It felt like a premium experience. The room was bigger than expected which felt good. The onsen had a lot of options such as a sauna and cold dip among more.

This was the nicest stay ata hotel I have had in Japan, and one of my top stay experiences ever - and I travel a lot - over 100 countries so far. The room was impeccable - traditional yet comfortable for Westerners, with Westen style beds, with a lovely view. The private onsen was designer standard - wouldn’t be out of place in an interior design magazine- and unbelievable view over the river. The food - unbelievable - all local ingredients and even the liquor on offer either home made or local - simple but tasting fantastic. And perhaps the best part are the staff - a true family business and everyone so kind and helpful. Felt like staying with friends rather than a commercial property. I can’t recommend it enough. Simply world class.

great location - close to bus station. The Japanese breakfast and dinner were a unique and special experience. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The mineral water baths were wonderful. Well worth the experience. Shirakawa is a very beautiful location with lots of history, peaceful and well-presented village.

The hotel is clean and quiet, and the staff are exceptional - the gentleman at the reception who is also driving the shuttle van was very patient with us and made our stay very pleasant. He took very good care of us and made sure we had a taxi picking us up whenever we needed it, explained what we were eating at breakfast, and how to do it properly.

    Location was absolutely fantastic and only a short drive to the Shirakawago heritage sites. The onsens were also lovely and the surroundings were quite special. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and we had a great view from the room. All the ryokan esque facilities (lounge wear, free beverages etc) all topped it off. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    The room was very big and the hotel was perfect. The onsen is also very nice and inside the hotel there are some activities such as wearing a yukata or late noodles in the night which are already included on the price.
