Hotel Shirakawa Yunokura

I visited with my parents. For this trip, we were looking for an Accommodation with a smoking-allowed Room for my father, who is a smoker, and a private Onsen for my mother, who doesn’t like going to large public baths—so we chose Yunokura. The Room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and I was surprised at how cute the in-room bath was. There was a notice saying “Approved for Onsen Use,” so I wonder if the in-room bath also uses Onsen water. My mother really liked it and unusually woke up early to enjoy a morning bath.Dinner and breakfast were served in a private dining room, and everything was delicious—especially the “Himitsu Pork” shabu-shabu, which was outstanding. What we loved most was the private Onsen: the changing area was spacious, amenities were well provided, and there was even a large sofa. We said it would be nice to relax on the sofa if we had extra time, but the Onsen was so good that before we knew it we were right up against our time limit. My mother and I used it together, and it felt almost too spacious to be truly private—a wonderful bath.Finally, all of the staff were polite and pleasant; not once did we feel uncomfortable during our stay. This is an Accommodation I would confidently recommend to friends.

We stayed on the birthday Plan, and the hospitality was wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were very satisfying in portion size, and everything tasted delicious. We were also touched by the gift from the Accommodation—thank you very much. The private open-air bath was beautifully designed, and we could relax without worrying about time. We used the large public bath after breakfast until check-out, and it was almost like having it to ourselves, so we could fully enjoy soaking in the Onsen. We truly felt the kindness in how the staff treated us, and thought it was a really wonderful place. On our way home, we talked about how we want to come back again together.
