What to see in Shirakawa
Walk through Suiraku-en
Suiraku-en is a strolling garden within Nanko Park in Shirakawa. Completed in 1995, it was designed and built by Obayashi Corporation and is managed by the Shirakawa City Urban Development Corporation.
The garden follows a kaiyū-style layout, designed to unfold gradually as you walk. Rather than viewing it from a single point, follow the paths through the grounds and let each section reveal a different perspective. Its walking-focused design makes Suiraku-en a natural place to explore at an unhurried pace.
Visit the Auschwitz Peace Museum Japan
The Auschwitz Peace Museum Japan is devoted to preserving the memory of Auschwitz and the Nazi era. Its exhibitions present original materials connected with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, built by Germany, together with documents and objects from the period of the Nazi regime.
Operated by the nonprofit organization Auschwitz Peace Museum, the museum offers a place for reflection through its historical materials and displays. It brings this difficult history into the setting of Shirakawa, giving visitors an opportunity to engage with the subject through preserved evidence and personal contemplation.
