Suganuma Village, Traditional mountain village in Gokayama, Japan.
The village contains nine gassho-zukuri houses with steep thatched roofs designed to support large amounts of snow during winter months.
The village structures were constructed between 1830 and 1920, with most buildings rebuilt after a major fire in 1891.
Local families maintained silkworm cultivation and saltpeter production traditions in their multi-story wooden houses through generations.
The village welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours explaining the architectural features of traditional Japanese mountain houses.
The village structures incorporate specific construction techniques from Noto Peninsula carpenters who developed methods for heavy snow conditions.
