you should rent bikes if you don’t provide shuttle after 12

Very clean and a great place for families to get away.

Extremely Disappointing Stay – Beware of Misleading Photos and Restaurant Fully Booked. I regret to say that my recent stay at this hotel was a massive letdown. Despite the many photos of the village in the listing, this hotel is not in the village. The hotel is located nearly a 25-minute walk from the historic village, but the photos misleadingly suggest it's part of the scenic village. Adding to the frustration, the hotel operates a restaurant which, unbeknownst to us until arrival, requires prior reservations for dining. As newcomers unaware of this policy, we were turned away both for dinner and breakfast. This policy is unreasonable and inhospitable, especially considering the lack of any alternative dining options within a 15-minute walk and the absence of taxis in the town. The lack of basic hospitality and the sheer disregard for my family’s need to eat was a first for me in many years of travel. It felt like the hotel prioritizes extracting every penny from tourists rather than providing a successful stay. For a place that could capitalize on its potential in a beautiful setting like Shirakawago, it sadly chooses instead to disappoint and disillusion its guests. I would strongly advise potential visitors to consider other accommodations that value their guests and understand the essence of hospitality.

Amazing staff

Beautiful hot springs, with nice rooms and kept us well fed. We loved the provided lounge wear and was a great experience on our trip.

The amenities

Comfortable stay. Room was clean and well appointed. Though tatami mats were not real. Overall Ryokon feel but more scaled down, but stylish ways. For example, people are asked to walk with socks or no socks within the properties without slippers. Flower arrangements were fake plastic. Dining was in the restaurant rather than in the room. Food was plenty and aesthetically beautiful and was well thought out. Some were repetitive ( I stayed 2 nights). Bath was not spacious but had varied bath and enjoyable. liked it over all.

There were no option for dinner in the hotel or around the area. It was pouring outside and there were no transportation to go to the only opened restaurant that was a half hour walk, in the snow and rain. The only options for late night food were noodles, but they were cooked in shrimp and my husband is terribly allergic to shellfish. Even the cup noodles we bought at their convenience store had shrimp, so we didn’t eat from the time we arrived in the late afternoon until the next day when the restaurants opened at 11am.

just a 5min drive (2.1km) from Shirakawago. The whole hotel is tatami mat and guests are requires to lock their shoes in the lockers upon entering. Hence, the compound is very clean. The room big and spacious. Highly recommend booking the dinner as it’s really value for money. There’s a public onsen as well as 2 private ones a which can be used on first come first served basis

The onsen is outstanding, it provided several kinds of hotspring facilities with panoramic view to river and mountain. Both dinner and breakfast are very tasty in Japanese style. It will be good to provide pick up service from Shiragawago Bus Centre, otherwise customer need to walk 20 minutes which is difficult, especially in rain or snow.
