Visitors can wander through the lush gardens and ponds, admiring the plants and carp playing in the water. Many of the traditional Gassho-zukuri houses are open to the public, and some have been converted into inns. The name "Gassho-zukuri" is a vivid name for the shape of the roof, which resembles "hands clasped together in prayer." Each house is a masterpiece of carpentry, with no nails and beams slotted in tightly to form a single piece. The structures are so strong that they have stood since the 19th century in a country prone to earthquakes. Some of the houses are guest houses where guests can stay. The Gassho-zukuri villages will make you feel like you have stepped back into pre-modern Japan. Climb to the Hakusan Observatory and look out over the village to feel a time gone by. You never get tired of seeing Shirakawa-go, and the town changes with the seasons. Whether it is the midsummer with blooming cherry blossoms, the early autumn with colorful leaves, or the quiet winter with snow-covered grounds, the beautiful scenery of Shirakawa-go always makes people linger.
