A Magical Snowy Escape

#japantrip Visiting Shirakawa-go in winter feels like being in a fairy tale. The village, nestled in the mountains of Gifu Prefecture, is covered in snow, and the famous gassho-zukuri farmhouses look even more stunning with their snow-covered, steep roofs. It’s like something out of a picture book. Walking through the village in the snow is peaceful and magical, and the view from the Shiroyama Viewpoint is breathtaking, especially when the village is surrounded by snow-covered fields. Overall, Shirakawa-go in winter is a must-see for anyone who loves nature, history, and a little bit of winter magic.
