Slow down at Ainokura and Suganuma villages in Gokayama. ☺️ Like a living museum, this pocket of Japan invites you to experience old-world charm. The highlight of the villages are the carefully preserved gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are nearly 400 years old and UNESCO-inscribed. Stay the night and enjoy local delicacies to truly experience an older way of life in a mountain village.
📍 From Shin-Takaoka Station in Toyama Prefecture, take the World Heritage Bus (operated by Kaetsunou Bus) for the one-hour direct trip to Gokayama. From Takaoka Station, take the Johana Line to Johana Station (50 minutes) and catch a 25-minute bus to Gokayama. #VisitJapanAU #Tradition
