Hello,
It is possible to go for a day trip from Tokyo, although you would not have much time for sightseeing. I really would not recommend this daytrip because Shirakawa is a beautiful place that may be best enjoyed if you have some more time.

For your information:
You can take an early highway bus from Shinjuku and arrive in in Takayama by 12:35. From Takayama you can take a bus to Shirakawa and arrive by 13:40. Unfortunately the last bus from Takayama back to Shinjuku departs at 16:00 (in March) so you will only be able to enjoy Shirakawa until the bus from Shirakawa to Takayama departs at 14:35 (1 hour).

For highway bus timetable and information see link below:

From Takayama you can take a bus to Shirakawa, see link:

I hope this can help you and have a nice trip!
