The Shirakawa-go Winter Light-Up is one of Japan's most magical winter spectacles, open to the public on only four designated dates each year (January 12, January 18, January 25, and February 1 in 2026). For four short nights, tourists from all over the world flock to witness this event, making tickets and reservations highly sought after. On these rare evenings, the snow-covered gassho-style village is illuminated by twinkling lights, as if time has stopped in a fairy tale world. Witnessing this scene firsthand is not just a travel memory, but an unforgettable winter night miracle. This tour departs from Nagoya, offering a daytime exploration of Takayama's old town, known as "Little Kyoto of Hida," before arriving in Shirakawa-go in the evening to enjoy the light-up. No need to worry about reservations or transportation, as the entire journey is accompanied by a Chinese-speaking driver-guide, making it easy to seize this precious experience available only four days a year.
