Hotels near Shirakawago Historic Village

"I chose this hotel so I could do laundry in the middle of a 2 week trip. It took eight hours for drying and clothes still were soaking wet and I had to improvise by air drying on the balcony. No one could help at the front desk, and the translators app and English instructions provided by the hotel said I chose the right settings. Very frustrating. It would have been five stars except for this issue. "

"We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful hotel, comfortable bed, Fully stacked room with a washing machine. Walking distance to sights and restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast had lots of options. Loved having a hotel with an Onsen. "

"Wonderful immersive experience, fantastic breakfasts and great central location. Incredible staff!"

"Todo bien"

"I loved this hotel, I would have given it a 5 star except for Barman on Thursday night 19th March who was very offhand bordering on rude. Everything else was excellent."

" Wonderful staff!!! Great location…right near the Old Town. And the food was delicious!"

"Favorite place we stayed during our week trip! Very relaxing with onsen and the staff was amazing!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Wat Hotel & Spa Hida Takayama and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Takayama. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the old town, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were surprisingly spacious (especially compared to typical Japanese hotels), very clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the onsen and spa facilities. They were beautifully maintained, relaxing, and such a nice way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I also loved the option of private baths—it made the experience feel even more special. A really standout moment for us was arriving to find a thoughtful honeymoon setup in our room, including a handwritten-style card, flowers, and balloons. It was such a lovely surprise and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated—such a special touch that we didn’t expect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and everything felt very well organised. The breakfast had a good mix of Japanese and Western options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, this hotel offers amazing value for money with great facilities, comfort, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!"

"Clean room is very good"
