| Traditional Japanese village houses with steep thatched roofs and wooden frames, typical of Shirakawa-go, are set against a lush forest backdrop. The structures are triangular, designed to withstand heavy snowfall. A hedge runs in front of the buildings, separating them from a grassy area. The mountainous terrain enhances the picturesque scenery. These houses, often referred to as gassho-zukuri, are acclaimed for their architectural significance and are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting their cultural and historical importance. |
