Shirakawa Hotels

"The BOSENKAN was a great experience. We really enjoyed the Onsen, even though it was our very first experience. The food was traditional, and there were a lot of new tastes for us which was nice. We were surprised by the large number of non-native workers there were. It did make understanding them difficult, and we felt it was less authentic. But we still enjoyed our stay! We will miss Mizuki-chan!"

"Breakfast is excellent! One of the best ever. Can’t get enough of chestnut bread. Staff is extremely helpful We had a great staying"

"I had a lovely time at this hotel. Beautiful ambiance and gorgeous scenery. The breakfast superb! "

"Breakfast bar was actually very very good I was impressed It’s right by the station so you don’t have to go very far to get to and from it Great place to hang if you’re looking to go to any Inuyama festivals or just see the palace The town is very pretty and the walk to the castle is maybe 20 minutes "

"Went hiking on the Nakasendo Trail. Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, as it is one of the closest and best hotels in the vicinity. Overall, it was a good experience. Staff were courteous, as usual, with the Japanese hospitality. The room is clean, but a bit tired. Could do with a renovation. Buffet is good, a wide spread of food and drinks, and the quality is good. Service staff are friendly and extremely hardworking. Except you get the same Breakfast and Dinner menu every day. I think they don't expect anyone to stay beyond 1 day. No other restaurants nearby, so you don't have much of an option. "

"Central location."

"Location was within walking distance to the train station. Upon arrival, staff were very polite making check in a breeze. The room was quite small but fine for us since we don’t spend a lot of time in our room when traveling. Loved that they had a section where you could choose a pillow that is suitable for you. Bed was comfortable. The walls are quite thin so noise could be heard from the room next door but it wasn’t enough to bother us."

"Very commercial onsen hotel with lots of staff onsite when checking in to a point it actually feels quite overwhelming. A nice touch when arriving where they allow you to drop off the luggage and drive into the parking lot where a mini shuttle is there to drive you back to the hotel but the negative is the next morning when you’re leaving you’re left dragging your luggage down a slight slope where it makes you feel like valued guest when you arrive but when you’re leaving they don’t really care especially when me and my partner went for a dip in the morning then proceeded to breakfast and thought we might have a Power Nap till 10:30 before hitting the road but to our surprise by the time we finished breakfast and got back to the room the mattress and the bedding was all cleaned up and it felt like they literally wanted you out which was kinda disappointing to say the least and it really didn’t make you feel like you’re on holidays. The sites had quite a few onsen options but the town shuts quite early so remember to get yourself sorted early or you may be stuck either paying resort priced restaurants or stuck eating convenient store food because there is not much open late in the evening so plan before you go for a dip. Additionally the rooms and in generally the hotel looks abit tired also. Overall not a great experience especially this was our first port of call since arriving in Nagoya. Not a great way to start the trip. "
