Nagase House
Attraction
Sep 24
Nagase Houseβ β β β β Hilma's pick
The tallest gassho-zukuri in the village β five floors of dark timber, a five-hundred-year-old Buddhist altar on the first floor, and a video of the entire village rethatching the roof in a single day. The ladder climb to the top floor is worth it for the view of the valley through the attic window.

Irori
Restaurant

Iroriβ β β β Hilma's pick
A gassho house turned restaurant a minute's walk from the bus terminal. Grilled tofu set and soba are the signatures, and the building itself β dark beams, irori hearth, tatami floors β is part of the meal.
