Located in Gifu Prefecture, Shirakawa-go is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that captures pre-modern Japan.
As you wander the village you can see the living history in the gassho-zukuri style farmhouses with thatched roofs.
The local villagers work together to preserve their homes and traditional way of living, and traffic regulations limit car access to help protect the environment.
When you visit locations such as Shirakawa-go, it helps to preserve the local culture, historic buildings and surrounding environment for years to come.
