Mossy thatched roof in Shirakawa-Go

We got a little moss on our roof in Oregon, and I was reminded of the beauty of Shirakawago. The insurance company disagreed and decided to cancel our policy.

Strolling through Gilleleje

Gilleleje, Denmark

When this photo came up as my desktop image of the day I thought it was from Dragør. However, a look at the EXIF data proved that this assumption of mine was incorrect. This fairy tale village is actually Gilleleje.

Ogimachi Village (荻町集落)

Ogimachi from the Shiroyama Viewpoint (城山展望台から荻町集落)

Ogimachi in Shirakawago is most famous for its look in winter. But in just one month the rice paddies will be long, green, and beautiful. Another good thing about visiting in July is, due to the high altitude, Shirakawago can be cooler than the rest of a hot and humid summer in Japan. For best results, make a reservation to stay at a gasshozukuri weeks in advance and plan your stay for a weeknight as it can get crowded on the weekends.
