日本岐阜縣白川鄉合掌村 世界文化遺產中 散步旅行 4K(UHD)

Hello everyone! Today we are at Shirakawa-go in Japan These three gassho houses are called “San Koya” Three houses neatly aligned, a popular photo spot It is April now so some snow has not yet melted But fortunately, the weather is nice today Shirakawa-go was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995 The architecture is called “gassho-zukuri” (合掌造り) It features roofs covered with thatch The roofs resemble hands clasped in prayer at a 60-degree angle Hence the name “gassho-zukuri” The steep roof design allows snow to easily slide off the roof preventing the building from collapsing under the weight of snow The snow in winter here is astonishingly heavy Snowfall can reach 170 cm One of the areas with the heaviest snowfall in winter The most beautiful season in Shirakawa-go is winter because illumination events are held on winter nights The snowy scenery combined with the soft yellow lights creates a fantastical and tranquil beauty, like a fairyland Illumination events require reservations During the event period visitors without reservations must leave before the event starts in the evening In ancient times, heavy snow in winter caused transportation disruptions, isolating the area from the outside world making it a true hidden gem Legend has it that ancestors came here to live in seclusion after the Genpei War in the 13th century Due to harsh natural conditions villagers are highly united This spirit is demonstrated when changing the thatched roof When a household’s roof needs repair the entire village comes together to help This spirit is locally known as “Yui no Kokoro” (結之心) Even today this spirit has been passed down In today’s fast-paced society it is the most precious and worth cherishing intangible asset The snow has melted In March, temperatures rise Spring arrives and the snow begins to melt Cherry blossoms in Shirakawa-go bloom around mid-April In summer, Shirakawa-go is surrounded by lush green trees, fresh and comfortable In late October, autumn arrives It is the best time to enjoy the fall foliage Each season offers unique beauty Winter is the most dreamy and captivating Thanks to the opening of highways you can visit year-round For safety reasons, buses are recommended in winter You can depart from Takayama or Kanazawa Take Nohi or Hokutetsu buses to Shirakawa-go Seats are reservation-based Seats are reservation-based In ancient times, the main industry in the village was sericulture

探索心的連結——白川鄉合掌村 🏡✨

「結之心」——團結互助的精神 白川鄉不只是美景，這裡的居民世世代代都秉持著「結」的精神，這是一種團結互助的生活方式。在這個偏遠的山村，冬季積雪深厚，生活環境嚴峻，因此村民們彼此幫助，共同維護家園。他們一起修繕合掌造屋頂、共同舉辦祭典，甚至在日常生活中互相扶持，形成了強大的社群凝聚力。這種精神讓白川鄉不只是旅遊景點，更是一個充滿溫暖與人情味的地方。
