Nestled in the serene mountain village of Shiramine, this welcoming inn offers a truly authentic Japanese experience. You'll be treated to exquisite meals featuring local delicacies like fresh river fish and wild mountain vegetables, all thoughtfully prepared by the chef. After a day of exploring, you can unwind in the soothing, 24-hour onsen, overlooking the peaceful village and surrounding peaks, an especially magical view during the snowy season.
