Houses blanketed in a soft layer of white ⛄️🇯🇵

#japantrip Embarking on my journey to Shirakawa in the heart of winter, I marveled at the deep, powdery snow enveloping the landscape. Planning my visit between December and February, I aimed to witness the village adorned in its pristine winter glory. As snow gently fell from late December to early March, Shirakawa-go transformed into a picturesque scene straight out of a fairytale. Against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains, the gassho style village emerged like a scene from a dream, its traditional houses blanketed in a soft layer of white. It was a breathtaking spectacle, a testament to the timeless allure of winter in Shirakawa.
