Summary
[edit]DescriptionGokayama, World Heritage Site – Japan (4123608696).jpg |
Gokayama (五箇山) is a village within the city of Nanto in Toyama Prefecture. Its very traditional gasshō-zukuri style homes make it a nearly unique site, and is regarded a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the village of Shirakawa-gō in the Gifu Prefecture. The maintained existence of this traditional architecture is owed largely to the seclusion created by the village's location in the upper reaches of the Shōgawa river. This is also the reason that Gokayama's lifestyle and culture remained very traditional for many years after the majority of the country had modernized. Many of the houses easily surpass 300 years in age. Source: wikipedia Special thanks to JTB for their excellent co-ordination and wonderful hospitality. |
