If you wish to immerse yourself in a true Japanese experience then this is the hotel for you. Everyone walks around in their Japanese pjs, no shoes allowed inside and the onsen is wonderful - especially the private one. Staff are very friendly and helpful. There are also icecreams, beef skewers and ramen as treats! We loved our experience

The room was super spacious - the biggest one on our trip to Japan. I slept on the japanese style matress on the floor and it was super confortable. They have a very well equiped kitchen. And they offer a few drinks, jam, bread, and also 1 curry and rice per person, which was really nice. They have a beatiful and very helpful handmade guide for shirakawago, that stays on the main table - we used it to find good restaurants, attractions, and also learned about the history of the village. The isolation from the cold was very good - but I don't know if we could avaluate that super well, since it was a ratter warm night for Shirakawago's standards. They only had 1 shower/tub and 2 toilets. At first it got me worried it would be jammed to shower/use the toilet. But I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to shower and never had to wait to use the toilet, even with the place in full capacity. After all, the place is small with few rooms. Since it is really expensive to stay in Shirakawago, it wasn't that cheap. But it was a very fair price for the great experience we had.

Loved this place. New build so everything very modern. Comfortable room. Great bathroom. Very helpful staff member who cleans the rooms and speaks good English. Self checkin clearly explained so not an issue. Wifi was good contrary to some reviews. About a 15 minute walk from the village. 10 minutes to convenience store. Excellent restaurant nearby open until 9pm with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Tenkara Shirakawa. Good parking. Book it!

Very kind staff. Even if it is little far from the attraction center, they take you by shuttle to (8:30 am) and from (after 5 pm) the center. I normally don't prefer shared toilets, but here I was not disturbed at all. Room was small but very efficiently designed It was so comfortable.

We had a fantastic stay. The house was great and the family where such lovely host. If you don’t go there you really miss an opportunity. The whole family made our stay an event to remember. The venue is one of a kind and absolutely worth the 30m trip from Takayama. You really feel like traveling back in time. We experienced how little it takes to have a great childhood and astonishing beautiful environment. We can only recommend the place. Special thanks to Chie to explain us so much and to show us around not to speak of the wonderful food. Special thanks to Satoshi for the smoked fish, so tasty and tender. And a big thank you Kotoha for the tea ceremony. And last but not least to Mei the goat tamer. Thank you all for a unique experience.

Compared to other places in this village, it was a cheap stay. I liked the common area and kitchenette with free coffee etc. 20 minute walk to the attractions. The free shuttle was handy. Decent location. Not much within a 5 minute walk though. Good for a one night stay.

There are no words to describe our experience in Shiroyamakan. Everything was exceptional, the installations, the personnel, the atmosphere, the location, simply, there are no words. The food is another part of the history. Yes, can be weird that the dinner is at 6 pm, but it has an explanation that you must experience by yourself. It was the most beautiful and memorable experience in our traveling life. Arigatou so much to the family, you made us feel in your home.

Loved the style of the house. It almost felt like a cozy homestay with all amenities in place. There were scrapbooks with all information about the village which was very helpful and thoughtful of the host. Everything in the fridge was free for the guests to have and there were plenty of options. The location is just 10mins walk from the main bus station and the supermarket is just across the street. Loved the place!

Location was perfect, 10 minute walk into Shirakawa village. The owner was so generous and welcoming, the hospitality was exceptional. The beds were quite comfortable and the showers small, but warm, clean and well-stocked. The lunch was very good also. Absolutely a great place to stay.

Great location and easily walkable, with a scenic view of the village from the bus stop. Simply take a bus from Kanazawa Station, but ensure to book in advance during busy seasons. The room was clean, and there was a kitchen where you could cook your food, with a grocery store just a 1-minute walk away. They provided enough groceries to fill your tummy, such as bread, butter, milk, coffee, curry, rice, etc. Highly recommended for the value of money. The main street is only a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

Staff is really nice and helpful, room and equipment are good. If you're a light sleeper and you're next to the living room, it can get noisy depending on the guests you are with : maybe set up a "curfew"? Still good location and price, it's worth it to stay on location.

The location is great, within a 15-minute walking distance to the Gassho Village. The host was friendly and allowed us early check-in, he was also very helpful with our inquiries about the place. We also loved the comfy beddings, adequate heating, and the en suite toilet and bath.
