This time, I stayed at the long-admired Imperial Hotel with my mother. She used to love hiking and once climbed the Hotaka mountain range, and she told me that she and her friends talked about how they wanted to stay here someday. Her wish finally came true, and she was absolutely delighted. We were very satisfied to see Hotaka from our Room balcony. The Room was spotless and very comfortable. The staff were kind and carefully explained the route to Kappa Bridge. The restaurant was fully booked for dinner, but when we said we would browse the souvenir shop, they kindly came to let us know as soon as a table became available. This time, we were on a waiting list, and luckily a cancellation opened up so we were able to stay. On the way home, my mother and I kept saying, “Let’s come again.” We would love to visit again.

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!

We stayed here the night before our hike. We thought it might be a bit of a splurge, but the Shuttle Service, luxurious meals, open-air bath, and fluffy bedding made for a wonderful night’s sleep. We were able to set off comfortably and were very satisfied. However, since there were six of us, it was inconvenient to make the Reservation in three separate bookings.
