About this event
A reservation-only winter illumination event where the UNESCO World Heritage site Shirakawa-go Ogimachi Gassho-zukuri Village is enveloped in fantastical winter light. In 2027, it will be held across 4 days: January 11 (Mon/Holiday), January 17 (Sun), January 24 (Sun), and January 31 (Sun). The venue is the Ogimachi district of Shirakawa Village, Ono District, Gifu Prefecture, and lighting hours are from 17:30 to 19:30 each day. The sight of the snowscape and warm lights illuminating the thatched roofs of the gassho-zukuri houses is breathtaking. Advance reservation and an admission ticket are required for participation, and there are no same-day ticket sales. Because the village stroll admission ticket does not permit entry to the observation deck, visitors wishing to view from the observation deck must choose an option that includes deck access. Please note that whether you can access the observation deck depends on your reservation method. Participation requires a bus reservation or use of the parking lot reservation service.
