The house is a dignified gassho style house etched with 160 years of history. It has been finished to very high standard, as can be seen in features such as the floor plan and long roof beams. The Kanda family settled here after branching off from the Wada household, establishing a brewery. It is estimated that the house was constructed in around 1850, and from the floor plan and the carpenter’s extensive handwriting on the roof frame, it can be seen that this is a refined example of gassho style architecture. *Notice: Free choice up to individual

Ogimachi is the largest village and main attraction of Shirakawa-go. Declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1995, the village is home to several dozen well preserved gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. The farmhouses are quite amazing structures, designed to withstand the harsh winters while providing a place to work and live, and are best seen either covered in snow or surrounded by green fields. Many of the farmhouses are now restaurants, museums or minshuku, where you can stay overnight, the ultimate way of experiencing Shirakawago. 15:00-16:00 Shiragawago (60 minutes)
