Village, you can see more than 110 Gassho-style houses, some of which are even more than 250 years old!

The winter limited lighting event will only be held 4 times this year, which is a very rare experience.

From a fairytale perspective, you can see Shirakawa-go, which is piled up like a snow blanket, twinkling with lights at night. It is a rare experience in life.

After lighting up, Shirakawa-go looks like a beautiful fairy tale town.
