Noto Island Pet-friendly Vacations

Excellent hotel Frequented by business travellers and families Good sized room for 3 Great shower with good water pressure Book the all you can eat breakfast Tasty western and Japanese food Omelette made to order Crisp service Highly recommend

Did operate some classes but need to line up at 3:00pm to register. Each slot only has few spots. That isn’t convenient about it. As customer did email to register ahead of time and isn’t allow customer to pre book. But the reception is super helpful when I had some issue.

My spouse and I were on vacation with our adult son. This was our favorite hotel in Japan (out of the six hotels we stayed at). It's not the easiest to get to - the hotel's shuttle times are limited (otherwise it's a 30 minute walk from the bus station; no taxis in town), but you can leave luggage in lockers or other paid storage at Shirakawa-go bus station (which is what we did). At the bus station, you are in walking distance to everything you would want to see in Shirakawa, whereas the hotel is not walking distance to anything. The shuttle driver was very nice and helpful, as were all of the hotel staff. They spoke decent English - we used a translation app for more complex conversation. You should absolutely book room with board (includes breakfast and dinner) since there are no restaurants open anywhere nearby in the evening. You can do this on Expedia, contrary to what another review said. The kaiseki dinner was lovely. Our room was the most spacious and comfortable room we had in Japan - it looked out over the mountains and river, which was beautiful. The hotel is very traditional - all of the hallways are lined with tatami mats and no outdoor shoes allowed. The onsen were beautiful and peaceful - a perfect way to end the evening. Although you could easily go to Shirakawa-go as a day trip from Kanazawa or Takayama, we're glad that we decided to spend the night there - this hotel was worth it!

Probably one of the best stays we have had in Japan. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful, services were excellent. Highly recommend!

Lovely stay with public and private onsens
