Shirakawa-go in Ohno-gun, Gifu Prefecture, was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage (Cultural Heritage) in 1995 as Gokayama (Toyama Prefecture) and Shirakawa-go and Gokayama's gathered village.
This is a scenic view point overlooking Shirakawago.
The sunset was over. House with a steep rafter roof got a light. And the light reflected in the snow was very fantastic.

伝統的な建物の群れの中で、どんな日常が営まれているのだろう。今と昔の取捨選択の中で、ここに住むひとたちがどんなことを思い、この風景を引き継いでいるのか、とても興味がわきます。
Peter Barakan

These houses with their distinctive 'hands in prayer' styled roofs are now sadly disappearing from Japan's landscape, though preserved in village form in Shirakawa-go, Gifu prefecture.
