The traditional gasshozukuri architecture is an architectural style still practiced in Japan in locations like Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture. This type of construction, seen exclusively in regions that see heavy snowfall, features a steeply pitched roof to prevent snow buildup. Smoke from the sunken hearth at the center of family life rises up along the roof, warming the rooms on all floors.
