| Shirakawa-go is situated at the foot of Mt. Haku-san, a mountain in the northwestern part of Gifu. It is a quiet village among the hills surrounded by mountains, with rice fields and a river running through it. About 110 houses with steep rafter-roofs stand next to each other, and UNESCO registered the whole of Shirakawa-go as a World Heritage Site in 1995. | ||
