Private Shirakawa Go Tour

Shirakawa-go is nestled in the remote mountains of Gifu Prefecture. With Shogawa River Valley as its immediate neighbor, this historic region has several points of interests. Being a UNESCO World Heritage site makes Shirakawa-go especially alluring if you wish to delve into Japan’s ancient culture. Dotted with 250-year old traditional gassho-zukuri (vernacular farmhouses) and stores that cultivate silkworms, the region is a beautiful testament to the old way of life in rural Japan. Shirakawa-go receives heavy snowfall during winters, which sprinkles extra enchantment. Visit Ogimachi Village, one of Shirakawa-go’s largest historic villages, during a winter weekend when the streets are especially lit up at night to highlight the magical sight of quaint, snow-laden roof.
