Shirakawa-go is a charming mountainous region in Japan known for its traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, which have steep thatched roofs resembling hands in prayer. These unique houses are designed to withstand heavy snowfall during winter and provide a glimpse into the region's rich history. Visitors can explore the largest village, Ogimachi, or opt for a more intimate experience in the smaller villages of Gokayama. Staying overnight in one of the farmhouses is a popular way to fully immerse oneself in the area's culture and beauty.
