Product Info

The special illumination event, held only on limited winter days at the UNESCO World Heritage Shirakawa-go Gassho-zukuri Village, is returning this year!
 
Why not join this special event on a bus tour from Kanazawa?
There are 6 dates in 2024! Since 2019, it has become a reservation-only event, making it difficult for everyone to visit easily, but with this bus tour, you can easily see the Shirakawa-go illumination by booking your spot.
 
The bus is scheduled to arrive at Shirakawa-go at 16:00, so you can also enjoy Shirakawa-go during the day before the illumination.
Dinner will be a Hoba Miso set meal featuring plenty of mountain delicacies at 'Hakusuien'.
Please enjoy the magical snowy world created by the illumination on the snow-covered Gassho-zukuri houses.
