Best Shirakawa Hotels

"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!"

"LOVE this place!!! Room is clean and spacious, the beddings ever so soft and comfortable. They fed us very well during our stay too!!! Love those little deco resembling the grass houses. So cute!! Look at the view we had at breakfast!!! All staff speak very good English, all extremely attentive and sweet. They give out free ramen and popsicles for late evening snacks and yogurt drinks around breakfast time too. Very pleasant stay I must say. Would definitely stay there again if I am in the area."

"1) location is the best, very near to the station 2) view at the restaurant is amazing, there’s a river flow looking out the window and super serene when it was snowing 3) onsen is best as it allows everyone to use at any time of the day or night 4) breakfast and dinner are super yummy and delicious 5) front desk service is friendly, attentive and can speak English 6) they even give you a complimentary coffee 7) value for money"

"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！"

"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."

"The room was clean and beautiful. The food was rich and delicious. The owner was very welcoming and drove to the tram station to pick us up, which was very helpful. I would like to use it again next time."

"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."
