Shirahone Onsen · Kamikochi Onsen × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

Both the Room and the entire Accommodation were clean, and we had a very comfortable stay. The Onsen warmed us through to the core and helped relieve our travel fatigue. The meals were a delight both visually and in taste, and the steak in particular was outstanding. We had no contact with other guests, making it a quiet, relaxing space. Conversations with the staff were also pleasant, and we were very satisfied. We would love to visit again in a different season.

I think this is a very satisfying Accommodation. Although it is not an Accommodation within Kamikochi, if you are trekking from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, I would recommend this Accommodation even more. We were able to park until 3:00 PM the next day, and it was also possible to use the Onsen for a day trip after the trek. The staff’s smiles were delightful, and it was a wonderful, relaxing Accommodation.

I was hoping to visit Kamikochi and enjoy an Onsen, but this Ryokan was even better than I expected. The bath had wonderful water and a great atmosphere, and the meals were delicious. The staff’s hospitality was also excellent. I went with my family, and everyone was very satisfied—it became a great memory for us all.

My family requested a trip to Kamikochi and Shirahone Onsen, so I made a Reservation at the long-admired Awanoyu with its milky-blue waters—and they were thrilled. When we arrived, we were impressed by the thoughtful attention to every detail, and by the chef’s outstanding dishes featuring local ingredients and seasonal flavors. The Onsen was unlike any we had experienced before, leaving both body and mind completely refreshed. We were also deeply moved by the understated hospitality of the proprietress and all the staff. We’ve found an Accommodation we want to return to right away. Thank you for such wonderful memories!!

It was my first time at Shirahone Onsen, and it exceeded everything I had heard. A milky-white, wonderfully silky bath with a proper sulfur scent—my skin felt so smooth afterward. As for the Ryokan, the hospitality was astonishing by today’s standards. They greeted us right at our car upon arrival and even carried our luggage. Every staff member was consistently polite, and if they saw us heading to the baths, they would immediately call the elevator for us. Most surprising of all was the food—everything was delicious. It was my first time trying snow trout sashimi, and I couldn’t believe how good it was. The dishes weren’t just tasty; they were also beautifully presented. The Ryokan’s Shifuku Mochi was also amazing—I bought three boxes as souvenirs. My husband usually doesn’t eat Japanese sweets, but he unusually ate four pieces. When we contacted them out of concern that heavy rain might close the roads, they kindly explained everything in detail as well. Overall, I felt the staff’s level of hospitality was exceptional—it’s easy to see why so many guests return. I’d love to come again next year. Thank you very much!

It was an incredibly luxurious experience. The Shinshu salmon and Shinshu beef were delicious. The fresh spring water drawn from the rocks was also very tasty, and I had some to take with me. I felt that this accommodation truly embodies heartfelt hospitality. I would lov

This was my second visit. I felt the meals were even more satisfying than last time. When I asked, I was told that the proprietress herself stands at the pantry. Your heartfelt hospitality truly came through. I enjoyed the lovely flowers in the Room, as well as the cute children’s drawings displayed throughout. As I was leaving and filling water outside, you kindly filled the PET bottles I had brought at the sink. So much heavy water—thank you very much. You also showed me a back route to Norikura Eco Line—an exciting road. Thank you for everything. The milky-white, wonderfully fragrant Onsen water kept its scent for quite a while. Hoping to return again, wishing happiness to everyone here.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. We stayed here during our trip to Norikura. It rained all day, so it was a disappointing day, but the Onsen at Misuzuso and the delicious dinner were truly soothing and turned it into a wonderful day. We used the coin laundry. We didn’t know how to use it, but the staff kindly showed us, and everyone was very courteous. Thank you again.

Although it is a relatively quiet, rustic Onsen area, the Room and Facility were very clean after the renovation. With only seven rooms, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The meals offered a wide variety of dishes and were very satisfying. There are two private open-air baths and one large public bath for men and women, and we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen thanks to the milky white sulfur spring water.

I had always wanted to visit Shirahone Onsen. It’s far from home, so I rarely had the chance, but I finally made it. It truly felt like a secluded hot spring in the mountains—the water quality was excellent, and the open-air bath was wonderful. The meals were delicious, and the facilities were kept very clean. The souvenir shop also had some unique items, and I enjoyed everything. Chatting with the friendly staff made the experience even better.

This was my first stay, and I was completely satisfied with the Accommodation. The meals, Onsen, and service were all excellent. Although the price is a bit high, it was well worth it. I was also able to relax and unwind in the open-air bath, which was almost like having it to myself.

We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay to climb Mt. Norikura and visit Kamikochi. The location was excellent—just a short walk to the bus terminal—so we’d like to stay here again for our next hike to Nishiho Maruyama! The Hida beef teppanyaki dinner was absolutely delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.
