This Photo Is Not Of Nyasirimbi Village In Nyamira
[ad_1]
A photo that was shared on Twitter purporting to be of Nyasirimbi village in Nyamira County is false. The photo was shared by a Twitter user on Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at around 9.31AM. It was retweeted and shared many times from his timeline.
A reverse image search on Google reveals that the photo is, actually, of the ancient village of Shirakawa-go located in the Shogawa River Basin of Gifu Prefecture in Japan.
According to an article published by Trip101, the Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go (and Gokayama) are the scene for the popular anime Higurashi no Naku Goro ni (English: “When They Cry”), and the location has also been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Trip101 reports that Shirakawa-go is a village of only 2,000 people, but since becoming a World Heritage Site, the number of tourists has increased rapidly. According to the Shirakawa-go town hall, in 2013, 1,230,000 people visited, and 70,000 people stayed overnight.
