Beautiful traditional hotel in Shirakawa. Structure is quite new and mix tradition and modern. Rooms are spacious and with all comforts. 24h onsen available, including drinks and snacks. Traditional dinner and breakfast available, which is a must to try. Staff is good and always try to help on anything. Shuttle bus from Shirakawa bus stop / traditional village.

Perfect location to visit the village, in front of the supermarket and 10 minutes to the bus station. The owners are very kind and easy going, they provide towels and there is coffee and a fridge you can use

Good facilities.

Beautiful hotel, with the view on the water. Traditional and very quiet for relaxation. The price is worth it with the dinner included since there is nothing open at night for dinner. Nice Onsen. I will come back!

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.

The hosts were super friendly and welcoming. The guesthouse has a nostalgic flare, lots of wood, great atmosphere. We had ordered a veggie dinner and breakfast, and all was home made and good. We arrived after dark and after hours of rain on our motorbikes, and the hosts let us dry our gear in the main room which is much appreciated. // Our host also told us about the mountain road ahead which is forbidden for motorcycles. We were gutted but very happy he told us so we could plan our next day accordingly. // I would certainly stay again!

The host lady is very friendly. Though she doesn't speak English, she kept checking on us and made sure we had everything we needed The dinner portion set was huge, I was very full by the time I finished my meal. The highlight of the dinner meal is the charcoal grilled fish that she had prepared about 1 to 1.5 hours before the dinner served. The vegetables tempura are soooo yummy as well as the vegetable soup. The room is spacious and could easily accommodate a family of 4. The kimono set is provided along with other toiletries. Our bed was made of 2 layers of futton, and I should have asked one more futton to add extra comfort. It was a bit too hard for my back. I would recommend trying the bed when you arrive and checking if you need more layers. Don't wait till you go to bed, as you won't be able to ask the host as she has gone upstairs sleeping. Location wise, only 7 mins walking up from Ainokuraguchi bus stop. You will find the village is very charming and serene, not too crowded by tourists, the reason we chose this location to experience the real Japanese country life. In the morning, around 7.30 ish, there was a sound of gong, hit with longer intervals then followed by intense ringing bells from the Shrine-liked house just behind the house. The toilet is super duper modern equipped with all sensors that allow you to do and finish your business without hassle. The toilet seat opens automatically when you come in the cubicle. Once you get off, it flushes down, and soon after, the seat will close. We have seen this smart toilet before somewhere in Japan, but we weren't expecting to find it in this traditional Japanese home deep into the highlands. Thank you so much for the host lady for providing such a great experience for us.

The host family is very welcoming, the home has so much history and makes you feel a part of something special. It was an amazing experience especially with the host sharing all her knowledge on the local area and the food that was made for us, foraged from the mountain. An amazing experience that will not be forgotten .
