Shirakawa-go,Japan The villagers who built their farmhouses in the Japanese region of Shirakawa-go in the 11th century weren't thinking about attracting tourists.They just wanted homes big enough to farm silkworms (蠶) and strong enough to handle snow - lots of snow.The roofs of the houses are very steep.This roofing style allows the region's heavy winter snows to slide off rather than build up and cause damage (損壞).It provides enough space above the living area in which silkworms can be raised.It also offers abundant charm,which visitors from around the world now travel to the region to see.
Shirakawa-go and the neighboring Gokayama both became UNESCO World Heritage sites (世界文化遺產(chǎn)) in 1995.According to UNESCO,they are ."outstanding examples of a traditional way of life perfectly adapted to the environment." The most important part of this environment is snow.Indeed,one of the best times to visit is when the snow has changed the area into a winter wonderland.
In order to attract visitors,the region's villagers have organized winter light-up events.On certain Sunday and Monday evenings in January and February,farmhouses are lit up by floodlight.With snow covering the ground,trees and houses,the light reflects on the snow and glows warmly.It's like a scene from a storybook!
These events are so popular that the villages have had to control the number of visitors.Those who want to enjoy a light-up need to buy tickets in advance.The best way to experience the event is to spend the night in a village farmhouse.But room availability is limited,and bookings are made through a lottery system.
Hopeful tourists must apply by August to have any chance of staying at a farmhouse the following winter.The Shirakawa viewpoint,north of the village of Ogimachi,may be the best spot for taking in the memorable snowy event.It's a 15-minute walk from the village center.And the Wada-ke House,a large farmhouse turned museum,is a must-see.
Let Japan's Shirakawa-go tight up your life!
