Without a doubt the best gassho village in the area! To the moron that wrote that there is nothing authentic or informative about it, you are so dead wrong it blows my mind.

First of all, parking is right next to the main road and costs 500 yen. There are restrooms and even an elevator to take you down to village level. I personally recommend the walk down, as you get a nice view of the houses.

Secondly, there are two buildings where you can pay an entry fee (or pay a combo fee of 300 for both) to learn about the history of the village and view authentic items they used. The staff will hand you a book with translations in your preferred language so you don't miss out on any information.

Thirdly, there's a shop where you can take a break to eat and drink something, grab a snack and buy some souvenirs.

Overall, it's not a big place but you can still easily spend an hour or more here. The lack of multiple large tourist buses stopping here is a big plus to me. You actually get to enjoy the peace and quiet. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly in the village (especially the parking attendant; bless that sweet man).
