An interesting place to see a variety of Gasshou houses, the site in split in two with one side being a beautiful village, and the other a collection of different buildings often used for school trips. Very quiet when visiting.

Quiet and peaceful village, not very touristy and can be reached by Kaetsuno bus. There’s a coined-base locker at bus stop so you can drop your bags there with $100. You can also take a short walk to visit Gokayama via tunnel connecting 2 villages. Few tea houses and restaurants are available in the village so you can enjoy hot matcha green tea. Amazing experience in such a cold day

Nice quiet little start to our Gassho houses tour. Parking ¥500. The little museum was worth a visit at ¥300 for both. Went to Shirakawago afterwards (stayed the night and enjoyed the early morning with no crowds, didn’t enter any houses there as did a mini version here) and Hida Village Takayama ¥700 parking ¥300 (my favourite of the three)

Small folk village. Parking costs something like 500 yen. Not much to see. Much smaller than other folk villages in the region. Take the elevator down after paying for the parking. Was raining while we were visiting and some shops were closed. Imagine it would be beautiful in the winter, but we went in May. Good for pit stop if it’s along your route (which it was for us); skip it otherwise. Not worth a detour.

Assalamualaikum brother, we came to this place on February 11th 2023. This place has a lot of interesting views. You can see the traditional Japanese houses here. In winter there will be more interesting spot here. This place looks like Shirakawago but smaller area. The parking area was 500¥ and you will guided to use elevator facilities for going to Suganuma village or Gokayama village. Recommended place to visit.
