Japan for that - in a village in the legend

ชิราคาวา-โก


Japan for that - in a village in the legend
    Picturesque villages with thatched roof, where just 10 homes tucked amid the snow-capped mountains almost all year round.May be left only memories. Because of adverse weather conditions which affect their lives. The nation's high-Kim (Heiki) who emigrated from Kyoto. As the capital city at that time.Residents decided to leave again.

          
Plains at the foothills of San Sacred Heart Manual Toyota Motor Corporation decided to buy land in this area. The intention is to remain natural. The establishment of environmental information for Toyota World - Go up. It inspired the name of the village.Despite the conservation of forests around the small village, but the back is only a myth. But yes, I've seen in a traditional Japanese comic series back in does not still be seen.

          
Among the Japanese Alps. Away from the city of Takayama, approximately 50 kms to the 600 people still living in the village at the Okinawa Prefecture (Ogimachi) part of the chip for that - in. The river that Ashoka (Shogawa), which has been registered as world heritage who lives in central Japan in 1995 with a new house with the old house here in Las Vegas show's life. (Gassho-zukuri) mixed together.

          
Vegas here I house show ring. Farmer is home to over 250 years old, the word "Vegas show," meaning hill, which indicates the hand. The style of the house with straw roof with a steep hill to 60 degrees, like the two hands together. The house is approximately 18 meters and a width of 10 meters was built without using nails.

          
The main elements of the house. Each wood and straw.What should be a part of this community is about power. And smoking is one of prohibition, as well as fireworks, because each house will have to fight to the enemy, three types of degradation over time, lights and snow.


          The synergy between repairing the roof of the people in the village called Yui (Yui) is a part of life for people living in Tokyo for that - in.This is one of the factors that will preserve this precious heritage.After the harvest ends, before the sky was clear and cool autumn air is passed into winter. They are very active effort to change the roof to be completed within 4 days, 3 days it took to remove the old roof. And put a new roof is completed in just one day.

          
While I have power to appoint patrols to patrol around the village regularly. And sometimes the water with a sprinkler, it is a necessity of the village. Even in the midst of a valley surrounded by the moisture of the forest. And spray water from the emerald green waters beneath.

          
In winter, the visual beauty of the village, amid the white snow. This is the moment that the community must fight with nature.During the months of December through March. 2-3 meters thick snow cover they need to climb on the roof to sweep the snow came down so as not to make it come loose straw roofs turned to ice.

          
But yes, it will have to fight the cold weather only. During this same time, especially on Saturday night of January and February.This village will light up the decorations. To reveal their charms.Beautiful at night.

          
While a strong typhoon or at least not affected villages are located along the riverbank. The house is facing to the west and east of the roof. Resulting from wind blowing from north to south along the River.


          Before the 16th century in this area has been home in Las Vegas show after only 50 until the end of the Edo period, up to 80 units before the increase in the aggregate, more than 100 houses in the middle of the Meiji period. The small road linking all the villages together and in 1890 the Japanese government to the village road.Since then, a new Japanese style was formed. The original show in Las Vegas now has a home in the City for that - in total 113 units and 329 other Japanese-style houses behind.

          
Visits Okinawa to Japan and then passed through a half-day or one day. May not experience the full beauty of this village. Many people chose to stay overnight in a quiet village to take some time to explore the life and Is still not as clockwise rotation. If there is time for a little over Ban Ke (Wadake) Full service home Sato (Furusato) and having measured Zen Chi. Built of wood and straw as well. It is very important to visit. Although it may have to pay another 300 yen or more visits.
