Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village

May

The Ainokura Gassho-zukuri Village in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1995, with 20 remained Gassho-zukuri style houses.
The highlight is the nostalgic original scenery of Japan, where you can see beautiful nature and a fairy tale atmosphere of the clear blue sky and snow in the winter season, or any other seasons.
People still live in the world heritage village that is quite rare these days. In addition, there are many museums, souvenir shops, restaurants, and guesthouses that use gassho-zukuri style houses, making it a popular tourist destination.
