Yoshiro (Ogimachi Village, Shirakawago)
Yoshiro is the minshuku that I stayed in every time I went to Shirakawago. It's simply the greatest experience I've had in Japan. I highly recommend Yoshiro to anyone visiting Ogimachi.

Ōno District, Gifu
Ōno District, Gifu is a district of Japan in Gifu Prefecture. The district is in a mountainous region near the geographic centre of Japan. Prior to 1 February 2005, the district comprised seven small communities, but on that day six of them merged into the expanded city of Takayama. Ōno district now contains only the village of Shirakawa, which is declining to merge with any municipality.
Miboro Dam
Miboro Dam is a dam in Takayama, in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan. It supports a 215 MW hydroelectric power station. The dam flooded several villages and shrines, submerging them completely, two cherry trees were taken from one of the submerged shrines and placed in Shirakawa-go where it's said that each petal represents a memory from someone who lived in the villages before they were flooded.
These are some bigger and more relevant cities in the wider vivinity of Hirase.
