I've been to Shirakawa-go several times, and each visit feels different. Maybe it's because it's so famous now—tour buses keep bringing in more and more tourists, and the local lifestyle is slowly changing. If you have time, I recommend staying overnight at a local guesthouse to really experience life here.

Everything sold here is related to Naruto, like Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes, dried seafood, and whirlpool-themed souvenirs. There are so many options! The moment you walk in, it's easy to start grabbing things without even realizing it.

This is a historic site left behind by the atomic bombing in World War II. It serves as a sad reminder of the cruelty of war and stands as a landmark for peace.

This is a multi-purpose commercial building near the station. There's a supermarket, convenience store, and all kinds of restaurants in the basement. The courtyard has plenty of places to sit and relax, so it's a nice spot to enjoy a laid-back lunch.
