Can't get enough of the white scenery~
After the long bus ride, finally we arrive at Shirakawa-go.
It was snowing pretty heavily when we arrived.
Most people will cross over to the other side of this bridge to see the gassho-zukuri.
Instead, we went to the Gasshozukuri-Minkanen which of course, had a lot less tourists.
There you can enter a few of the gassho-zukuri which had exhibitions like these.
I'm not sure if it's because of the snow, but the surrounding view is amazing.
Also because, this area really had a lot less tourists, I was able to snap some nice pictures.
Lol, daddy busy with this phone!

It was very cold, but we had to take off our gloves to push the snap buttons on the phone lol.
A nice guard who was working there volunteered to take our pictures.
Highly recommend you to visit this site instead to avoid the crowds.
Some pics of the crowded looking bridge and the snowy mountains.
After about an hour here, we continued on our journey to another gassho-zukuri area.
As we were the only bus tour group there, we got to take some really nice pictures.
There are some shops there which you can buy things from.
I guess we were really lucky that it snowed because it allowed us to enjoy the snowy weather too.
I feel that the snow adds to the charm of this place.
