Hi

I like to visit Shiragawago when I am in Japan in Feb 2016. How can I include a day trip when I am in Tokyo?

Thank you.

That is pretty much impossible. It takes too long to get there and back. It would be better to stay a night in the vicinity. The only other option is to take a plane which is far too expensive IMO.

I recommend overnight trip to Takayama to see both Takayama and Shirakawago

You can do this tour

or just use the Nohi Bus

Hope this helps!!
Have fun!

You can do it, but it's a long day.

Take the 9:32am Shinkansen Kagayaki 507 from Tokyo station arriving at Kanazawa station at 12:06pm.

Go to the Nohi Bus terminal just outside the Kanazawa train station, and buy a ticket for the 12:45pm bus to Shirakawa-go. Arrive at Shirakawa-go at 2:10pm.

Spend 3 hours at Shirakawa-go (which in my own personal opinion is long enough) and then take the 5:30pm bus back to Kanazawa arriving at Kanazawa station at 6:45pm.

Catch the 6:51pm Shinkansen Kagayaki 514 back to Tokyo station, arriving at 9:19pm. Or you could catch the 7:39pm Shinkansen Kagayaki 516 arriving in Tokyo at 10:12pm.
