Guest Houses in Shirakawa

The owner and the female staff is very welcoming and friendly. Owner took initiative in helping out, eg. offering extra towel, blanket, making guest green tea when he/she is staying at common room area, helping guest figuring out bus arrangements, turning up room temperature when guest is back to the guesthouse, offering a ride to Shirakawago village when it is raining. Owner can communicate English well. I also have a great time talking with the Japanese female staff (our conversation is combine of basic English and Japanese, it was fun). Location is nice too considering it is about 5 min walk to Hatogaya bus stop and 15-20min walk to Shirakawago village. Wifi is good too. One of the things I like is that there's a female toilet and a male toilet (gender-separated). Clean everywhere. Room (bunk bed) is good size and bed is comfortable. Comfortable common room area. I enjoyed my stay there very much.

It was just amazing I came there and it was a bit of an unplanned trip. The host was so caring and helpful The food at the restaurant was great Even drove me to the onsen for me to just enjoy my stay I will come again!!! My stay there made my stay 100 % better making me wish to come back again.

The house is really nice and the inside is big with everything you need. It also has a nice view. Very kind owners who are willing to help you if needed.

Good quality with a spacious common area and a well equipped kitchen. The host was friendly, welcoming, and clearly cared about his guesthouse to a high standard. We felt right at home and he cleared the snow from our car windows too which was very thoughtful.

The absolute loveliest stay I’ve had in Japan. What a delight the hosts are - Glenda is an absolute gem and the loveliest. She used to tour around Japan as a singer! If you’re lucky enough, you can get her to sing a bit for you. Her husband is an incredibly talented chef and cooked us a huge and wonderful dinner - probably the best food I’ve had in Japan. Strong recommend!

very nice Host that helps you with everything and provides a nice breakfast. there is a good restaurant at 15 minutes walk and very nice onsen at 30 minutes walk.
