My spouse and I were on vacation with our adult son. This was our favorite hotel in Japan (out of the six hotels we stayed at). It's not the easiest to get to - the hotel's shuttle times are limited (otherwise it's a 30 minute walk from the bus station; no taxis in town), but you can leave luggage in lockers or other paid storage at Shirakawa-go bus station (which is what we did). At the bus station, you are in walking distance to everything you would want to see in Shirakawa, whereas the hotel is not walking distance to anything. The shuttle driver was very nice and helpful, as were all of the hotel staff. They spoke decent English - we used a translation app for more complex conversation. You should absolutely book room with board (includes breakfast and dinner) since there are no restaurants open anywhere nearby in the evening. You can do this on Expedia, contrary to what another review said. The kaiseki dinner was lovely. Our room was the most spacious and comfortable room we had in Japan - it looked out over the mountains and river, which was beautiful. The hotel is very traditional - all of the hallways are lined with tatami mats and no outdoor shoes allowed. The onsen were beautiful and peaceful - a perfect way to end the evening. Although you could easily go to Shirakawa-go as a day trip from Kanazawa or Takayama, we're glad that we decided to spend the night there - this hotel was worth it!

Wonderful hotel with delicious meals

We stayed 3 nights. We had a room facing the river with two twin beds, a mall sofa and another small bed. The room was very clean and comfortable. Bathroom also very clean with a toilet room and shower. The hotel seems fairly new and is nicely decorated. The room was very quiet and had good air conditioning. A free shuttle will take you to the Shirakawa bus station (which is right near the gassho zukuri) and pick you up on a designated schedule. Many of the staff speak English. We got the breakfast and dinner included in our room plan and the meals were all delicious. Many dishes were new to us. A mix of beef and seafood. The third night’s dinner was amazing with sashimi, Hida beef sushi, and lobster hot pot (seems the more nights you stay the more amazing the food gets). The staff was very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this hotel if you want to stay in Shirakawa overnight but not do a farmhouse stay.

The room we stayed was on the 3rd floor room 310 and it is has 2 separate room. The big room can has like a king bed with tv. The other room has the 2 twin bed with living room couch, tv, bathroom and shower room. Our view was the river which was very beautiful. I wish that they provide more channels on the tv. The amenities are superb. The dining and breakfast is more on japanese food which is quite expensive. No washer and dryer in this facility. Will come back again

We loved it. We had a beautiful broom looking over the river. It was a spacious suite. We loved the clothes that came with staying in the Onsen. We had both suppers and breakfasts which were world class. The hot spring itself was a delightful surprise. The shuttle to get into town was convenient enough and we could always find a shuttle when we want to leave or come back. We spent two days there. I would go back in a heartbeat. The view looking over the river was spectacular. I’m not so sure if we had had a room looking out on the parking lot.

A must place to visit in Japan. Great ambience, delicious breakfast and dinner. Hot springs tub in private outdoors. Great place to hike with amazing view of small town from the top. Lots of gift shops and snack stores. Restaurants had long wait list. Air was clean, weather was perfect for T-shirt wear. During rain, there was a mist floating in the mountains. Love this place!!

The property is really nice and clean, but service is really slow . Took almost an hour from waiting for pickup to complete the check in process. The waitress forgot me after she seated me and gave me the littlei nitial introduction of the breakfast. She didn't come back to get the order of my choice until I waved a pass by staff after over 20 minutes wait. I had never experienced this kind of service in any ryokan I have been.

Located about a 30 min walk from the bus terminal, the hotel runs a silver van shuttle every 20 minutes or so. This is a newer hotel, but has many delightful traditional elements. The whole place has a tatami mat like flooring, so shoes are left in lockers upon entering. The lobby area is built with old looking timber in the style of gasho buildings. The rooms were wonderfully done with the nice smell of tatami. The baths are wonderful with both interior and outside tubs in a variety of styles. They offer up nice extras like popsicles, free coffee after baths, and a 10:00 PM bowl of ramen, wonderful after an evening soak in the hotsprings. They have dinner and breakfast options at the hotel, but you need to order when you make your reservation, not on the spot when you arrive. We didn’t and soon found the eating options in town are limited. We did manage to find a nice yakiniku shop a 20 min walk from the hotel (call and reserve ahead when you check in) The atmosphere of the hotel is wonderful and very much in the culture of ryokan.

Bad decision

Bad hospitality, worst breakfast, when I asked for a coffee they sent me to the public coffee machine. They didn't accepted our luggage after 11:00 am, and not to use the public bath after check out. They need to learn much more how to give nice hospitality for they're guests.

Oh dear where to begin. The stay was totally unnecessary and I would advise you to visit the gasso houses & town but then continue onwards to wherever you’re headed. Do not stay as The town offers nothing else. The hotel is a 50 room property with small public onsen. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed but furniture is very low. However it felt like a commercial people factory and I didn’t enjoy my stay despite the free ramen option 10-11pm or the free booze and snacks (very welcome and appreciated). Also the free shuttle to and from the station. Shirakawa-Go is a must see area (do make the climb to the observation area) but then it’s time to scarper and get out of dodge!!
