Shirakawa-go and Chinese milk vetch.
The Chinese milk vetch flower is Gifu's prefectural flower. The houses in the background are in the "Historic Village of Shirakawa-go," a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gifu Prefecture. The traditional style of these houses is adapted to the natural environment in Shirakawa, which is often hit by heavy snowfall in winter.
