Reviews of GuestHouse Shirakawa-Go INN

The place was very clean and spotless. It was also nice and quiet.

The bedroom was a bit small and cramped, and the place is on the pricey side.

Compact and with a nice atmosphere. Great view.

Very small rooms that had a strange smell. Very hard to handle shower, that didn't have warm water, even though I waited and put it to max.

Location, quiet, clean

The location is great, the staff was super friendly and helpful

The wall are very thin and sometimes you can hear Many voices of people in other rooms

The staff was very friendly and the lounge area is nice to sit in.

No kitchen and no sink. The walls are very thin and people are often not realizing how good they can be heard from other rooms. There is also no washing machine or dryer in the hostel. There are other hostels in Shirakawago which are cheaper and have better rooms and common areas if you book early enough.

The staff are an extremely lovely couple who are passionate about what they do. The owner of the inn is a genuine Hida born and raised man who used to be an engineer and you can see that in the way he runs his facilities, they are both extremely clean and are among the best you will be able to find in all of shirakwa go. Unlike other inns within the city, you are able to rent a bike for an extremely small price directly from the front desk, there are decent food options aswell, and both the living space downstairs and the rooms themselves are very beautiful and unique compared to other facilities in the city. I would highly recommend this inn for anyone traveling in general but especially if you are traveling with more than one person.

While the location is a little far from the main area of the town, you can easily traverse the distance with a bike in a few minutes, furthermore after dark the area in which the hotel stands becomes extremely useful as it is close to all the actual services of the village, such as the ATM and the Convenience store

Peaceful and quiet. Clean, polite and helpful staff

Location

Staff was super friendly, The accommodation was a expected. They have bike rental which is a must with the lack of public transportation in the village.

We arrived a little late to GuestHouse Shirakawaga-Go Inn but were welcomed warmly by the staff. We were able to park our car right outside the front entrance, which was very convenient. The property offered bike rentals, so we decided to rent bikes for the following day at only ¥1,000 a bike. The lounge/kitchen area was very comfortable, and we enjoyed eating our meals and having coffee with the beautiful view of the rice fields and mountains. The bedroom was simple and comfortable, and the facilities in the property were clean.

Comfortable stay, very friendly owner. Clean facilities.

Affordable place to stay, host are very friendly, close to the variety store open till 7PM, and 10 minutes walk to convenience store.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment. Everything was spotless and very well organized – you could tell great care is taken to keep it clean and comfortable. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed, with easy access to public transport and key attractions. What truly stood out was the team: everyone we interacted with was incredibly helpful, kind, and genuinely welcoming, which made our experience even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Definitely a 10 out of 10!

Everything perfect.

A cozy guesthouse. The owner (and his wife) are very friendly and hospitable. They are very quick to respond to my enquiries and provide a lot of assistance on my stay.

It is clean

No private bathroom and toilet

The property was clean, tidy. The lounge area (shared) has a great view out into the snowy landscape. The rooms were perfectly good. Service was amazing from the staff. He was very hospitable! Even with the morning shuttle to the Shiragawa-go tourist spot. Would stay here again!

Given the price, I would not recommend this accommodation. The entire guesthouse is well-kept and really clean. However, we could clearly hear the other guests during the night as the walls are really thin, and the beds were not the best. The staff is really helpful and try their best to answer all our questions. The location is quite far from Shirakawa-go’s center (approx. 30 min)
