It happened to snow that day, and the white Gassho Village was very beautiful! However, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, so remember to bring an umbrella and wear waterproof clothing and shoes. The ground will be slippery if it's icy, so shoes should be non-slip. Hida beef is delicious and a must-eat! The tour time of this group in Shirakawa-go was only two hours, which was a bit short. The heavy snow delayed a little time and failed to visit carefully and take more photos. It would be great if there is a full-day tour of Shirakawago. I will join it again next time! Overall, everything went very well. The tour guide Aiko was a very cute and considerate girl who recommended restaurants and attractions to us. It's been a pleasant journey! from🇭🇰
