Itinerary Day 6 Shirakawago to Lake Miboro to Takamaya
29 Nov (Sun)
- Street Photography in Gassho style village
- Lake Miboro. Lake Miboro is an artificial lake created when the Miboro Dam was built in 1960, the same time as when Shirakawa village was made. Miboro Dam has a 131-m-high bank and is the first largescale rock-fill dam in Japan.
- Takayama. Takayama is a small town of 60,000 souls nestled in the "Japan Alps" in northern Gifu prefecture. In olden days, Takayama was snowed in for most of the winter and that may be why the ruthless modernization that swept most of Japan had less of an effect here.
