This ryokan is a destination in itself. The village of Shiragawa is very small. One can walk the length of the main street in 15 minutes. There are a lot of people who go to the village only for day trips. You would stay in this Ryokan not because of the village, but for the spa-like luxury. I went there with my adult daughter. The ryokan is family run. We were greeted by one of the hostesses who spoke very good English. We had the one room upstairs with a gorgeous river view. The room was spotless and spartan by design, zen-like, so as to appreciate what was around you. There are two private onsens on site. Robes are provided and one is encouraged to wear them after your bath. We took our onsen baths before dinner, but you can take it afterwards as well. Dinner is served at a set time for all guests together. There were only 3 other parties of two who stayed there that night. Dinner was a 10 course piece of delicious art, with almost all ingredients obtained locally. After dinner, I went for a night time stroll of the village which is now almost completely empty and quiet. Breakfast was similar to dinner, a multi-course artfully served meal, although it was not necessary for all the guests to come at the exact same time. Check out was straight forward but the patriarch and matriarch of the family made an effort to see us off personally. Highly recommended. Furthermore, the bus station is directly across the street, making it a convenient location on top of everything else!

My wife & I stayed overnight at Shiroyamakan & it was an experience we’ll forever cherish! As I understand it, the exterior of the structure remains original to its late-1800s construction. Yet the 4th generation owners recently undertook a massive renovation of the interior & the results are breathtaking. Of the inn’s 4 rooms, 2 have been kept in traditional ryokan style & 2 have been converted to a modern style. Our modern room featured huge picture windows, one of which looked out onto a koi pond & the other onto the Shō River (I shot the attached photo of the great white heron from our room!). The room had its own ductless heat/AC unit & heat also radiated up from the gorgeous wood floor, making it oh-so-cozy. Finally, our room included its own super-modern Toto toilet & washroom. For ablutions, Shiroyamakan offers two stunning hinoki wood bathing rooms. Each very large room is private, so you won’t be in there w/ strangers & your family can use the spring-fed bath together. I will never forget how amazing the bathing rooms smelled! All that said, as great as the building is, it was the people who made our experience special. Shiroyamakan is a family affair & the proprietors, supported by their adult kids (plus their kids’ spouses), made us feel at home from the instant we stepped in. Words & pictures can’t do the place justice, but hopefully this review gives you a sense for how much we loved it. If you’re planning a visit to Shirakawa-go, I can’t recommend a stay at Shiroyamakan highly enough. It’s the sort of experience that lifts your spirit & stays with you.

PROS: 1. Just across the Shirakawa-go bus terminal 2. Such an immersive and peaceful environment. There was no TV in our room but we spent hours watching the dancing autumn leaves outside our window while listening to the rustling of the trees and chriping of the crickets. 3. Room is large and cozy with traditional Japanese decor. We were able to book the room with a private toilet and bath, however we realized that bathing in one of the ryokan's two onsens (Which could be used exclusively by a group, by just flipping the occupied sign) is a much better experience. 4. The family was very welcoming and hospitable. Takuya Matsufuru-san, the fourth generation owner of the inn, even gave us a tour of the village in his van (tours were in Japanese which he would later translate into English audio by an app). 5. Food was great! Kaiseki style dinner, and breakfast with freshly foraged ingredients from the mountains, freshly caught river fish, and handmade soba noodles! CONS: 1. They only accomodate four groups at a time, hence booking can be quite a challenge, but is definitely worth it!

An incredible experience. From the structure, very convenient to the bus and the center, to the hospitality (free tour), to the structure (room with very large windows on the ground floor, onsen), to the cuisine (wonderful dinner and breakfast). Everything a fairy tale. Stupendous, magnificent! Staying here is the sweetest memory of the trip

We stayed 1 night in the Shiroyamakan on our individual 4-week trip through Japan. Location/general: Located at the start of the historic village, 80m to the fairly steep but shortest path to the viewpoint (observation deck), 200m to the combi & bus shuttle to the observation deck. We went there with a rental car. Perfect, parking spaces for hotel guests right by the house. Everything is fantastically well maintained, Japanese-style dining room, 2 onsen for private use, one of them with a wonderful view of the river, an absolute "must". The senior boss drove us through the village and then to the observation deck in a first-class minibus at 3 p.m., English explanations were available. That was extremely helpful, we immediately had an orientation regarding the distances. From the observation deck (the best place for photos, especially in the morning) we then walked into the village (10-15 minutes). The host family is incredibly friendly, attentive and caring, you feel at home from the start, the greeting itself is wonderfully relaxing. Rooms: We had a "triple room with private bathroom" in the traditional ryokan style, there are also "newly" designed rooms. Spacious, separate bathroom (with tub) & toilet, fridge, traditional Japanese "balcony/loggia". Kimonos. We cannot recommend the "new" and "old" rooms, we found ours to be first class, we did not see the other "new" ones (you can see it on the homepage). Dinner/breakfast: First class quality and absolutely fantastic service by the junior owners, an experience that was part of the consistently fantastic ryokan kaiseki experiences of our trip. The modern Japanese minimalist dining room has a fantastic atmosphere that is difficult to capture in photos. Price/performance: very good. Conclusion: we can warmly recommend this ryokan to anyone who plans to visit Shirakawago/Shirakawa-mura. The house, the rooms, the owner family & not least the food create a wonderful atmosphere. Be sure to plan an overnight stay, as this is the only way to experience the place in the evenings and mornings in a more relaxed manner without lots of bus tourists.
