Notes from the last check
The official Shirakawa-go Tourist Association pages state four 2027 evening sessions (January 11, 17, 24 and 31, 17:30–19:30) and say the event is fully reservation-based; the event is confirmed, but venue, prices and last edition were not verified, and the official page also says it may be cancelled if a severe cold wave disrupts transport.
