Tour Overview

●

Our special event: World Heritage in the snow: Gokayama Suganuma Gassho Village illuminated at night

●

1,000 candles are lit, and the Gassho-style house is illuminated in five different colors, creating a dreamlike evening.

●

Watch the traditional performance "Gokayama Folk Dance (こきりこ节、ささら踊り)" at the outdoor performance stage

●

There will also be a 10th anniversary fireworks display

Don't miss the Gokayama Gassho-style illuminations!

Besides the renowned Shirakawa-go illuminations, Gokayama's Gassho-style houses are also a World Heritage site! However, because the gassho-style houses there aren't as densely packed, Gokayama's Gassho-style houses aren't as famous as Shirakawa-go's. The sparsely populated village feels like a hidden gem, possessing a magical, secluded charm.

Limited Time Only! The 10th annual illumination of the Gokayama Snow Viewing Area, a World Heritage site, "Fantasy no Akari," will be visible only from February 15th to 17th. To commemorate the event, several special events are being held this year. Approximately 1,000 candles will be lit on the snow walls along the path from the parking lot to Suganuma Village, creating a dreamlike experience. Even walking through the thick snow will bring a sense of warmth!

This year, a snowman sculpture area has been set up, featuring a variety of adorable snowmen, to accompany visitors on their 10th anniversary illuminations. It's both adorable and heartwarming!

On the way to the village, the snow-covered cherry trees are illuminated with pink lights, creating a beautiful scene resembling "cherry blossoms in the snow." The light projections create a scene reminiscent of cherry blossoms in full bloom. Even if you can't see the actual cherry blossoms in full bloom in winter, the light projections offer a different kind of beauty!

You can also enjoy a colorful light show on the Gassho-zukuri roofs, as well as the traditional Gokayama Folk Dance (Kokiriko Matsuri, Sara Odori). But be warned: this performance is outdoors and may be canceled in case of inclement weather!

Finally, the 10th annual fireworks display will be held, allowing you to enjoy the perfect fusion of the World Heritage Suganuma Village and the dazzling fireworks!
