    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.

    A beautiful family-run ryokan. The room and location were ideal, the food was amazing, and the private onsen made it extra special. You absolutely must visit!!

    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.

    Nice room, quite spacious. Nice public onsen and private onsen available for free. Very good breakfast and dinner. Everything is well organised, they provide loungewear in multiple sizes and you can choose the best one for you, they also provide yukata, you can choose form a wide range of sizes and colours. The staff is very helpful and nice. Very close to Shirakawa-go, Takayama and some other nice little villages.

    We liked everything, the hotel was beautiful, and the rooms were very comfortable. We really appreciate the onsen and the large choice of yukata, the free drinks and ice creams. Also the traditional breakfast was huge and delicious.

    Luxury ryokan Large room with huge traditional breakfast. The location is further than expect but they do provide shuttle bus. The Onsen is so good the private one no charge and the public one are huge and there are many baths to choose. Amenities are all well prepared. Also provide free ice cream and drinks for relaxation. The noodles on late snack is superb!
