Shirakawa Hotel Guide - Shirakawago Hirase Onsen hotels in Shirakawa, Japan.

"This is a very nice resort hotel. They have quite attentive staff and lots of amenities. The 4 person room was large enough for the three of us to spread out our three very comfy futon beds. Plus there were proper chairs and a small table by the windows. It also had a fridge and water kettle. The hotel has two onsens, one open to the public. The one for hotel guests is in the basement and has items for free whereas the public one on the main floor charges for items like a hairbrushes. There’s a huge souvenir shop and several restaurants. If you go over a holiday book ahead. We were there the night before Culture Day (November 3) and every one was booked up. Fortunately there’s a 7/11 across the street as the local restaurants were closed. The only con was the massage. They are done in the entrance to the public onsen with no separation like a screen or curtains. So it’s quite noisy. The massage itself was just okay. Still nice after a long day of travel, but a soak in the onsen was just as effective. "

"Clean room, large size. Complimentary water each day was a very nice touch that we liked. Excellent location."

"We did not have breakfast, but loved our stay here. It was conveniently located, had onsite parking, and an onsen on the first floor. "

"Staff was spectacular, I'm so sorry they have to deal with less than delightful guests on what seems like a regular basis. We greatly appreciate you and enjoyed our gift of champagne. Area is very walkable, bed is on the softer side of Japans hotel beds. Our room was big enough and it was one of the smaller ones. There is a smoking room by the elevator that opens frequently so there is some cigarette smell when you go to the lobby. I do wish there was some food options though, Takayama restaurants close pretty early in the vicinity and it would be stellar if there was more available at the hotel. Breakfast options were great, maybe add a dinner too?"

"One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a hotel. The staff is so nice and helpful and the rooms are great. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Takayama!"

"A very beautiful hotel, just a few minutes from the station. You can reserve the private onsen, which opens to the outside. Very relaxing. The only surprise was the mediocre wifi bandwidth (9 Mbs) even if you join their accor something-or-other. Highly recommended"

"Our stay was a great experience. I was able to relax and decompress despite my very short 16h stay thanks to the private and public open air baths, snacks, yukata, and attentive and welcoming staff. We initially were not sure how to get to the property from the Shirakawa Go bus terminal and had started a 30-minutr walk. But!--before we got to far, we spotted a shuttle with the Onyado Yui no Sho sign. We luckily were able to board the shuttle. We opted for the dinner and breakfast reservations and it definitely was a highlight of the experience-- traditional and fresh foods served as 3(?) courses, presented in beautiful dining pieces. Our sever was very friendly and accommodating, and even sought feedback on his English! (He shared with us that he has studied and plans to continue studying abroad, and his English will only improve!) I am very awe-inspired by the staff's dedication to hospitality. Our room was beautiful, clean, and spacious! Beds were comfortable. I will plan to return to Onyado Yui no Sho in the near future for much needed self-care and healing."
