 just too beautiful to be real. Then I did a lot of research online about this picturesque place; and actually went visiting in November 2005.
Its purity and tranquility can really ease a person's mind. You can also enjoy different scenery when visiting in different seasons.
I will go visit again and again if I had time; and really soak in the true beauty of Shiragawa-gou.

If I can only select one farming village to go in Japan, I must select Shokawa-village. I went there in 1999 but taking 2.5 hours bus from Takayama. I arrived there at night and stayed in a homestead. I could see nothing inside the village at night. In the next morning, when I opened the Japanese window-door from my room. I see many Gassho-zukuri houses just outside! The houses lies inside the valley of the Japan Alps. It likes a picture more than a village. It might be more convenience to visit the villages as a highway was opened from Nagoya to Toyama.
