Ainokura and Suganuma villages, nestled in the Gokayama region of Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture, hold the prestigious distinction of being designated as an UNESCO World Heritage site. These villages, where inhabitants reside amidst charming thatched-roof houses known as gassho-zukuri, offer a picturesque glimpse into Japan’s rich heritage, steeped in history and tradition.
