This is a Shirakawa-go live camera installed at the Ogimachi Castle ruins observation deck in Shirakawa Village, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture. You can see a panoramic view of Shirakawa-go.

Shirakawa-go is a gassho-style village in Shirakawa-mura, Ono-gun, Gifu Prefecture, that can be said to be a rural or original landscape of Japan. In 1976, it was registered as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and in 1995, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the Shirakawa-go/Gokayama Gassho-style Village. There are about 100 gassho-style houses lined up, and you can experience old-time daily tools and silkworm farming in important cultural property houses such as the Wada House, Kanda House, and Nagase House, which can be visited from the inside. In addition, the Myozenji Kuri Local Museum and the Gassho-style Folk House Garden are also worth seeing.
The Tenshukaku Observatory and Ogimachi Castle Ruins Observatory, which offer a panoramic view of the entire village, are great photo spots, and the fantastic snow scenery spreads out, especially when lit up in winter. The observation decks can be accessed on foot or by shuttle bus. For hot spring lovers, we recommend day trips to hot springs such as Shirakawa-go no Yu.
Popular local delicacies include Hida soba noodles, stone-cut tofu, gohei mochi, and local wild vegetable dishes, which can be enjoyed at the cafes and souvenir shops near the observation deck.
During Golden Week and light-up events, many tourists from Japan and abroad visit, and the main parking lots, such as the village-run Seseragi Park Parking Lot, tend to fill up early in the morning. Temporary parking lots are also set up, but advance reservations are not possible, so it is recommended to arrive early. Travel within the village is mainly by foot, and you can leisurely enjoy the quiet atmosphere and beautiful scenery unique to this gassho-style village.
