A Journey to Shirakawa-go Village

🌆➡️🏞️ Just left the city behind to experience the charming beauty of Shirakawa-go Village in Japan. The traditional gassho-zukuri houses and serene mountain views make it a perfect escape. Feeling connected to nature and history! 🍂🏠

✈️ Travel Tips:

⏰ Timing: Visit in winter for a magical snow-covered experience or in summer for lush greenery.

🚗 Transport: Take a bus from Takayama or Kanazawa; check schedules in advance as services may vary. By the way, I recommend to rent a car.

🛏️ Stay: Book accommodations early, especially during peak seasons, to secure a spot in one of the traditional guesthouses.

💵 Cash: Bring enough cash as many local shops and restaurants may not accept credit cards.

☺️ Respect Local Customs: Follow the local etiquette and be mindful of noise levels, as it’s a quiet and historic village.
