小さな村の物語

小さな世界遺産の村、五箇山相倉集落

On a village house trapped in snow, icicles sparkle as they catch the light - nature's artwork!

Thin, flat Udon noodles (left) and Tempura made of local mountain vegetables (right)! Simple and delicious food warmed me up.

When I arrived in Ainokura Village, it was cold with sleeting rain. I could see the mountains covered with snowy clouds only sometimes, which looked like a ink-wash painting.

She must be a tourist! She was walking very carefully so she didn't get trapped in the deep snow.

This small village is surrounded by mountains, and it used to be quite isolated until roads and tunnels were put in place

When you climb for five minutes from the parking lot you'll reach an observation deck which commands the view of 27 houses in the village

The village doesn't have enough land to be used for agricultural purposes!

Sleet is gradually changing into large flakes of snow

２０１５年２月８日小さな世界遺産の村、五箇山菅沼から本日の宿泊地相倉に入った。

本日の天気予報は生憎の雨後雪。夕刻近くになって冷え込み次第に雪に変わって来た。ここは同じ合掌集落の世界遺産でも、知名度が高い岐阜県の白川郷とは比較すべくもなく、とてもコンパクトな集落でひっそりとしている。和紙、煙硝製造、養蚕業を営み、人里と隔絶して生きて来た五箇山合掌造り集落。この小さな村の物語を聴きながら贅沢な一時を過ごした！
