previously I stayed at Takayama Ouan. Next trip, I'm staying at Hakuun Ryokan... I can't wait to go again! Photos all taken by my hubby...hehe 

if it's the light up event you are aiming for, usually once the dates are released and you should start booking already. You can email to the shirakawa-go tourism to help you book because most of the farmhouse owners does not have emails and calling them will be abit of problem too because they can't speak English, unless you can speak Jap.
