白川郷｜五箇山相倉合掌造り集落｜岐阜県飛騨高山｜富山県南砺市｜世界遺産を巡る旅
Hello. Couple gourmet and travel channel. This time, we will introduce Shirakawago and Gokayama Ainokura! Since I’m not used to driving on snowy roads, I took a bus tour. This is a tour operated by Nohi Bus.Tour name: “World Heritage Tour of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama Ainokura 2 Places”.The tour includes two sites
: Shirakawa-go (Shirakawa Village, Gifu Prefecture) Gassho Village and Gokayama Ainokura (Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture). You can tour the gassho village of Tokoro in one day. I had always wanted to go to Shirakawa-go, but the difficulty in accessing it kept me away. However, when I found out about this tour, my wish came true!
It is still in operation as of December 2023. I looked it up and it seems like there are taxi tours as well. Paste the Hida Bus site URL in the summary section. The opportunity to visit two world heritage sites in Gifu and Toyama prefectures
Was a rare opportunity, and it was actually a wonderful experience. After driving on a snowy road for about an hour and a half, the first place we arrived at was the Gassho village of Ainokura , Gokayama.There are 20 Gassho-zukuri houses that still exist in Ainokura, and
You can see the Gassho-zukuri houses such as thatched temples and houses. . This is the “primitive gassho-zukuri” style. This house was built in the late Edo period and is said to be the prototype of the gassho-zukuri style houses of the Ainokura village. It may be hard to tell because of the snow, but
Unlike other houses, the roof is all the way to the ground. It is said that there were several primitive gassho-zukuri structures in this village, but this one is the only one currently standing. It is said that people lived in primitive gassho-style houses until the early Showa period.
You can’t tour the inside, but it’s very interesting. If you compare primitive Gassho-zukuri with other Gassho-zukuri, you will see that the roof touches the ground.I think the houses were probably modified to make them more livable to suit the area. Masu. There were fewer tourists in Ainokura Village than in Shirakawa-go, so
I was able to explore the village in peace and quiet. It was a valuable experience to see the primitive gassho-zukuri style. There was a wonderful scenery. I was also surprised at how smooth the snow was. We don’t do winter sports, so snow in snowy countries was very rare.
I prepared crampons to participate in this tour, and it was a great decision! There were some slippery areas, and many people fell. For your reference, I have attached the Amazon link. After walking around for about 50 minutes, we returned to the bus and headed to our next destination. The destination is “Shirakawa-go”.
When you arrive at Shirakawa-go, you will be surprised at how impressive it is. This is because there are 114 gassho-zukuri buildings, each of which is larger than the Ainokura village. There was also a house where you could see the inside of the house and learn about how people lived there.
The heat and smoke from the hearth hits the fire shelf above, where it stays , spreads out, and slowly flows up to the upper floor.It is designed so that the smoke and heat can reach every corner. There are also exhibits of zori sandals and daily necessities from the time,
Giving us a concrete idea of what people were like at the time. The picture is cute. You can see the hearth on the first floor from the second floor. Smoke is definitely rising. The floors and beams are pitch black with smoke tar and soot.
It is said that this tar protects the wood and thatch. It is filled with wisdom for daily life, and there are many things that interest me, so I was able to study with great interest.
This is a video taken from the 3rd floor (maybe it was the 2nd floor) of the gassho style building. I think you can get a feel for how big the house is. Well, I went to a handmade soba restaurant for lunch.
I was a little early for lunch, so I didn’t have to wait in line, but it was crowded everywhere around lunchtime. The yam soba and cooked rice will warm your cold body. After walking around for about 2 hours and 40 minutes, we returned to the bus and
Headed to the Tenshukaku Observation Deck, where you can see the entire Gassho Village. I’ve seen it many times on TV and in pamphlets, but it’s still impressive when you go there. This time we introduced Ainokura Gassho-zukuri and Shirakawago Gassho-zukuri. It was a very convenient tour, so I recommend it to anyone considering sightseeing.
