Shirakawa-Go in Pictures

Today was such an awesome day! G and I spent the day with Yuri and her friend Massa. They rented a car and drove us to Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO world heritage site.  Shirakawa-go features traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses.  "Gassho-zukuri" means "built like praying hands."  Some are more than 250 years old.  

The village is so picturesque!  Every photo I took turned out well.  So rather than using words to explain, I'll let the photos do the talking.

We left the village and took a route that led us to a vista point overlooking the village.

We left the vista point somewhere around 4pm and headed back to Nagoya to find food and entertainment.
