Shirakawa-go is located in the north-western part of Gifu Prefecture, in the approximate center of Japan.
In December 1995, Shirakawa-go was registered as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the “Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama”.
The most unique registration area is the gassho style settlements in Shirakawa Village Ogimachi in Gifu Prefecture.
They are famous for their traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old.
