A UNESCO Gassho-zukuri hamlet where the wooden boat crossing (Kago no Watashi) and thatched farmhouses sit beside a gentle river. Photograph the steep thatched roofs, reflections in the water, seasonal snow blankets and autumn colors. Best at golden hour or blue hour for soft side-light and long reflections. Accessible by car or bus from Nanto; small paid parking nearby. Respect residents — many houses are private or museums with small entry fees.
