Ainokura is a nostalgic village with 20 "Gassho-zukuri" thatched-roof houses where people still live today. Surrounded by high mountains and often buried in heavy snow during winter, the village preserves a quintessential Japanese rural landscape. The sight of these sturdy houses glowing during nighttime light-up events is mystical, showcasing a harmonious blend of traditional culture and nature.
