Shirakawa-go Snowy Scenery

I thought that Gassho Village was already full of spring in April, but I didn’t expect that the roofs of the village were still covered with thick white snow, as if I had walked into a secret place in a winter fairy tale. Take a slow walk along the trail, step on the snow, and every step is like leaving your own story in the snow world.
❄️There is still snow on the roofs of the Gassho-zukuri houses, and some of the houses have snow walls and snowmen piled up in front of them, making people unable to help but press the shutter several times! There are fewer tourists in winter, so taking photos is quieter and more relaxed.
📸 It is highly recommended to go to the Gassho Village Observation Deck (Shiroyama Observation Deck) to overlook the entire Shirakawa-go Gassho Village from a high place, like a quiet snow country oil painting. The distant mountains are still a bit white, and combined with the wooden houses, chimneys and pastoral scenery, it is so beautiful that it takes your breath away.
💡 Tip: It’s still cold at the mountain viewing platform in April, so dress warmly! The road may still be icy, so be careful.
