The Shirakawa-go Village Museum

at the front door of our home-stay lodge 



We slept through the afternoon until our elderly host came to wake us up telling Rastam that the village museum was lit up and that we should pay a visit to the museum. The museum is a collection of old Gassho-style houses dating back from the 1800s.

we were treated to tea and a bowl of red bean porridge
