Gokayama
Gokayama (Jepang: 五箇山) adalah suatu wilayah dalam kota Nanto di Prefektur Toyama, Jepang. Gokayama telah ditetapkan dalam Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO berkat rumah-rumah tradisionalnya, gasshō-zukuri, bersama Shirakawa-gō berdekatan di Perfektur Gifu.[1] The survival of this traditional architectural style is attributed to the region's secluded location in the upper reaches of the Shōgawa river. This is also the reason that Gokayama's lifestyle and culture remained very traditional for many years after the majority of the country had modernized. Many of the houses surpass 300 years in age.[2]
