Shirakawago No Yu Hotel

The hotel is very small but in a great location, walking distance to the old village. However, don't expect a lot from the hotel, apart from the onsen, there are nothing much to do. Our room has no toilets or showers, you will have to go outside to do all your business. No slippers are provided so bring your own if you don't want to be barefeet.  Food was not bad and with a lot of small dishes. I found a hair in my dessert at the dinner which I was quite surprise for Japan standard.  Anyway I think I booked too latest min so ran out of options and had to pay a bit more than usual.

吃的不錯，早晚的包餐內容豐富，當然是很多的日本小鹹菜，真的很鹹，不過很精緻，挺好看，也算一種鄉下的體驗吧。房間的設計一般如果要追求純正的鄉村風格或者傳統的設計風格也會有些小失望的，不過挺乾淨，温泉挺大，窗外的景色也不錯。

入住這個旅館最大的特點就是他的早飯，晚飯實在太香啦。又好吃又精緻。 服務員都很熱情周到，給人很舒服的感覺。 唯一不方便的是沒有私人洗漱間，全部要去公共衞生間，真的不太習慣啊。但是公共廁所很乾凈，完全沒有異味。他家的温泉湯也是不提供擦臉油梳子之類，需要自己帶。最不開心的是這個温泉湯是對整個合掌村開放的，不屬於民宿私湯。記得晚上出門散步時，呼啦啦來了住在別的酒店的快20-30個歐美旅行團的成員，大呼小叫的來這裏泡温泉，讓人不舒服。而且湯池很小，接待不了那麼多人的

The room is very spacious and the meals were also great both in quantity and quality. But I think what’s best was the bath as there was an outdoor one, and the front counter sells glass bottles of fresh Hida milk which are perfect as an after-bath drink. Staff knows some English so knowing some basic Japanese helps

住在村裡的招待所

Super location, excellent indoor/outdoor onsen, spotless clean tatami room. All their staffs were friendly and polite. Shared toilet for small room and they were very clean. Luxurious and delicious meals. Love my stay.
