Chartering a car to the annual illumination event is a fantastic choice. The chartered car driver and guide, Master Zhao (Tony), is very professional in both driving and explanation. Not only does it save you the trouble of transferring between vehicles, but you can also visit Takayama Old Town before heading to Shirakawa-go!

Very good, guide drive very safely, and the village is so beautiful and cinematic. Worth to go. Luckily, the tour members are very kind and helpful so we make it outside the cold weather, should come once in a lifetime experience, not many peoplein the light up festival as I thought. The weather is cold, but warm heart. Recommend visit one in a lifetime, it’s beautiful in every season!

Visiting the long-awaited Gassho Village definitely lived up to expectations. The "Gassho-style" houses, bearing the marks of time, were draped in thick white snow, and from afar, they resembled fairytale cottages, both cute and beautiful, making it well worth the visit!!

The Chinese-speaking driver for the entire trip was very nice, drove safely and quickly, adjusted rest stops as needed, and explained road conditions and tourist spots very clearly. It's really beautiful and worth it!

An unforgettable experience! The tour guide spoke fluent Mandarin. It was a group of 9 people, and everyone was on time, so the itinerary wasn't delayed. There was plenty of time, and I would recommend my friends to go.

The cabin illuminated by warm yellow lights, paired with the starry sky, is truly beautiful. It's a pity we didn't have tickets for the observation deck when it was lit, but it gives us a reason to visit again next time~~
