Popular Shirakawa 4-star Hotels

The Wifi has been unable to connect, and after it was connected, it showed that the IP address was incorrect. The only problem was that we encountered some problems at the reception desk when we checked in that night and it took some time to resolve. The receptionist carefully instructed us to go to dinner first (it was almost evening 8 o'clock), and the dinner was quite delicious.

We stayed one night at the Ryokan Yunosato and had a wonderful time with insights into Japanese culture. We were welcomed so warmly and friendly by the family and immediately felt at home. Our tatami room was beautiful and very well maintained. The dinner (Kaiseki) and breakfast were a dream. A completely new experience! Afterwards we had regional sake and finally a bath in the private onsen. We slept and ate so well and will definitely come back the next time we are in Japan. Thank you very much!

I recently had the opportunity to stay at an onsen hotel, and I must say, my experience was somewhat disappointing. While the hotel had many appealing features, several aspects fell short of expectations. Firstly, the hotel's policy requiring guests to walk barefoot or in socks was problematic due to the cleanliness of the floors. The surfaces did not seem well-maintained, which detracted from the overall experience. I was particularly let down by the private bath. The two only available tubs was filled with bleach, which was concerning and not suitable for relaxation. Additionally, there were no shower facilities provided for rinsing off before or after soaking in the onsen. This made the experience less enjoyable, as I couldn't clean myself immediately before or after enjoying the hot springs. Furthermore, the reservation system for the private baths was poorly organized. There was no clear queue, leading to confusion and frustration among guests who were waiting their turn. Overall, the taste of dinner and breakfast was average, but the environment and service was quite good. Although the hotel offered many attractions and amenities, the execution left much to be desired. Overall, my stay was a case of having high expectations that were not met. I hope the hotel can improve these aspects in the future to provide a better experience for its guests.
