Shirakawago and Gokayama

スレッド
Last weekend I went to Shirakawago and Gokayama. It was my first time there. I stayed in a Japanese style hotel in Gokayama. Great food!

I really enjoyed Shirakawago, but I thought Gokayama was more beautiful. I liked how the old villages were separated from the town. In Shirakawago, old and new seemed mixed.

The best part of the weekend was that I got to go to one of the Gokayama villages at night. All of the old farm houses were lit up. BEAUTIFUL! Also, it was a special tour only for people staying in Gokayama, so there was only about 15 people there. It felt like no one! It was pretty special and very beautiful.

Did I mention that there was a lot of snow!!!
