Reviews of Gokayama Onsen Akaokan

It was a very pleasant stay with my family, though quiet but truly a great getaway from hectic work life and rejuvenate!

The service of this litle ryokan was great. A lovely women who incharge of this place told us with a great patience about all what is worth to see around. When we entered to our japaeese stile room, hot tea with japaeese cookies was already waiting for us and the room was heated. She told us about the room and how to use everything and served us the tea. The onsen was great. After eating a very reach and tasty japaneese breakfast, following our host edvise, we went to a big ancient house that is a museum now for ancient way of life in this area. The house was located just infront of our ryokan and it was the most intresting thing we had this day. The host in this little museum made us private tour and even played on old instrumens and peformed sa song. The ryokan is located between Shirakawa and gokoyama. Gokoyama.closer to the Ryokan and we found it more outhentic and intresting than the famous Shirakawa vilage that happened to be full of tourists and shopings and seemed to loose its authenticity.

Nice place with free parking. Very nice and helpful staff. Dinner and breakfast are nice with full of Japanese culture. Very comfortable hot spring. Honestly, it’s a bit old but they keep it very clean and nice. Really happy to be here.

A magical traditional Japanese inn. You have to wear slippers when entering the inn. The elderly are very enthusiastic and the whole village is very welcoming. I haven't experienced that kind of simplicity for a long time. There are singing and dancing performances, very delicious Sichuan fish, and a call to eat breakfast early. It feels like home.

It is a historic accommodation But the place is kept clean. The taste of the two meals is also very good and rich. It is only a 20-minute drive from Shirakawa-go. If you are unable to book a hotel in Shirakawa-go, Staying at this hotel is also recommended.

The room is relatively large, old-fashioned and clean
