- great location close to the bus stop and main street, about 10-15 minutes walk to the ski area - very polite and helpful staff - 30% discount for ski lift tickets and rental! - onsen and sauna can be reserved for private use - tasty breakfast - room was clean and had very stylish design, the equipment was new - great view from the window - good shower, separated bathroom and toilet - check-in procedure was convenient - enter all data online beforehand and after arrival just input the code on tablet, no need to fill forms by hand - welcome snack

- the price was quite expensive - futon was a little too short, barely covering legs - it was japanese-style room with tatami, but would be nice to have some little chairs to sit on the mats

The best Ryokan-stay in the mountains. Booked the 4-5 beds duplex room (family room with shower). Nothing basic but super modern with 3 heaters, 2 bedrooms, livingroom. Very good tea, nice kimonos in the rooms. Location was just 350 m from the bus-stop (25min from train station), and a 3 min walk to the main street of the village with restaurants, shops, public onsen and a short walk to the ski areas. You get discount for ski rentals and you get a heated safe room to store ski gears next to the gondolas. Last but not least, the breakfast buffet was the best. Offered in a cosy breakfast room each morning from 7am onwards. Highly recommended place ! Showers, Japanese modern fully automated rinse and flush systems, ....

all perfect

Shirakaba is an outstanding property. The rooms are beautifully appointed with great attention to detail and very welcoming and comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous, Japanese style or western options if desired. The staff went out of their way to help us when my husband had an accident. The location is great, a short walk to the moving walkway. We hired our skis at shirakaba hire up on the mountain and left them there at the end of each day to walk back to shirakaba accommodation.

Shirakaba was located minutes away from the bus terminal which is important if it’s snowing. The room could accommodate 7 adults very comfortably. The front desk were so helpful with dining reservations, massages and getting us to the Snow Monkeys via taxi.

Unfortunately these ryokans do not have elevators so we had to carry up our luggage to the 3rd floor.

- Excellent location, walking distance to the town's main street and the ski field access. - Room was very clean, the shower had excellent water pressure. - The bookable in-house hot tub, ice bath, and sauna pulled no punches temperature-wise, which was much appreciated after days snowboarding. - They sold ski-lift passes at reception, and had a sister rental store at the gondola station where visitors could get a discount (Note that the code for this is at the reception desk).

The property was excellent in every way. Our room was a family room and it had two separate sleeping rooms and a living room. It was bigger than I expected. The room and bedding were super comfy and cosy Japanese style. Breakfast was amazing. Fabulous choice of Japanese and western. Location fabulous and staff really nice and accommodating.

Location was perfect and close to the main street.. The breakfast was tasty and the staff helped with discount lift passes and discount snowboard hire. The hotel’s private Onsen was the perfect way to end the day (just have to prebook)

Nothing, the perfect place to stay for a snow holiday

The accommodation was very clean and the staff were all lovely, welcoming and incredibly helpful with organising things like lift passes, snow hire and making dinner reservations. Delicious breakfast every morning with mostly Japanese food + tea and coffee. The accommodation was in an excellent position, just a short walk to the moving stairs, the shops, restaurants, onsens and bus station.

A beautiful Ryokan, very comfortable. Our family room was very spacious and well appointed. Great location in the centre of town, easy walking distance to the travelling walkway, restaurants and bus station. Breakfast was great, with day to day variety. Lovely hosts.

We stayed in the annex and had a lovely large suite. Breakfast was great, the laundry facilities were really useful and we loved the private bath. Access to the snow was easy and we appreciated the discount on ski hire.
