Shirakawago Three Houses
Scenic spot
👍👍 This spot is quite famous as you can get a picture of 3 traditional farm houses with a rice field in front in the same frame. Winter doesn't make for the best photos as there is no rice planted, however still I nice walk. The 3 houses here are well preserved and maintained. Very beautiful.
