Shirakaba Resort Ikenotaira Hotel

We enjoyed our stay two years ago,so we decided to return.When we checked in at the dedicated reception desk,the staff were very kind and courteous,which made us feel welcome.Our room was clean and had a lovely view,and we would gladly stay again.The buffet was also quite satisfying,though the salad selection seemed smaller than before.Thank you for your hospitality.We really appreciated it.

The parking lot is just a short walk away.The lobby is lovely and spacious. Our room was also spacious and airy, with a panoramic view of Lake Shirakaba. We ordered a kaiseki dinner, which also included access to the buffet. With Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes available, there seemed to be something for all ages. Soft-serve ice cream was available at both dinner and breakfast.There were lots of guests, so we skipped the large public bath, thinking it might be crowded, and used the bath in our room instead. The view of Lake Shirakaba from the bath was wonderful.There are also plenty of things to do nearby.Family Land’s Wakuwaku Animal Kingdom is just a short walk away, and feeding the animals was so much fun. The Jungle Zone was closed, possibly for renovations, so we would love to stay at the hotel again and visit it next time. The service was great, and we had a relaxing stay. An 11 a.m. checkout would have made it even better.
