The dinner and breakfast

Stayed in April 2024

Only down side, is we wished we stayed longer.

We had the most exquisite and unique breakfast and dinner experiences! We were both very impressed and honestly mind blown from the level of detail and thought that went into the visual presentation and plating of the food, and the flavours and textures! Staying at this ryokan was the highlight of our 3 week Japan trip! The rooms were large, comfortable and clean. They offered the most comfortable pajamas and free use of their Yukata. We really emersed ourselves into their culture by wearing this around the ryokan. The private Onsen was not hard to 'unofficially reserve'. Just pick your times, you may need to wait a little, but my goodness it was SO SO WORTH IT!!! Take into consideration 20 minute walk from the main bus stop to the ryokan, however the walk came with some picturesque views of Shirakawago. There is a shuttle bus offered by ryokan for travelling into the main town in the morning upon checkout, or if you are staying the day.

There is a limited time for drinks. The breakfast options isn't variety. The Internet is out the first night when there are many guests that night.

Public bath, ramen at night.

The cleanliness and onsen.

It’s very new but situated at the other end of the village area.

The breakfast and dinner in particular was excellent. I would recommend it on that basis alone.

Pricey, though it seems the whole village is very tourist oriented. Meals have to be reserved in advance, no flexibility with that or with the meal times (breakfast at 7am??)

Very well designed and maintained hotel. Super clean and d staff was very friendly. Onsen was nice, and the private one is open all night so that’s a plus.

Amazing location with dinner and breakfast (japanese style!) included free ramen late night and amazing public and private bath.

Beautiful location, friendly staff and a.nice resteraunt. The onsen is a delight and really makes great use.of the location... The free use of kimonos was a nice touch.

The private bath is a little bit smell

Every thing here is good, and there are lots of choice in the hotel

We were forced to have a really early breakfast at 7 am. The breakfast didn't include western options. The water inside the private onsen seemed dirty from other visitors.

Spacious rooms, location is very close to the touristic shirakawa go village (with a car and not by foot)

Super clean, spacious room and nice service! Amazing onsen with lovely traditional outfits!!!

-it seems to me they don't read the private messages in booking.com, I communicated a request but it wasn't done properly -it would have been more convenient if you can reserve the private baths

Love the food (make sure to book in advance, they don't do onsite reservation); I like the aesthetic, clean room and overall hotel facilities. Most of the staff can speak English.

Nothing!

Definitely recommend this if you are travelling to Shirakawago. It is a short distance away from the main sightseeing area but they provide shuttle bus pick up to and fro from the bus terminal so it was easy to get around. The amenities are absolutely amazing and as indicated. I'd encourage you to book for their dinner and breakfast, it is worth more than what you are paying for!! Even the kids meal is immaculately prepared. Also considering there wasn't much to eat around that area - you will get blown away by their quality and spread of food.

Cannot walk to Shirakawago village as it is located quite far and they don’t have the shuttle service available in the afternoon.

Dinner is phenomenal! Private bath and onsen is superb ! Room is clean and facilities is well equipped. Staff is very helpful and can communicate well English

The food was AMAZING, the hot spring baths were wonderfully warm, but not too hot....

The dishes in the room not being replaced by new ones or washed.

The staff eas great and the food was delicious

Stayed in March 2024

The ryokan is a bit further from the town and has a shuttle bus, it's necessary to check departure times in advance. Food was a bit stale.

The facilities and service were great, room spacious and cosy.

Nothing really it was a fantastic traditional Japanese experience.

The generosity of the hotel with many special free treats (ice creams, coffee, drinks, Raman). The breakfast and dinner was amazing but remember to book the dinner. The onsen was also great.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay here from the reception area to the complementary Ramen to the soothing onsens and the beautiful large rooms and comfortable beds was an exceptional experience and would highly recommend to anyone going to this area to stay in this spot. Perfect for families and and there were lots of other families, staying at the same time which made us feel super comfortable with our Littles

Honestly more of the guests. The entitled tourists do well to educate their children to not step on the tatami floors with their shoes. Though that being said the adults in those groups are equally as ignorant and rude themselves so the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Great location in the winter. Having free onsite parking is great. The complimentary ramen at night is great. Very well designed onsen layout - standing, seating, outdoor, indoor, sauna, waterfall shower. Awesome. Absolutely beautiful room!

BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN ACCOMMODATION. FREE DRINKS, COFFEE AND ICY POLES WERE A NICE TOUCH AFTER A DAY OF WALKING AROUND SHIRAKAWA-GO.

Stayed in January 2024

The breakfast is very traditional Japanese style with no option or choice available. There is no pick up service or shuttle available from the bus station before 3pm, the walk takes around 35minutes along a freeway with limited side-walks.

Beautifully located on a river with view on the mountains. Nice comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Lovely public onsen and private onsen open almost all day and night.
