An excellent ryokan located in the center of Sujiyu Onsen. There are 4 family baths for every 10 guest rooms, so unless you're really unlucky, you won't have to wait. The quality of the spring water is smooth. All the employees are courteous and provide excellent service without being over the top. Although it's quite far away, I think I'll visit again. In the morning, he will come to see you off at the parking lot. Hats off to the sincere service. Recommended.

It wasn't a particularly large inn, but it was a clean and harmonious inn. Although we stayed during the hot summer season, the abundance of family baths and open-air baths were comfortable as the quality of the hot spring water and the water temperature (temperature) matched. Also, the quality of the food was very high and the cost performance was good. It was a very nice inn where I could feel the young staff's thoughtfulness toward the guests. I could somehow understand why there were so many frog figurines.

I decided to stay at Sujiyu Onsen and went to Shirataki.There is a parking lot in front, and the reception staff are very nice. Apparently the entrance is on the 3rd floor, so I chose a room with a semi-open-air bath, and my room was on the 1st floor, so I went down the stairs.The room and bathroom are clean, and the amenities are average.Cleaning was thorough.The horse tataki meal was delicious!There are individual differences in the perception of cost performance, but while I wasn't impressed, I don't have any complaints.The charm of this inn is the staff.

I stayed here for one night while climbing for two days in a row.For example, increase the amount of side dishes for dinner, change to rice balls for breakfast, and have it served earlier.They responded to my selfish wishes without cutting corners.Also, when I was checking out early in the morning, I told him that I had hurt my knee from climbing yesterday, and he drove to my house to pick up some compresses and even handed them to me.Thanks to all of you, we were able to reach the summit safely and enjoy some delicious rice balls at the top.The rooms are simple, but clean and have a very good impression.The food was served in sufficient quantities and each dish was delicious.I think this is a highly recommended accommodation!

The room had been renovated and was beautiful. Best of all is the hot spring in the room. The amount of hot water is sufficient, and soaking in the hot springs while listening to the sound of the river is the best. I was also able to see fireflies from my room. Dinner was also ample and delicious. This is an inn where I would like to come back to enjoy the hot springs.

Although it is an old, well-established inn, it was clean and very comfortable. I was happy to be able to watch fireflies this season. It was a room with a semi-open air. Perfect, the morning bath was heaven. The landlady was very friendly and the staff were all very nice.

I had made a reservation for a wedding anniversary stay for a while, but I was disappointed because things turned out to be inconvenient. However, this time, my birthday coincided, and I was finally able to stay at Shirataki-san, which was my dream!I chose a room with a semi-open-air bath, and everything was more than I expected. The cleanliness of the room, not only the bath in the room, but also the family bath and large open-air bath for men and women, were kept clean, and I never felt the slimy bottom and sides of the bathtub, which sometimes happens at other hotels. did not. My husband said he was also impressed by this.The food was beautifully presented in stylish bowls, and I was completely satisfied with its appearance, taste, quantity, and the politeness of the serving staff.What I was especially happy about was being able to talk to the landlady at length. I saw the Mainichi landlady write about plants, mountain climbing with her dog, the surrounding scenery, etc. on her blog, so I wanted to talk to her about it as soon as possible (lol).I love Sujiyu, and I was supposed to visit all 20 Sujiyu inns, but with only 6 remaining, my husband said, ``You can go to the others, and from now on, you can just stay at Shirataki-san.'' ” he said. I feel the same way.This is a long story, but I hope everyone will experience Shirataki-san once. You will definitely be satisfied!Mr. Landlady, I will visit you again around the time of autumn leaves. looking forward to it.
