"What a lovely stay in this hotel during our family retreat to Enakyo. This is our first time visiting the beautiful town and our experience has been a very positive one. The hotel is clean, staffs are friendly and the onsen is enjoyable. The room we stayed is properly sized for the three of us, there is no shower within our room, but the public bathhouse was enjoyable. Will definitely visit again."

"An amazing experience and stay! We spent two nights in the ryokan and it was a highlight of our trip. The food is exquisite and we were served an array of traditional, creative and beautiful dishes which we very much enjoyed.

"Excellent boutique hotel. It was beautiful inside and very intimate. The little cafe was cozy and had snacks all day long plus coffee and tea. There is a private onsen and little garden. I sadly missed the breakfast that they offered to us as i was so tired and comfy in the bed i had trouble getting up. The room was beautiful with great amenities and drinks for you. It was spotlessly cleaned. The manager was very friendly and quick to respond to messages. It is the type of place I personally...

Top Shirakawa Hotel Reviews

OnnNakatsugawa

10/10 Excellent

"Good clean hotel in excellent location for the Nakasendo trail. Close to the railway station plus many local options for lunch/dinner. Nice to have the Onsen there as well."

TAOYA Kisoji

8/10 Good

"It was a mix of Japanese and American style hotel. My room was spacious but had a tatami bed. The hotel itself felt more like an American hotel except, of course, for the soaking pools. The reason why is that the breakfasts and dinners were all buffet which is a bit different from kaseiki. Other than that, the all you can drink sake, wine and beer anytime was great. They even had a self serve soft serve ice cream machine!"

Gero Onsen Bosenkan

10/10 Excellent

"Large outdoor area of onsen pools with 4 lie-flat onsen beds. This hotel is well located with large parking lot. The room is spacious with suite and view of river and Gero. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy. The hot spring is known for restorative and you can feel the difference why Gero is ranked number 2 of the 100 best hot springs in Japan. The hotel's location and quality of onsen is hard to beat. Thank You for the Great Service!!!!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shirakawa?

The best area to stay in Shirakawa, Gifu Prefecture, is the historic village itself, particularly near the iconic Gassho-zukuri farmhouses.

This central area allows you to be right in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site. You'll find yourself surrounded by the distinctive thatched-roof houses, many of which are preserved as museums or guesthouses. The Shirakawa-go Open-Air Museum is a prominent feature, showcasing various traditional buildings. The village is compact and easily explored on foot, with footpaths connecting the main attractions.

For couples seeking a romantic and memorable experience, staying in one of the traditional gassho-zukuri guesthouses within the village is an exceptional choice. These accommodations offer a unique opportunity to experience local culture firsthand, often including traditional dinners and breakfasts.

When is the best time to go to Shirakawa?

The melting snow from the surrounding mountains also contributes to scenic views. This period is ideal for travelers who enjoy hiking and photography, as the natural beauty of the region is at its peak.

Autumn is another excellent time to visit, characterized by comfortable temperatures and stunning fall foliage. The traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses are particularly striking against a backdrop of red, orange, and gold leaves.
