The staff was helpful but the town closed at 9PM for all services or shops or restaurants.

Self checking in in the rooms and quick responses on the booking app for any doubt. The rooms were well equiped and toilet was spectacular.

Nothing just perfect

Its clean, location is perfect, very comfortable.

Stayed in March 2024

There was no hanging space for wet towels, only one chair and no table if you wanted to eat in. They did have a kettle in the room and microwave it the communal area. Only two sachets of sugar for two people, not nearly enough if you’re a sweet tooth.

Close to the historic site of Shirakawa go although we had a car and only a couple minutes drive. Although there were no staff attending, we had no issues checking in as communication was excellent via email messages. Very and clean.

Location is outside the historical center, profile picture of stay could be misleading.

The room was nice including bathroom. Very comfy bed as well. Make sure you pack plenty of snacks, there is a small convenience store, but basically all restaurants, apart a few exceptions, are closed. Also the ones who should be open won’t bother doing so if nobody is there (we went to a place which according to the hotel would be open until 9pm at it was already closed at 7.30pm).

Nothing to dislike

The property was in a nice location quite close to the UNESCO world heritage site. The room was very clean and comfortable and bathroom well stocked.Also close to Tenkara restaurant which was excellent for dinner.

It’s a 15 minute walk from the bus station along a big road. Thankfully it’s not uphill but still quite a long way with luggage. It’s not in the old village that everyone wants to visit.

It was clean and comfortable. Also it’s near the only restaurant that’s open to non-guests in the evening in Shirakawago. If you are staying here make sure you reserve a table at Tenkara or your only option will be the convenience store.

Absolutely beautiful location and house. We were able to get a very early start and go over to Shirakawago Go before any buses had arrived. This whole area was beautiful and the mountains are lovely. The twin beds were huge and the bathrooms and rooms in general were very large and well stocked.

It's too far from the bus station. And we had to walk with our luggages. It's very hard for us.

Everything. The comfortable room, the amenities, the surrounding etc.

Parking, big room, close to everything

It's quite far from the village/bus station, and the available bus service operates at infrequent intervals.

The room is tidy, and despite the absence of on-site staff, the host promptly responds to messages and accommodates requests. There is a microwave for heating food. There is a maintenance guy who clears snow along the walk way. Huge help during winter.

Owner was very kind in providing pre-stay information prior to my stay. Response was very quick before and during my stay. During night, requested for extra pillows and owner provided it instantly. Room was very clean and simple.

The hotel location is good. 8 mins walk to restaurant, and 12 mins walk to convenience store. The room is big and modern, facilities are prepared. Self check-in.

Would be the room temperature. We understand it’s in winter but the moment we stepped into the room was like entering a fridge. Took us a long while to get warm enough to fall asleep… hope the hotel can consider having insulation facilities installed.

The cozy interior of common area, which allows us to take a break from freezing weather after arriving at the hotel. The idea of self check in was good. No need to go through a waiting process upon arrival.

There are few little points to improve.

We found that hotel for the last day of Shirakawago Light up event. We were very happy about this. The staff give us a lot of useful information, shuttle bus and even tickets. Despite of the location is a little bit far but the hotel provides all of quality services. Everything is well organized.

There is not much going on in the surrounding areas and we couldn’t even find a vending machine. Hotel was bit pricey.

Brand new hotel, very clean and comfortable. The walk to shirakawa was pretty

My recent stay at CURIO Shirakawago was a serene escape into tranquility. The charming hotel, nestled in the heart of picturesque Shirakawago, surpassed expectations. The two complimentary biscuits in the room were a delightful surprise, offering a warm welcome.

My stay at CURIO Shirakawago was a delightful experience. The hotel's attention to detail, coupled with the provision of two complimentary biscuits, added a sweet touch to my visit. The amenities provided were thoughtful, enhancing the overall comfort and enjoyment of my stay. Highly recommended for those seeking a charming retreat in the heart of Shirakawago.

An extra pillow or a slightly larger pillow would help.

No breakfast but Koyama san was a big help. We were not aware that shuttle was provided until i received the email the day before. We were slightly delayed but Koyama san picked us as per the shuttle schedule from the bus stop for us to check in pick up our tickets and back to town for the show. After the winter light up, he waited for us from the nearest pick up point. He gladly stopped at a convenient store for us and upon seeing us with some food stuff, he went to the back of the van to get a plastic bag for us. How nice. And all these were done with the help of our respective phones for translating Japanese - English.

1. The property is easy to access on foot (almost 2km) to Shirakawa-go village, but in winter might be a but difficult to drag a luggage around. 2. Car park isn’t that friendly due to a big pile of snow almost half of the place. Luckily, I changed my plan not to drive. Instead, had to drag my 26 inches luggage from and to the bus station.

- The property is new, clean and comfy. - The room and bed are quite big with some space for big luggages (although 2 pax in). - Also like about power outlets which are quite a few more than typical hotel/ resort in Japan. There are USB and USB-C ports as well as normal outlets. - PJ provided 😍 - The welcome matcha cream crackers were very nice.

There wasn't anything we disliked about the place.

The accommodation was conveniently located and was exceptionally clean. Although minimal, we really enjoyed the warmth of the place and the view from the window, especially after it had snowed.
