# Shirakawa-go, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture
Shirakawa-go is a historic village located in the remote mountains of
Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Known for its traditional gassho-zukuri
farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old, the village is
recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The architectural style is
characterized by thatched roofs designed to resemble the hands of
Buddhist monks pressed together in prayer. These roofs are constructed
to easily shed snow during the heavy winters in the region. Shirakawa-go
offers a picturesque glimpse into Japan's cultural past and a tranquil
rural landscape.
