Shirakawa Hotels

"Very nice hotel — I would definitely stay here again if I return to Nakatsugawa. The staff were kind and helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and having access to an onsen was a real plus. A very comfortable and relaxing stay."

"The Taoya Hotel is exceptional. After hiking the Nakasendo trail, we enjoyed a spectacular Japanese and Western buffet. There was sake, beer, and wine included. After dinner we soaked in the onsen and relaxed our tired muscles. The onsen had a cherry blossom tree in full bloom for us to view. You should definitely go there."

"What a lovely stay in this hotel during our family retreat to Enakyo. This is our first time visiting the beautiful town and our experience has been a very positive one. The hotel is clean, staffs are friendly and the onsen is enjoyable. The room we stayed is properly sized for the three of us, there is no shower within our room, but the public bathhouse was enjoyable. Will definitely visit again."

"The BOSENKAN was a great experience. We really enjoyed the Onsen, even though it was our very first experience. The food was traditional, and there were a lot of new tastes for us which was nice. We were surprised by the large number of non-native workers there were. It did make understanding them difficult, and we felt it was less authentic. But we still enjoyed our stay! We will miss Mizuki-chan!"

"I had a lovely time at this hotel. Beautiful ambiance and gorgeous scenery. The breakfast superb! "

"Breakfast bar was actually very very good I was impressed It’s right by the station so you don’t have to go very far to get to and from it Great place to hang if you’re looking to go to any Inuyama festivals or just see the palace The town is very pretty and the walk to the castle is maybe 20 minutes "

"Central location."

"Location was within walking distance to the train station. Upon arrival, staff were very polite making check in a breeze. The room was quite small but fine for us since we don’t spend a lot of time in our room when traveling. Loved that they had a section where you could choose a pillow that is suitable for you. Bed was comfortable. The walls are quite thin so noise could be heard from the room next door but it wasn’t enough to bother us."

"Very commercial onsen hotel with lots of staff onsite when checking in to a point it actually feels quite overwhelming. A nice touch when arriving where they allow you to drop off the luggage and drive into the parking lot where a mini shuttle is there to drive you back to the hotel but the negative is the next morning when you’re leaving you’re left dragging your luggage down a slight slope where it makes you feel like valued guest when you arrive but when you’re leaving they don’t really care especially when me and my partner went for a dip in the morning then proceeded to breakfast and thought we might have a Power Nap till 10:30 before hitting the road but to our surprise by the time we finished breakfast and got back to the room the mattress and the bedding was all cleaned up and it felt like they literally wanted you out which was kinda disappointing to say the least and it really didn’t make you feel like you’re on holidays. The sites had quite a few onsen options but the town shuts quite early so remember to get yourself sorted early or you may be stuck either paying resort priced restaurants or stuck eating convenient store food because there is not much open late in the evening so plan before you go for a dip. Additionally the rooms and in generally the hotel looks abit tired also. Overall not a great experience especially this was our first port of call since arriving in Nagoya. Not a great way to start the trip. "
