I would like to amend what i said earlier, it seems the light up festival will carry on as usual. Only the special bus is cancelled. Here's link to the announcement:

Since you are going to drive there you won't need the bus anyway. As for the date it just say January to February (No exact date mentioned).

Just a question, special bus meaning tour buses operated by tour agencies (japanican, yokoso Japan etc)?

Dear Ryuta89

Appreciated for your update and yes I am planning to visit Shirakawa Go by a private vehicle but Bus schedule (like Nohi Bus) is also important for my the 2nd option. I will check the link from you and hope they only cancel for the private buses not for Nohi Bus (public Bus).

Once again thank you so much for your update :) Have a great day

Hi,

Access to Shirakawa go you may still can access with their regular public buses from Kanazawa, Takayama,etc (As I read from the web). U can use Nohi Bus (pls check their website for the schedule).
Public Buses is still b operate to Shirakawa Go, only private n tour buses are cancelled due the crowded in Shirakawa Go during winter n Light Up.
