Nagoya Shirakawa-go - Every ti

Nagoya Shirakawa-go - Every time I talk about it, I feel like I'm walking into a Japanese fairy tale village! Shirakawa Village is really beautiful in autumn, especially Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observation Deck, overlooking a touch of tranquility between the mountains and rivers, whether it is sunny or cloudy, each has its own flavor. This time, we will take you from Nagoya to test the most essential photo spot in Shirakawa Village - Ogimachi Castle Trail Observation Deck.

The whole trip is full of highlights: on one side is an ancient village, on the other side is the colorful mountain forest, the river meanders through the village, no matter what the camera level can take pictures of the circle of friends humanistic landscape photos. Coupled with the changeable weather, the occasional rainy day has a sense of time and tranquility - bring you the double surprise of nature + humanity at once!

🗺️ Attraction Recommendations:
1. Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observation Deck
📍Address: Ogimachi, Shirakawa, Ono District, Gifu 501-5627 Japan
⏰ Open all day year round, you can come and enjoy the vast view surrounded by mountains at any time. Whether it's the dim light in the morning or the smoke and rain in the afternoon, it has its own atmosphere.

Before climbing to the observation deck, it is best to walk along the river slope. The autumn leaves change color and the banks are as bright as if they have been painted by nature's palette. Even when encountering cloudy and rainy days, the whole view will be a bit of gray-toned romance, which makes people feel more peaceful - it is strongly recommended to reserve time to sit quietly in a daze, waiting for the clouds to roll and the village to slowly emerge like a fairy tale picture.

The observation deck is well-placed, allowing you to stroll around and have a panoramic view of the entire Shirakawa Village. Below is the World Heritage Joint Palm complex, the snow cover will be very fairy in winter, and in autumn it is golden and scarlet interlaced; every angle shot out is super feel.

🌦️ Practical tips & real impressions:
This time I just encountered fog and rain, which obscured part of the distant mountains, but instead made the whole village atmosphere more quiet and healing. It is recommended that luggage must be a waterproof jacket, easy-to-walk shoes (stone roads, muddy ground easily wet and slippery in the rain), and a spare camera battery / charger; too much on-site photography can easily consume power!

From Nagoya city you can take a high-speed bus to Shirakawago Station (it is recommended to check trip.com in advance to book tickets). After getting off the bus, walk for about 10 minutes to the entrance to the observation deck. There are not many snack bars and souvenir shops along the way, so remember to bring some light snacks.

🍵 Food recommendations
After plenty of time, you can try Hida beef sushi and Gassho Architecture-limited desserts at the village's "Sanshiro Canteen" after descending. Located close to the center of the village, the simple Japanese atmosphere is super healing.
