点评:I only became aware of this picturesque village from YouTube. Popular Japan-focused channels like "Abroad in Japan" and "Japan by Food" devoted segments to this enticing, self-preserved Shangri-La. The videos motivated my husband and me to visit as a half-day trip from Takayama. It was pretty easy to reserve a bus seat for the 45-minute drive through the lower Japanese Alps. We just made the reservation the day before.
The round-trip ride cost ¥5,600 per person. The bus departed from Takayama Bus Center and dropped us off at a tiny terminal building in a parking lot at the northern end of town. Everything Instagrammable was within walking distance, so 2-1/2 hours was the ideal duration for our visit. The village is populated with Gassho-style houses built without nails from wooden beams with steep slopes and thatched roofs.
They're uniformly designed into triangular shapes to look like a priest's hands meeting in prayer. The first thing to do is to walk up the hill to the observation deck to get a great panoramic view. Once we walked down to the main road, we made a few key stops we recommend. One was Kondou Shoten for a uniquely tasty sake-infused soft serve cone. Another was Kyoshu Coffee Shop for the rich lemonade layer cake and a latte.
Definitely enter the Binen-yumeromu Museum where you can experience the inside of a Gassho-style house and appreciate the concentrated effort to insulate it from inclement weather. You also get a nice view from the third floor. If you make it all the way to the Three Houses, congratulations, it's probably time to head back to the bus. Unless you planned to stay overnight. Not us though. We had laundry to do back in Takayama.
翻译:我是在YouTube上了解到这个风景如画的村庄的。像“Abroad in Japan”和“Japan by Food”这样的热门日本频道,都专门为这个迷人而又宁静的世外桃源做了专题报道。这些视频促使我和丈夫从高山出发,进行了一次半日游。预订45分钟穿越日本阿尔卑斯山脉下部的巴士座位非常容易。我们前一天就订好了。
往返票价为每人5600日元。巴士从高山巴士中心出发,把我们送到城镇北端停车场的一个小型终点站。所有适合拍照打卡的地方都在步行距离内,所以两个半小时是我们理想的游览时间。村里居住着合掌式房屋,这些房屋没有用钉子,采用木梁建造,坡度陡峭,屋顶是茅草。
它们统一设计成三角形,看起来像是神父双手合十祈祷的样子。首先要做的事情是爬上山坡,到观景台欣赏壮丽的全景。下到主路后,我们去了几个值得推荐的景点。一是近藤商店,品尝了口味独特的清酒软冰淇淋。二是京州咖啡店,品尝了浓郁的柠檬水千层蛋糕和拿铁。
一定要去“备念梦梦博物馆”,在那里你可以体验合掌式房屋的内部,欣赏人们为了抵御恶劣天气而付出的努力。你也可以从三楼欣赏到美丽的景色。如果你一路走到了三家,恭喜你,现在大概该回巴士了。除非你打算在这里过夜。不过我们不是。我们回高山后还要洗衣服。
