A Home-Stay @ Shirakawa-go


Rastam had booked online a 3-day-2-nights package of a homestay with a family at the Shirakawa-go village. After our lunch - we walked across the river to the village where our homestay was located. The home was run a an elderly couple and we were given a fairly large room that easily fitted 3 tatami mattresses for us.
