Shirakawa-go Light-Up Night Bus Tour from Takayama

Shirakawa-go, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. While the daytime scenery of the snow-covered gassho-zukuri houses is beautiful, when the winter night light-up event begins, the entire village transforms as if by magic. Waug introduces a special Night Bus Tour departing from Takayama that lets you experience this fantastic night.


A Mysterious Nighttime Shirakawa-go, Different from the Day

This tour departs from the Takayama Nohi Bus Center and is designed to let you comfortably enjoy the peak of the Shirakawa-go light-up. When the lights turn on over the dark village, the steeply-roofed gassho-zukuri houses glow golden, creating a mysterious atmosphere reminiscent of a fairytale Christmas village.


A Brilliant Spectacle at the Gassho-zukuri Minkaen

You can enjoy an even more fantastic display of light at the Gassho-zukuri Minkaen (Open-air Museum). The scenery, where snow and light harmonize perfectly, delivers an emotion so profound it feels like walking in a dream, making this special night even more memorable.

With comfortable, exclusive bus travel, you can enjoy the emotional Shirakawa-go light-up without the hassle of complicated transportation.
