Gokayama Ryokan Yoshinoya

"It’s a stopover for our visit to Shirakawago. Honestly the ryokan is pretty basic. There’s nothing at all so would recommend to skip this ryokan"

Omaki Spa Kanko Ryokan

"This is a secluded hot spring inn that can only be reached by boat. It takes 30 minutes by boat from the Shonai Gorge boat dock, but we enjoyed a cruise around the Shonai Gorge. The room was a beautiful Japanese-style room with 10 tatami mats and a wide veranda. It is better to wear slippers or sandals to go to the open-air bath (for women). There were several people who came barefoot, but they said that it was very painful for the soles of their feet. There are also two open-air baths, but it is better to wear slippers when going to the open-air bath at the back. The open-air bath has good water and a nice view of the river. The washing area and bathroom of the women's middle bath are modern and clean. Lotions and other products are also available. The large bath, which you can reach by going down the stairs, has the atmosphere of a hot spring resort. There are three baths of different temperatures, one of which is deep. The hot spring is a nice, relaxing water with a slight sulfur scent. It was water that clung to the skin. Meals were served at the venue, at 6:00 p.m. in the evening and 7:30 a.m. in the morning. The dinner was very good and I was very satisfied. 13 dishes were brought out one after another, and each dish looked beautiful and tasted delicious. Local specialties such as white shrimp were used, as well as seafood such as blackthroat seaperch and conger eel. The roast pork and seasonal hot pot were also pork, and were very filling. I couldn't eat rice or soup, so I refrained. There were small amounts of various dishes for breakfast. There were steamed bread and grilled fish that I don't usually eat. I learned that the 7:30 breakfast time was timed to accommodate people who were boarding the 9:00 a.m. boat. (The boat leaves at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m.) I felt that the hospitality of the meal was sufficient. There were quite a few stink bugs in the building and in the rooms, so if you hate bugs, be careful when staying there. The person who showed me to my room was a little rude. The front desk staff were very helpful, offering umbrellas when it was raining. On the return trip, it was raining, but I thought the scenery was even better in the rain. I think that a hotel you can stay at by boat will be a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable experience."

Morito-Sha

"Everything was perfect. The staff. The food. My favorite lunch of my whole trip so far The location. The room. Parking. The only surprise was to find out that it was shared toilets. That was not clear on the website. We had the triple room because I wanted the wooden bath which was wonderful. However with no toilet in the room we had to go go down the hallway. There were two toilets for 6 rooms. Luckily there were only two other guests in the hotel to share with."

Métisse Stay

Minshuku Goyomon

"Much better than I imagined! The place was so clean, convenient, and the owner was incredibly friendly. A few insects were present, but nothing out of the ordinary—it was totally acceptable. The food was amazing. Although it mostly consisted of wild ingredients like river fish and unusual vegetables, I enjoyed every dish! Especially the grilled fish cooked over the irori—exactly what I had dreamed of experiencing! The bathroom was lovely too. I didn’t expect to relax in a hot tub, but I did! After a long day of hiking, soaking in the bath at the minshuku Goyomon was the perfect way to unwind. The village was so quiet that I felt safe strolling around alone at night. Cherry blossoms were in full bloom, even though patches of snow still remained on the ground—it was such a magical contrast. I didn’t expect they would accept credit cards—but they did! It made everything even more convenient. I truly wish I could stay there again with my family! Oh, and I met a French family who recommended a beautiful Gassho-style house to visit the next day. Since there were only two rooms available, we had the chance to get to know the other guests as well."
