Shirakawa hotel guide. Independent hotel in Shirakawa, Gifu Prefecture

"The hotel is absolutely beautiful and very convenient as we could walk less than five minutes from the train station. The staff were exceptional and very helpful. The hotel is beautiful inside and the huge bonus is that they also have a onsen which was welcoming at the end of each day. Breakfast was delicious and you could rent a motorized assisted bicycle for ¥500 for an hour or ¥1000 for three hours… it was amazing to do this and explore the city on the bikes. A big thank you to all the staff."

"Best hotel room I’ve stayed in Japan so far. The room was spacious, there is a washer/dryer in my room, the bed was very comfortable. Microwave, mini fridge and kettle. Everything you need. And the location is great!"

"I found the breakfast options limited. When in Japan I want a Japanese breakfast with rice, natto, steamed vegetables. The salad I had was okay but as a vegan, most of the menu wasn’t appropriate for me. A Japanese menu offers foods good for many diets. "

"The hotel appears quite new and clean and provides a delightful experience. You have the option to select your own yukata to wear within the hotel and bring along the towel basket to the onsen. Throughout the night, they offer a variety of complimentary drinks and snacks such as mochi, noodles, popsicles, coffee, tea, and soft drinks. And free Yakult in the morning. You won’t be bored after Shirakawago goes dark at night."
