JAPAN - Gassho-Zukuri Village

Thanks Alshams for the card.

"Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Gokayama (Ainokura and Suganuma) in the southern part of Toyama Prefecture are villages designated as World Heritage sites by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization due to the presence of thatched- and steep-roofed gassho-zukuri houses. The villages are among a limited number of heavy-snow areas in Japan and traditional gassho-zukuri houses have miraculously remained here due to delays in road improvement construction.

A feature of the houses is the steep roof (of 45 degree to 60 degree), and the structure is called gassho zukuri because the houses resemble palms placed together and fingers pointing upward in prayer. No nails or other metal materials are used." Source
