Ryokans in Shirakawa

"This family-run guesthouse is a good half-hour walk from the train station, although there are buses every hour from 9:00 to 18:00 (6:00pm) that stop at the bottom of the hill. The establishment can sometimes pick you up or drop you off.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. The service was excellent, the room was spacious, and the food was fantastic- both dinner and breakfast (we went for half-board)."

"An exceptional and authentic Japanese experience. Worth going out of your way to visit. The atmosphere is simply stunning"

"Everything about our stay was great! The owner/operator of the Ryokan was very accommodating. A family-run ryokan that I don’t mind staying in again next time around."

"Incredible place to stay!"

"Everything was quiet. The staff were kind and, between our broken Japanese and their broken English, we could communicate. Our room was nicer than expected. It was our first ryokan. Everything seemed old but well cared for, and it gave the place a comforting character."

"Beautiful place with charming people. Delicious breakfast."

"Cosy Ryokan with extremely friendly service."

"田園地帯の一軒家ホテルは静寂でのんびりするのにはイイです。夕食・朝食も品数多く美味しいです。"

"夕食の雰囲気もとてもいいお部屋で、 ご馳走が沢山出て、最後の美味しい釜だきのご飯が食べられないと言うと、おにぎりにして頂いて感激しました。 露天風呂つきのお部屋も最高でした。"

"Staff extremely friendly and nice. Shuttle bus provided to/from local train station to allow day trips out to surrounding areas."

"Amazing friendly staff, easy walking distance to all the main tourist areas and an amazing ramen spot right around the corner "
