It's quite green already in spring. The weather is still relatively cool though because of the mountains.

Several of the preserved farmhouses have been converted to small folk museums.

Not sure when exactly you will be going in spring but we read that Shirakawa-go still looks quite barren during the first half of April and would only start to turn green during May when rice is being planted.

From the weather pattern this April it seemed to be still fairly cold during early April with the lowest temperature dropping below zero in certain dates although no snow was recorded.

Below is the annual sunrise/sunset chart for Takayama. My guess is that it should not be too far off for Shirakawa-go which can be reached by bus from Takayama in less than an hour.

On a short visit, the farmhouse-turned museum of Wada-ke in Shirakawa-go is a popular destination.

For a longer stay Gassho-zukuri Minka-en is an open-air folk village/museum.
