Shirakawa-go is the old village. It is a world heritage.
There are many old houses in this village.
These old houses have big, sharp thatched roofs.
In this area, It's snowy in winter, so these roofs guard houses against snow.
About 100-200 years ago, we could see such a old house at the country in Japan,
but we cannot see it recently. The yellow fields are rice fields. It's very beautiful.
This is "Jinya" in Takayama. "Jinya" was a public office in the Edo period.
There is a old town in Takayama.
There are a lot of souvenir shops and tea shops in this street, so many people come here.
What is this?
This is a sign of a liquor shop. It's strange shape...
