Top Shirakawa Hotel Reviews

Hotel INTERGATE KANAZAWA

8/10 Good

"Very convenient hotel. They could use a deep cleaning of the carpets as there is a strong smell in the rooms and stained carpets. Otherwise super comfortable and convenient for seeing the area. Loved the little lounge and community feel."

Hotel Forza Kanazawa

8/10 Good

"We had booked a Comfort Double, non smoking room we found the room clean, small & comfortable you might need to move a few things around to make it more spacious but that is the same in most rooms of that size in Japan. The shower looks a bit weird looking but once you know how to work it, it was fantastic. The Hotel is a easy 15 minute walk from the train station and there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.The only negative thing was I found the breakfast area a bit chaotic when it was busy. I possibly would stay here again depending on price comparing to other hotels of similar style."

HOTEL AMANEK HidaTakayama

10/10 Excellent

"We booked a superior double room queen bed, non smoking room,this hotel is new and modern it has a lovely spacious dining room for breakfast. There is a thermal bath and sauna for tourists who want to wear their swimmers on the top floor which has great views there is also a men and women only thermal bath if you want to go naked. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk away from the train & bus station. There are plenty of restaurants within walk distance. This hotel and Takayama town was one of best places we stayed on our 6 week trip to Japan. We would definitely stay here again."
