Message from worldpitou

Gokayama, located in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, is a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its traditional gasshō-zukuri houses. These unique structures have steep roofs that resemble equilateral triangles, designed to easily shed snow. The area's secluded location along the Shōgawa river allowed Gokayama's lifestyle and culture to remain traditional even as the rest of the country modernized. With some houses dating back over 300 years, Gokayama offers a glimpse into Japan's rich architectural history and rural charm.
