In the Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, there are 20 Gassho-zukuri houses still in existence, and you can see a variety of Gassho-zukuri houses.

  • The Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go Gassho Style Houses

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Shirakawa-go, a World Heritage Site, is a village where 114 thatched gassho-zukuri houses still retain the nostalgic scenery of old Japan. The steeply sloped triangular roof, which is unique to regions with heavy snowfall, resembles the shape of hands joined together, which is why it is called a gassho-zukuri house. Feel free to stroll around the village for as long as you like. * You can also enter "Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Minkaen".
  • Shirakawago Gassho Zukuri Minkaen

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    During the walk, you can also enter the "Gassho-zukuri Minkaen". (Entrance fee is included) *The park is closed on Thursdays from December to March. (If the park is closed, we will give you our original mascot.)
  • Tenshukakau Observatory

    20 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    Located on a hill in the northwest of Shirakawa-go, you can overlook the Shirakawa-go gassho village. The view from here is the one you often see on posters. The gassho-zukuri village of Ogimachi is colored by the nature of each season, making you feel as if you are in a fairy tale world.

This is highly recommended and the tour guide is very friendly and speaks in both fluent English and Japanese. It is a must if you come 1st time to Takayama for Shirakawago without staying in the village. Enjoy.

Very appreciate the hardwork of the tour guide, very informative and she is very helpful. Explaining in both Japanese and English, will give you a heads up when there is a nice scenery coming soon.
