Best Shirakawa Hotels

"The room was unusually spacious for Japan, complete with a genkan, and had a distinctly Japanese aesthetic. From the moment you enter, it's a shoes-off environment throughout the hotel. There were also two private onsen baths with outdoor views, which immediately set a tranquil mood – it would be even better in winter! Complimentary food and drinks were a fantastic bonus: probiotic drinks during the day, ice pops and small desserts in the evening, plus late-night ramen. The hotel seems to understand its slightly remote location, so they are incredibly generous with these perks! It's a bit of a distance from Shirakawa-go, but there's a shuttle service to the bus station, which is a short walk away. Remember to snap a photo of the shuttle schedule. This place is definitely ideal for those traveling by car. The complimentary yukata rental was perfect for taking beautiful photos around the hotel!"

"The location is very good, the only hot spring hotel in Shirakawa Village. The hotel is very old, and the room I booked should have been renovated and is the best in the village, but compared with the price of 3,400 yuan, the cost performance is extremely low, perhaps because things are scarce and expensive during the snow season. Apart from the location, I don't recommend it overall"

"I made a temporary arrangement to go there a week before departure. Seeing that this accommodation experience was very different from ordinary hotels, I decided to take a gamble. I am really grateful for my choice! Take the Kono Bus and get off at Shirakawa-go (Ogimachi). Ask the staff at the tourist guide office to call the hotel and someone will drive to pick you up. It is very convenient and safe. The entire building space is high, the environment is comfortable and there are open window views. The scenery is very beautiful both indoors and outdoors. The service is good and there are few tourists. Bathing in the hot springs, walking in the nearby snow and playing in the snow feel like a private area. Most of the meals are locally produced and homemade, and the French dinner is very exquisite and delicious😋 Next time I want to come back in autumn and join a hiking group led by a local tour guide!"

"非常滿意的住宿體驗，晚餐跟次日早餐很美味，感受到料理人的細緻與細心，運用許多當地特有的食材，新鮮美味；雖然建築較老舊，但地板與家具擦得釉亮，廁所與浴室保持的非常乾淨，雖然地點較遠，但一路開車過來風景很宜人，窗外可看碧綠色的湖面，推薦！"

"This hotel has a good location and good service. It provides dinner, rich dinner and good breakfast. It is 10 kilometers away from Shirakawa Township and is suitable for car hire. It's very convenient to drive to all the attractions in 15 minutes"

"Booked a separate single bed room for men and women. It feels good to live in a room with three women or men who don't know. The homestay is clean, there is heating on snowy days, and it feels not cold. Staff enthusiasm. The surrounding environment is beautiful and it looks better on snowy days. There is a convenience store opposite."

"A 20-minute drive away from Shirakawa-go, the hotel facilities and services are okay, that is, there is no separate toilet in the room, only public toilets, there is a small hot spring bath, breakfast is very rich, and there is a Gassho in the opposite house."

"Nice Japanese breakfast. Strategic location to get around Gokayama and Shirakawa. In front of the hotel is the biggest Gassho style house in Japan that has a long history of being owned by samurais and where the emporia family had visited many times and is considered a cultural heritage of Japan.. I would go back to this hotel because of its location."

"The view from the room is very good, there is free coffee in the lobby, It happened that there was a show scheduled for the evening, The hot spring outside is accompanied by snow, very beautiful, very comfortable 👍🏻 It would be better if you had hot drinks."
