Night-time illumination has been turned on in Shirakawa Village in Gifu Prefecture, where a cluster of traditional thatched-roof farmhouses are preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
40 thatched-roof houses, including structures designated as an important national cultural asset, were lit up as night fell on Saturday in the annual event that began 24 years ago.
About 5,000 tourists showed up to see a fantastic view of snow-covered houses lit up in the darkness.
A woman from Tokyo said the illumination is so beautiful that she doesn't care about the snowy cold weather. She was moved to see such nice scenery.
6 more lighting events are scheduled on weekends until February 20th.
