"A large and very well featured Ryokan (traditional inn) style hotel near the historic village of Shirakawa Go.
Very helpful staff, I appreciated the bus from Shirakawa Go bus station to the hotel. Without your bags (or perhaps with), it’s walkable in about 25 minutes. Additionally if you request it, you can get the bus back at 08:30 which got me onto the onward early bus to Kanazawa at 08:50 which was much appreciated.
The hotel has separated male/female onsen as well as two private onsen you could share with your partner, if you wish.
Familiarise yourself with both ryokan and onsen customs if you haven’t done either before! Take your shoes off at the door and don’t let them touch the elevated surface.
There is a small grocery store about 25 mins walk away but also one in the service station up the hill near the hotel.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the air conditioning was set to default to lower limit to 22 degrees, meaning if you set it to 20 for sleep it would change back to 22 instantly, meaning I was waking up in heat. An air conditioning system that is set too high like this, cannot be properly used in summer. Everything else was fantastic."
