If you are heading to Shirakawago from Osaka and Kyoto area, Washokuju- sakura would be a great halfway point to stay.
On 30th Jan. I had guests Leo and his mother from China.  They stopped at Washokuju Sakura on the way to Shirakawago from Osaka by rental car.They spend  a night and went shopping at Don Quijote where you can find almost anything.They arrived late at night but he told me that it was easy to access. I had a great time with them talking about Japanese garbage system, this year's Chinese Zodiac, and so on.  I was glad to hear they enjoyed staying here! Hope to see them again! Thank you Leo and mom!     <Shirakawago info>  The light up event is held from this weekend until 16th Feb. every Sunday.  You need to make a reservation to join.
