What a lovely village. I am not sure there are any artisans that can install a thatch roof in my region, not to mention the materials needed. It is so adorable on a cottage though. Thanks.
Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture is also famous for its thatched-roof houses. Incidentally, these houses are very flammable, so fire drills are always held every year in these preservation plots.
@@channel-en9if primary school children learn about that and are encouraged to force their families to practice at home. A full fire drill at home...lol.

In these villages, the fire drill itself can become a tourist attraction.
