Gokayama ー
五箇山
Simple rural country:
Gokayama is not so big as Shirakawa-go, but it is also village of rafter roof houses with two villages, one is Suganuma, and the other is Ainokura. It is surrounded by the fields, and tourists are not so many as Shirakawa-go, which makes it simple rural country. Staying at a private lodging facility without doing anything is luxurious and refreshing.
