Shirakawago

Visiting Wada House in Shirakawago is like stepping back in time! It's this gassho-zukuri farmhouse that was turned into a museum about the rural life in that village. If you love Japanese culture and history, you’ve got to visit Shirakawago. I gotta tell you, the village looks straight outta a fairytale. The roof is covered in thatched straw and the wooden beams are sturdy. Inside, you'll find all these cool old artifacts and antique furniture from the Wada family. It's like they froze time! But wait, it gets better. The surroundings are so stunning! Imagine going there in winter when everything's covered in fluffy white snow. It's like a dreamland. I visited in May, so it was all green, but the village still looked beautiful nevertheless. If you're into history or just wanna escape the city chaos, you gotta check out the Shirakawago Wada House. It's a chill spot to soak up some Japanese rural vibes and appreciate the pure beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage gem. #mytriplog #Japan #shirakawago #Takayama

Shirakawago is a traditional village located in Gifu prefecture, Japan. I visited during Christmas time in December 2022 and it turned out one of the best experiences! The whole village is covered with snow and it’s soooo beautiful! ❄️☃️ the area is not too big so you can walk around easily and moreover, if you have time you can walk up the hill to see the village from above as well. You will be impressed with the view. Getting here can be by bus from Takayama. Enjoy!!!#shirakawago #gifu #japan
