    It’s pretty amazing how thanks to RUclips one can be “transported” to a peaceful Japanese village in an instant from the other side of the world (watching from the UK). What a beautiful place and that weather, wow! I’m originally from Poland where in mountains we have houses with similarly shaped roofs as it also snows a lot. They belong to Górale.

    Beautiful snow scenery and love the quiet you get in a snow laden place like that, only the sound of the boots crunching along. Must be a full time job just keeping the snow build up from getting too deep on some of those roofs, even the steep ones. Those poor trees need wacked with a long pole before the snow weight breaks those limbs off also.

    Lots of snow and at times I felt concerned for you for braving the cold to show us this picturesque place. But it was enchanting to see the village totally shrouded in snow and mist. We have lots of rains here in Australia this year as well, at least in the parts of Australia I live in. However, it's steamy hot afterwards.

      🇨🇦 Hello Alberta or British Columbia - this is south western Ontario - I’ve seen many folks (myself included) using umbrellas in the winter during flurries or light snow fall - esp during the past two winters so our masks don’t get wet - it isn’t normally a thing you think of in the great white north though 😁🤗

    I remember visiting in February 2020, just before the pandemic started to spread a lot. It was a really gorgeous day, with some sunny times and some snow as well, but I can remember very distinctly how slippery the roads were from all of the people walking compacting the snow into ice, and having to walk very carefully to avoid falling. It was a lot more crowded that day than now, probably because there are fewer tourists these days. The road up to the vantage point above the town was quite a slow trek but worth it, as seeing all the houses in the valley, with the snow covered mountains on both sides, really was quite amazing.

    • @oryxlim

      I went there on January 2020. It was sunny and no snow at all. I was slightly disappointed bcuz I went there specifically to see the snow, as advertised by the travel agency. :')
      Despite that, the village is very interesting for its historical value. I recommend going there.

So huge! 2:43 mark. A person living in a tropical climate can only look at this video and dream..... what is this really like? If you live in a place where it's 90F everyday....to be here just for a day! Would be an experience of a lifetime!

    Great to see Shirakawa-go in snow again. I went there two years ago and there was no snow at all. My first visit had much more snow like now. I guess the walk up to the lookout was closed from the snow? It's a real shame that the museum was closed. Last time, we discovered a place where you went into the basement of a house and you could eat curry and red beans by an irori. It was great!
