Although the hotel building and its facilities are a little bit old, the room is very clean and hotel staff are very friendly. It takes about 15 minutes’ walk from New Shirakawa (Shin Shirakawa) Train Station, or you can catch a taxi at about 1000 Yen. There are several restaurants located within five minutes’ walking distance, however, it is relatively far from downtown Shirakawa and Komine Castle.

とても綺麗で清潔なお部屋でした。部屋が広い上お風呂が広くて感動しました。国道沿いにあるので車でくる人は良いと思いますが新幹線でくる人はちょっと歩くので遠く感じる人もいるかもしれません。とても良いホテルでしたがWi-Fiの速度が遅いのと、朝ごはんのメニューがちょっと残念でした。
