Gokasanso, hotel in Shirakawa

Located in the Gokayama hot-spring area, Gokasanso offers Japanese and Western-style accommodations with a flat-screen TV.

Wonderful staff and excellent service. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The traditional welcome performance (available on certain days) was excellent and educational, although seems to be only available in Japanese. Room was very spacious and comfortable and overall great value. This is a great place to stay to explore the Gassho villages of Gokayama, Ainokura and Suganuma (we took the bus) and we much preferred these quieter authentic towns to Shirakawago which was packed with tourists.

    Generous supply of food in the fridge & kitchen table. Comfortable tatami room & futons. Cable for charging of devices. Good location near the village, convenience store , eateries. The informative self-made/drawn booklets on what to do, eat, see in the village. Thanks also for the free passes to the nearby hot spring (think we got them cos we stayed 2 nights).

    Location was absolutely fantastic and only a short drive to the Shirakawago heritage sites. The onsens were also lovely and the surroundings were quite special. Rooms were spacious and comfortable and we had a great view from the room. All the ryokan esque facilities (lounge wear, free beverages etc) all topped it off. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

    The room was very big and the hotel was perfect. The onsen is also very nice and inside the hotel there are some activities such as wearing a yukata or late noodles in the night which are already included on the price.
