Echizen Gokayama [Ainokura Gassho Style Village]

This is a hidden gassho-style village, a World Heritage Site, located about 20 minutes by car from the nearby Suganuma gassho-style village.

Parking fee is 500 yen.

The village has a peaceful rural landscape where you can spend your time leisurely.

There are ordinary houses, guesthouses using gassho-style houses, experience centers for papermaking, and izakayas.

In addition, there are several observation points in the village from which you can see the entire gassho-style village.

This place is not as crowded with tourists as Shirakawa-go, so it is a good place for those who want to avoid the crowds and see the gassho-style houses.

The old traditional houses are worth seeing and you can get a glimpse of life at that time.

It has different charms depending on the season, so you will want to visit it again and again.
