Onyado Yuinosho

I recently had the opportunity to stay at an onsen hotel, and I must say, my experience was somewhat disappointing. While the hotel had many appealing features, several aspects fell short of expectations. Firstly, the hotel's policy requiring guests to walk barefoot or in socks was problematic due to the cleanliness of the floors. The surfaces did not seem well-maintained, which detracted from the overall experience. I was particularly let down by the private bath. The two only available tubs was filled with bleach, which was concerning and not suitable for relaxation. Additionally, there were no shower facilities provided for rinsing off before or after soaking in the onsen. This made the experience less enjoyable, as I couldn't clean myself immediately before or after enjoying the hot springs. Furthermore, the reservation system for the private baths was poorly organized. There was no clear queue, leading to confusion and frustration among guests who were waiting their turn. Overall, the taste of dinner and breakfast was average, but the environment and service was quite good. Although the hotel offered many attractions and amenities, the execution left much to be desired. Overall, my stay was a case of having high expectations that were not met. I hope the hotel can improve these aspects in the future to provide a better experience for its guests.

Comfortable and clean. Love their concept of no shoes in the hotel and clean up the wheels of all luggages before they are rolled into the hotel. Kids enjoy the ramen supper offering. Yummy and comforting to tummy after onsen. Would be good to book dinner with hotel as all nearby restaurants are mostly close by 5. We were lucky to have assistance from reception staff to point us to the only bbq that is open.

Good view good food good service 😀

My second visit to Shirawakago 🇯🇵 and I am NEVER tired of visiting that UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE Site again & again! 🇯🇵 In fact, I love staying at ONYADO YUINOSHO ♥️ It was my second visit to Shirawakago this year (both in March & in May) and we stayed at the same hotel 🌈 The ambience, food & accommodation was much to RAVE about 👏🏼 We enjoyed EVERY meal as well as the complimentary coffee, ice-cream & probiotic drinks at the hotel 💬 You will be spoilt for choices! 📣 Most importantly, we were impressed with the warm & kind hospitality of the staff (reception, dining & housekeeping) who made our stay SUPERBLY pleasant & memorable 🏆 It will still be my BEST CHOICE for a GREAT ACCOMMODATION when I next visit Shirawakago in the near future! 📇 Kudos to ALL the STAFF of Shirawakago! 🎉🎉🎉

Parking was super easy and location close to the UNESCO heritage site. Room was big and clean. Meals decent; staff were friendly. Long queue to private onsen though.

My stay at Onyado was nothing short of incredible. The highlight was my room facing the serene river, creating a peaceful atmosphere that made my experience truly special. The private onsen was a fantastic touch, providing a perfect way to unwind and enjoy some tranquility. The hotel offers complimentary food and drinks at various times, which was a delightful surprise. I loved walking through the hotel on the comfy tatami floors, and the practice of removing shoes at the entrance added to the authentic Japanese experience. Breakfast was traditional and absolutely delicious, setting the tone for a great day. Overall, Onyado is a gem that combines comfort, charm, and excellent hospitality. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable stay!
