Hakuba Onsen Ryokan Shirouma-so

Love everything this rokyan has to offer from the service to the food and location. It’s not difficult to find and within walking distance still even if you lug luggage, the road is not rocky or too many obstacles. Quite a few interesting things to look at and shop or eat along the way including a stop at snow peak.

Stayed 3 nights in early October. Was able to arrange stay by directly contacting hotel, despite website saying no availability Hotel Manager (Owner, May?) Wonderful, quaint small Ryokan hotel. Easy to get to from bus station. Great traditional food for breakfast and had dinner one night…superb local fish, vegetables and assorted delicacies. Delicious chilled Buckwheat tea daily in lobby! Onsen was the highlight…very quiet and relaxing. May made our visit so superb, discount lift tickets to Happo pond, dinner reservations @ Zen Soba restaurant, shuttle to train station. As I learned during our stay, the experience was truly “ Subarashii”
