Overview of the property
Gassho-zukuri, with its triangular gable roofs, is a unique Japanese residential architecture style found in Shirakawa-go (Ogimachi Village), Gifu Prefecture, Aikura Village in Gokayama, Toyama Prefecture, and here in Suganuma Village (a world heritage site since 1995)
The small Gassho-zukuri style houses in Suganuma Village were built on flat land between the late Edo period and the Taisho period (1912-1926). You can experience how people from different generations lived.
A five-minute walk from Suganuma Village is Gokayama Gassho-no-Sato, which features three Gassho-zukuri houses that were relocated for preservation reasons.
The kitchens and baths have been remodeled in a modern style, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
This is the only place in the world where you can rent out a single Gassho-zukuri house. Please come and experience it for yourself.
