点评:We visited early in the morning on a weekend.
Although smaller than Shirakawa-go, Suganuma Village felt more connected to everyday life, with a simple, authentic charm.
There are two parking areas.
We first parked near the village and explored on foot. Although some paths are unpaved, the area is relatively flat and relatively easy to explore in a wheelchair.
We then drove to the observation area parking lot, where a kind attendant told us we didn’t need to pay again since we had already paid at the village parking lot.
An elevator takes you down to a tunnel, which opens up to a beautiful view of the traditional gassho-zukuri houses.
Turning right leads to Suganuma Village, but we decided to explore the path to the left as well.
Along the way, we came across a sign warning of bears. We didn’t see anyone else along the way, which made us a little nervous!
Still, it was fascinating to see a reconstruction of the traditional basket ferry once used to cross the Sho River. It offered a glimpse into how people lived and traveled in this remote mountain region long ago.
Further along, we came across some abandoned gassho-zukuri buildings, and beyond them was a suspension bridge spanning the Sho River.
The view from the bridge was absolutely breathtaking. The deep green waters of the river, surrounded by lush mountains, created a truly spectacular landscape.
Suganuma offers much more than its UNESCO World Heritage village. From traditional architecture and fascinating local history to stunning river scenery, it is a wonderful place to explore.
I would love to return in a different season.
翻译:我们在周末清晨前往参观。
虽然规模比白川乡小,但菅沼村给人的感觉更贴近日常生活,有着质朴而真实的魅力。
这里有两个停车场。
我们首先把车停在村庄附近,然后步行游览。虽然有些小路并未铺砌,但地势相对平坦,坐轮椅也能较为轻松地游览。
随后我们又开车前往观景台停车场。一位和蔼的服务员告诉我们,由于我们已经在村子的停车场付过费了,所以无需再付费。
乘电梯下到隧道后,眼前便出现了传统合掌造房屋的美丽景致。
向右走可到达菅沼村,但我们决定也去探索一下左边的路径。
途中,我们看到了一个警示有熊出没的牌子。一路上都没见到其他人,这让我们有点紧张呢!
不过……能够看到曾经用来横渡庄川河的传统竹编渡船的复原模型,真是令人着迷。这让我们得以一窥很久以前,人们在这片偏远的山区是如何生活与旅行的。
再往前走,我们发现了一些废弃的合掌造建筑,而在它们背后则有一座横跨庄川河的吊桥。
从桥上看到的景色简直美得令人窒息。河水呈深绿色,四周环绕着茂密的群山。这里造就了真正令人叹为观止的景观。
须蟹沼的魅力远不止其被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录的村落。从传统建筑和有趣的当地历史,到绝美的河景,这里都是一个值得探索的绝佳之地。
我真希望能在不同季节再来一次。
