Gifu | Shirakawa-go Gassho Village, a fairy-tale town that is a World Heritage Site.

#Dragon Boat Festival good places #Dragon Boat Festival good places During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, we went to Hokuriku, Japan, to the World Heritage Site - Shirakawa-go Gassho Village, which is like a fairy-tale paradise. It was cloudy in the morning in Takayama city, but unexpectedly the sun was shining brightly on the way to Shirakawa-go by bus. So under the blue sky and white clouds, we embarked on a half-day tour of the fairy-tale town in the mountains. The good weather and the mirror-like reflection of the rice fields made Gassho Village even more dreamy. It was simply the background of a European fairy tale! ✓How to get to Shirakawa-go Gassho Village? Stay one night in Takayama city, and take the express bus to Nohi Bus Station the next morning. There are three routes that will stop at Shirakawa-go, and the journey takes about 1 hour. 1. Takayama - Shirakawa-go - Kanazawa 2. Takayama-Shirakawa-go-Takaoka 3. Takayama-Shirakawa-go-Toyama ✓ Pay attention to the facts: 1. Tickets must be booked in advance and can be purchased online by presenting electronic tickets. Shirakawa-go Gassho Village is very popular, so if you buy on the day you may not get a seat, so remember that. 2. If you are traveling round trip on the same day, you need to buy the outbound and return tickets separately because you have to choose the time period. 3. If you choose to go to Shirakawa-go early in the morning like I did and then go to Toyama in the afternoon, you can store your large luggage at the Shirakawa-go Bus Center first. Shirakawa-go is not big, and a half-day tour is more than enough. First, go up to the observation deck to overlook the entire Gassho Village of Shirakawa-go, then choose a Gassho-style building to visit, and finally choose a restaurant or teahouse to relax. Good weather is very important. I won’t be able to stop until I take 500 photos. #birthday solo trip to Japan 29 days #富山 #toyama #Gifu #Shirakawa-go Gassho-style Village
