A traditional Gassho-zukuri house stands in a snow-covered landscape in Shirakawa-go, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The house features a distinctive steeply pitched thatched roof, designed to withstand heavy snowfall. Surrounding the house are snowy fields and dense evergreen forests, with mountains visible in the background. The roof is partially covered in moss, adding a natural texture to the structure. This architectural style is unique to the region and part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, reflecting historical Japanese rural life.
