I'm excited to visit Shirakawa-go from July 10th to July 23rd, 2025, for an immersive exploration of its unique Gassho-style farmhouses and the serene beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a passion for textile arts and cultural history, I plan to delve into the traditional crafts and local artisan scenes. Since I haven't booked a hotel, I'll be staying at local inns to fully experience the authentic, rustic lifestyle. Traveling solo will allow me to connect deeply with the local culture and find inspiration for my textile art.
