Book a Higashishirakawa Resort

"This is the place to relax and have a recharge day in the middle of a trip. We checked in after a day of hiking and instantly relaxed, and decided to stay on property the next day. The onsen facilities were great, the buffet fantastic, the views beautiful, the staff very friendly. Make sure you either have plans during the day or a book to read, as there is nothing to do at the property between 9 and 3. I had a book and just spent a peaceful day reading in between onsen hours. Loved it, and would come back again if I visited that area."

"This hotel is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. The staff were helpful and always very friendly. The breakfast option was extraordinary, a private banquet of traditional Japanese dishes. The hot spring is beautiful, a rock pool flowing with healing water, always available. It is right on the Hida River which brings a soft tranquility. The walk into town is short, 15 or 20 minutes brings you to the center of town, with many dining options, temples and shrines. A truly memorable and relaxing experience."

"This is a hybrid between a Japanese style and western style hotel. You have to take your shoes off to approach the reception and to go up to your room, but then have the conundrum of how to roll your luggage up the ramp to reception (which starts from beyond the shoes off area), could have done without it when I arrived tired after my journey. Staff very friendly and speak English. The room was comfortable and I liked the onsen which I used twice. The breakfast buffet was very good."

"Big hotel.. convenient for walking near the river. Must choose new building the newly renovated one"

"Great experience . Shared bathrooms were absolutely no issue. So clean and comfortable "

"The hotel looks new, in a convenient area with many popular dining options, Don Quijote. Staff are polite and auto check-in and fast check-out. Able to park the car right in front if you drive."

"Beautiful authentic stay The hotel is a little old fashioned but still beautiful and the views are spectacular. The onsen public bath was really good too - spacious , clean and relaxing. My whole Emily is reallly happy "

"The room is huge and breakfast and dinner are good, variety of food provided. I enjoyed the hot spring very much."

"There's staff to welcome and orientate us upon arrival. And since it's a large hotel with 3 buildings, the staff briefed us and walked us to the building where our room was. Nice breakfast and we have 3 onsens to choose from! It's also conveniently located within walking distance or a short drive to the main sights at Gero. "
