Shirakawa-go - a photo on Flickriver

Shirakawa-go

            This was pretty much the last adventure I had before Covid shook up the world. I've been to Japan about ten times, but this time I was determined to go as far north into the fantasy-like snowy mountains and villages as possible. When you get further away from Tokyo, English signs and speaking are almost non-existent. So, navigating the subways and trains is one thing, but the Japanese bus system is another beast altogether. Anyway, I had to figure out how to get here to Shirakawa-go. I finally got off the bus and started to hike into this village and this is what I saw. I didn't know where I was gonna stay for the night, so I kind of knocked around on different doors to see if anyone had a room. I ended up staying in one of those adorable little farmhouses you can see in the back.
