World heritage “Shirakawago”.It is called “gassho-zukuri” because the large thatched roof looks like “gassho” with the palms together.
The angle of the roof is steep to make it easier to slide off the accumulated snow, and the windows of the houses are lined up so that they face north and south.
The picture above is the view from the observatory.I will climb a little steep slope.The snow clump in the foreground had time to spare, so I created “Mini Shirakawago” with snow.The day I visited for shooting was winter, so the snow scene was beautiful.
冬の白川郷、昔ばなしの世界のような素敵な風景でした。
It was a wonderful landscape like Shirakawa-go in winter, the world of old tales.
A lot of scarecrows.Many of the places in the above photo were taken in commemoration.Hurry to see the gap and shoot.The leftmost Scarecrow is a Shirakawa-go pose.Everyone was unique and lovely.

2020年2月の白川郷
今年も、白川郷に撮影に行ってきました。
Shirakawa-go in February 2020
This year, I went to Shirakawa-go for photography.
一面、雪景色の白川郷。素晴らしい絶景でした。
One side, Shirakawa-go with snowy scenery.It was a wonderful view.
地面に積もった雪が、とても綺麗です。
The snow on the ground is very beautiful.
所々、丸く積もった雪も可愛らしく素敵な光景でした。
In some places, the snow that was piled up in a circle was also a lovely sight.
The sub-zero forest has a fantastic icy world that spreads out over about 4 hectares.Artistic ice art attracts visitors.In winter, it is a sightseeing spot that can be enjoyed day and night as it is illuminated.
The photo above is a lighted up landscape.Light with a rainbow-like color is colorful and very beautiful.The shape of the icicles was various and cute.
光の色は、徐々に変化していきます。上のパステルカラーも優しい色で癒されました。
The color of light changes gradually.The pastel color above was also healed with gentle colors.
The above photo is just a white light, but the blue icicles are very beautiful.When ice and snow are mixed and gradually increasing, it seems to be a clear blue ice like the ice of a subzero forest.I was impressed by the fantastic winter scenery that can only be seen in the “freezing forest”.
Hirayu Otaki is a waterfall located in Okuhida Onsen-go Hirayu, Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture.Hirayu Otaki, with a drop of 64 meters and a width of 6 meters, is one of the three great waterfalls of Hida and has been selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.It is also famous for the illumination of frozen ice waterfalls during the severe winter months.
The photo above is Hirayu Otaki in autumn season.It was a rainy day, so the waterfall was large and powerful.Even on a rainy day, many people visited for sightseeing.
滝のそばに近づくと水しぶきが凄いです。雨にぬれた木々がしっとりしていて綺麗でした。
※ 駐車場から滝までは、１０分程坂道を登って行きます。雪の積もっている時期の観光は大変そうです。
Splashes are amazing when you approach the waterfall.The wet trees were moist and beautiful.
* From the parking lot to the waterfall, climb the slope for about 10 minutes.Sightseeing during the snowy season seems to be difficult.
The picture above is the scenery from the parking lot of Hirayu Otaki.The vivid autumn colors of red, yellow, and orange were very beautiful in the green.The vicinity of Hirayu Otaki was full of beautiful autumn leaves that could be seen everywhere.
