The original scenery of Japan remains as a result of supportive living and people helping each other.
Shirakawa-go
Shirakawa Village, located in Ohno-districtin the northwestern part of Gifu Prefecture, is one of the most heavily snowy areas in Japan, once said to be an mysterious land of Japan. It is a Gassho-zukuri village where people's lives still live. In this area, where interaction with the outside world has been cut off in the snowy winter, people in the village have had close ties with each other since ancient times, and the original senerey of Japan has been handed down through the mutual help of people living in this village.
The founder of "Shiroyama Tenshukaku" wanted to entertain the tourists who visted in Shirakawa-go and was driving a hourse carriage to explore Ogimachi Gassho-zukuri village.It was very popular with them.
Later, while managing the rice fields every day, he thought that he wanted many people to see this view from here, and if they could see Ogimachi Gassho-zukurivillage from here, the view would be truly magnificent.In 1978, he built "Shiroyama Tenshukaku" on the hill full of rice fileds, and it became a restaurant where you can eat and enjoy the scenery.
It is now open as restaurant "TENSHUKAKU", "Souvenir Shop in the observation deck" and "Cafe in the observation deck" with the observatory that overlooks the world heritage Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village.
