The historical village of Shirakawago looking as pretty as a picture...

The historical village of Shirakawago 
These traditional gassho-zukuri houses are an architectural wonder, with some over 300 years old. 

The steep triangular roofs were designed to prevent heavy snowfall from accumulating on top.
 
Extend your stay and overnight in one of these houses, for a rustic taste of life in ancient Japan. 

Oh and it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, if you needed even more reason to visit!
