January 4th: A Sunny Day After Snow in Shirakawa-go 🌨️(1)🌟🌸

These past few days, there hasn’t been any snow, and the temperature is just right—not cold at all. 🍃🌺 We booked our bus tickets in advance on the Nozawa Bus website, departing directly from Nagoya to Shirakawa-go. The journey took a little over two hours, and the roads were clear—no traffic at all. Everything went smoothly! 🌟 We arrived in Shirakawa-go around 11:30 AM. Our original plan was to take the shuttle to the observation deck, 🌇🌿 but the drivers take a break from 12 PM to 1:20 PM. So, we decided to walk up, which took about 20 minutes. The observation deck wasn’t crowded at this time, making it perfect for photos! 📸 The mini photos at the observation deck are free, but larger prints come at a cost. 🍃🌺 The staff will show you the photos, and if you think they’re great, you can choose to buy them. The staff were super friendly! 🌇🌿Even if you don’t buy anything, it’s okay—the mini photos are enough. 😊 #Shirakawa-go #Gifu
