@@irfansazlan4096 In Shirakawago, snow falls from December to March.
Even ordinary cars have no problem if they have snow tires.
If you are renting a car, select winter tires.
On snowy roads, sudden braking, sudden steering, and sudden starting are strictly prohibited.
Have fun driving!

@@DrivingJapan thanks for the reply!😊
And one more thing, is the four seasons tires okay?

@@irfansazlan4096 I think I can go with 4 season tires.
But after all it is an all-season tire.
Compared to snow tires specialized for snowy roads.
Snow tires can stop safely even if you run on a snowy road in winter at 80km / h.
It is equivalent to a tire chain.
What really scares me is when I run on ice without snow.
The feeling of security is different if it is a snow tire.
