Shiroyamakan was AMAZING and one of the best place we ever stayed at in Japan… or in the world! It is run by a loving family who put their heart into hosting guests. They renovated the place with great taste and the perfect mixture of old and new. The aesthetic of the place is incredibly gorgeous. The ryokan also smells amazing. Our room was one of a kind too. It was 120 years old and it took our breath away the moment they opened the door. They have 2 beautiful bathrooms and I was really happy we could use it privately as a couple. The location is absolutely perfect. Right in front of the bus stop, at the entrance of Shirakawago. We came by car though and they provided us with a big private parking. Dinner was one of the best we’ve had in Japan with local products and exquisite dishes. We were blown away by the kindness and attention to details of the family. Honestly no words can do justice to how exceptional and special this place is! Go find out for yourselves but be aware that you will never want to leave!

The ryokan will provide guests with air-conditioned units offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a bidet. At the ryokan, all units are soundproof. At the ryokan, every unit includes bed linen and towels.

It's a perfect place. We've stayed in a four person room. It was spacious and confortable. The entire hotel is absolutely clean. The onsen is spotless. Absolutely recommended!!!

I've never done the Ryokan experience before, and it was great to enjoy the onsen and wear a yukata to a dinner (which had more than 20 different things to eat!). The location was perfect, not even 50 meters from the bus station and with a gorgeous view of the river.

    Location was absolutely fantastic and only a short drive to the Shirakawago heritage sites. The onsens were also lovely and the surroundings were quite special. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and we had a great view from the room. All the ryokan esque facilities (lounge wear, free beverages etc) all topped it off. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    The room was very big and the hotel was perfect. The onsen is also very nice and inside the hotel there are some activities such as wearing a yukata or late noodles in the night which are already included on the price.
