Gokayama – UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Some of the most notable sites in Nanto are the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Gokayama, an area characterized by its mountainous terrain and cut through by the Sho River that runs down to the Sea of Japan. The villages of Gokayama are located in remote valleys surrounded by mountains. Because of the limited access, the isolated area cultivated a unique culture, which has been passed down through the generations to this day.

Gokayama is home to 40 villages, including the UNESCO World Heritage gassho-zukuri villages of Ainokura and Suganuma, renowned for their traditional houses characterized by steep thatched roofs. Including nearby Shirakawa-go village, this area once counted at least 1,850 gassho-style structures, although fewer than 200 remain standing. To this day, there are still people in Ainokura and Suganuma living in traditional gassho-zukuri houses.

Two villages in Gokayama were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1995 along with Shirakawa-go’s Ogimachi village in nearby Gifu Prefecture. These villages were recognized as part of Japan’s cultural and natural heritage that needed to be preserved and protected. The designation was made official at the 19th UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Berlin, when they were added to the catalogue under the name “Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama – Traditional Houses in the Gassho Style,” consisting of the three historic settlements including Ogimachi in Shirakawa-go and both Ainokura and Suganuma, located in Gokayama, Nanto.

The villages met two of the six requirements to be considered a cultural heritage property: they have architecture representative of a period of importance, and they are traditional villages that are at risk of disappearing.

The area is known for its cherry blossoms in spring, while in summer the mountains and rice paddies turn a vivid green. Autumn is a popular time as well, as the red and yellow foliage on the mountains is striking. In winter, the Gokayama area receives as much as 2–3 meters of snow. The pristine snowfall in a landscape dotted with gassho-zukuri houses makes for a memorable view of Gokayama’s villages.

聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）世界遺產名錄之五箇山

五箇山作為UNESCO世界遺產，理所當然地成為南礪市最受矚目的名勝之一。其顯著的特徵有二——群巒疊嶂的地形，以及橫貫其間、匯入日本海的莊川。它位於眾山環抱下的僻靜溪谷中，受交通所限，這片與世隔絕的土地孕育出獨特的文化，並世代傳承至今。

五箇山擁有多達40座村莊，其中包括著名的相倉村落及菅沼村落。相倉、菅沼兩村落因傳統的「合掌造民居」而聞名，並相繼被錄入UNESCO世界遺產名錄。陡峭的結構及茅草苫制的屋頂彰顯這類民居的別緻。包括附近的白川鄉村落在內，這片區域曾擁有至少1850棟合掌造建築，而留存至今的則不足200棟。如今在相倉及菅沼，仍有居民生活於傳統合掌造民居中。部分民居還可提供住宿服務，這樣的「世界遺產住宿」體驗著實不容錯過。

五箇山與鄰近的岐阜縣的白川鄉荻町地區，於1995年被一同列入UNESCO世界遺產名錄，成為全日本第六件世界遺產。其後，更獲得《米其林綠色指南日本2009（法語版）》三星級，即最高評價。在柏林舉辦的第19屆UNESCO世界遺產委員會上，五箇山及荻町地區以其無與倫比之姿，被認定為需保存、保護的日本文化遺產，並被正式列入名錄。「白川鄉、五箇山合掌造村落」由白川鄉的荻町，以及位於南礪市五箇山的相倉、菅沼等三座村落共同構成，並以世界遺產之名共同載入史冊。

這些村落具備了文化遺產六要素之其二：一，重要時代的代表建築；二，瀕臨消亡的傳統村落。

此地因爭相綻放的春櫻聞名遐邇，而夏季，群山與稻田被抹上鮮艷亮麗的翠綠。秋季為眾山迎來紅黃交織的紅葉，搖身化作最具人氣的一個季節。待到冬季，整片五箇山地區將被深達2至3公尺的積雪所覆蓋。合掌造民居每家每戶堆積起的純白積雪，將五箇山村落的難忘之景深深印入眾人內心。與遊客絡繹不絕的白川鄉相比，五箇山的山村風景則更顯質樸純粹。
