Being
a new comer of Takayama, I was looking forward to my first winter in Takayama
and Shirakawago. When I visited
Shirakawago in April last year, I luckily visited the village at the times with
the cherry (Sakura) blossom. I was
impressed with the scenery with the snow mountain and sakura trees.
Winter
brings a new look of Shirakawago. Heavy
snow in Shirakawago makes the roofs, bridges, trees etc all covered in
white. When January comes, the nights
of Shirakawago get busier than usual.
The village was lighted up during some weekends in January and
February. I was surprised with the
stunning views from the observation point and also in every part in the
village. No wonder Shirakawgo light up
event becomes such a popular must-see event in life time!
Although
the light up evenｔ has been over, I also recommend you to visit the village in
day time. Do you believe you can see
the snowy wonderland in reality?
