A panoramic view of the World Heritage Site
During my two-day stay in Shirakawa-go, I made sure to visit Hakusan Tenshukaku Observatory twice. The first visit was during regular hours, but the real magic was experienced during a peaceful early morning visit, free from the crowds.
With favorable weather, the walk up to the observatory summit was enjoyable. If you're planning a trip to Shirakawa-go, I highly recommend adding this summit to your itinerary for its breathtaking panoramic views of the World Heritage village.
