JGA Walking Tours

　Shirakawa-go village consists of a group of huge wooden buildings of farmhouses. These farmhouses have steep thatched roofs. They are called Gasshozukuri, which literally means palms of hands joined together in prayer. Visiting two of these huge farmhouses will usher us into further understanding of the inside structure. It is amazing to see these huge wooden farmhouses and to know that they were built almost 200 years ago by common people. I am always astounded at seeing these huge wooden buildings preserved from the past, whenever I visit here to guide.
