  • 68. Gassho-zukuri 合掌造 at Shirakawa-go are houses are a type of minka built of wooden beams assembled to form a steep thatched roof that resembles two hands praying together. These structures were built to suit the winter environment in Shirakawa and also provide work space for the area's sericulture.  The buildings face north and south so as to minimize wind resistance while controlling the amount of sunlight hitting the roof which keep them cool in summer and warm in the winter.  Because of its remote location and harsh winters, this special kind of roof with extreme angles were developed to cope with the deep and heavy snows in winter.

  • Matsumoto Castle is one of five castles designated as ‘National Treasures of Japan’ and one of the oldest castles remaining in Japan. This elegant black and white structure with its three turrets was built in 1592.  Because of the exquisite black walls, Matsumoto-jo is sometimes called Crow Castle. Inside the castle visitors find displays of armor and weapons from the Warring States Period when the castle was built. The narrow wooden windows once used by archers and gunmen now give off amazing views of the Japanese Alps, Matsumoto City and the carp and swans circling in the moat below.
