Shirakawa Hotel Guide - Mt. Sanpo Iwadake Trail hotels in Shirakawa, Japan.

"All good"

"So close to the shrine, the castle, the samurai district, and the cutest row of shops and eats by a beautiful creek. "

"Amazing location with the major sites, shopping, grocery and restaurants all walking distance away. We had the residential suite for our family which was very spacious and well appointed. Would highly recommend!"

"A peaceful and serene hotel setting and staff were very accommodating."

"The room is big It compares the same price hotels. I like interiors and furniture of wooden chairs and tables. It has perfect location by train and bus stations. Recommend to all of my friends when they stay in Takayama areas."

"Clean. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Nice hot springs. "

"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! "

"Spacious and clean, extremely well equipped. "

"I'm really glad I chose this hotel as its rignt in the middle of all the major attractions in Kanazawa so everything is about a 20 minute walk in any direction. Breakfast was great here as well or you can tske your breakfast voucher over to the local market thats a few minutes away. There's also a nice public bath."
