Shirakawago Light Up 2025 Shirakawago holds an annual winter-only light-up event. Strolling through the village of gassho-style buildings (unique-to-Shirakawago buildings), covered with snow and lit by warm light, you must feel like you are in another world.
Snow Playing Snow slider Play on several types of sleds on natural slopes. Depending on the sled you choose and the slope, you can enjoy relaxing or thrilling sledding! Snow shoe trekking The facility staff will give you a detailed lecture on how to use snowshoes and poles, so even first-timers can enjoy the exhilaration of walking on the snow and running down the slopes.
