Shirakawa, Gifu Prefecture hotel rooms at the Independent

"A quiet place from busy area and just a little walk to the main Train station or bus for one stop."

"Really nice spot stay a night or 2 to enjoy Shirakawago. Facility amenities is unmatched. Onsite onsen is nice ( private/public). A bit far from the bus station however they do have shuttle service to the bus station and back. Highly recommended especially with a large party."

"We enjoyed the stay here, there are public and private outdoor onsen. It’s was really amazing as it’s snowing when having the onsen outdoor. The breakfast is nice too and there are free flow of drinks, geeen tea, orange juice and beer at the reception. "

"Stayed two nights, probably the best hotel. So convenient to dining options. Walking distance to old town and morning market. Book the deluxe room. Room was huge with 3 beds and a sofa where u can put a futon if have 4 Guest. Also have space for a table and chairs, I could eat breakfast with my family. But the best was the huge powder room, two person can do makeup side by side at same time. Then the washing machine to do laundry and the microwave oven all in your room. The onsen was super nice too. Love the open air onsen, big and beautiful. Parking for rental car was covered and spacious, glad we didn’t park at open carpark as it was snowing overnight and the next day. I will definitely stay again! "

"Amazing hotel with friendly staff. The rooms are cozy, clean and spacious "

"We had an amazing stay at Sanraku; it was so centrally located and close to everything. The hotel lobby is gorgeous, the concierge and the check-in team was fantastic, and we loved it so much we already want to visit and stay here again. Thank you so much!"

"Our recent stay at Tokyu Stay Kanazawa was the absolute highlight of our Japan trip. The hotel seamlessly blends into the modern architecture of the area, making it a visually appealing place to stay. The in-suite washing machine was incredibly convenient and a great help during our journey. Breakfast was amazing, offering a wide variety of delicious Japanese and Western options. The hotel's location is perfect—right in front of bus stations and just a 10-minute ride from Kanazawa station. In short, the hotel was clean, modern, and conveniently located. The staff were exceptionally helpful and polite, making our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!"

"This was one of the best hotel experiences I have had in Japan. The staff was courteous and attentive, and a special shoutout to the shuttle driver for picking us up from the side of the road after flagging him down. 10/10 I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a pleasant stay at Shirakawa-go and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty!"
