Night view from Hagimachi Castle Ruins, Gassho-zukuri Village in Shirakawa-go, Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Nighttime view of a traditional village with gassho-zukuri houses in Shirakawa-go, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The scene is illuminated by warm, glowing lights contrasting against the snowy landscape and dark mountain backdrop. Dense forest encloses the village, and the unique thatched roofs of the houses are visible. The sky is dark, with a deep blue hue, adding a serene and tranquil atmosphere to the scenic panorama. The architecture reflects historical Japanese building styles known for steeply pitched roofs designed to withstand heavy snowfall.
