😇Gassho-style folk homes are defined by the Japanese as a "field museum". There are 25 gassho-style houses for visiting, shrines, temples, small bridges and flowing water, which are of great help to understanding Gassho-style houses in Shirakawa Township.

Tickets are 600 yen, and children are 400 yen.
