It was everything that we had hoped that an onsen ryokan would be. Domo arigato gozaimashita Hotel Shirakawa Yunokura.
It was a wonderful true ryokan. It was a very large room with an amazing view overlooking the river. The staff were so kind and hospitable. This included the gentleman who greeted us at check-in (his English was amazing) and he provided us with helpful information about the local trains. Also, this ryokan included a full Japanese breakfast and dinner, which was so authentic and delicious. We had a private tatami room for every meal and the servers were so warm and gracious. Everything was wonderful! We definitely hope to return.
The only thing we wished we could have had was an access to the balcony outside our room. It would have been nice to be able to sit outside and admire the beautiful view.

Excellent reception and waiting staff (for the meals).
Very polite and helpful to guests
A bit old - the furniture looks a bit worn

A relaxing, pleasant stay
I would like to start with gratitude towards the hotel crew. It was a super rainy day when we arrived at Kinugawa Station and there was no taxi at all. Since the windows of check-in were drawing close, we contacted the hotel to ask if they could arrange a taxi for us. However, shortly after, they notified us that they also couldn't find an available taxi in the area, and they were so kind as to come and pick us up at the station with their own car.
The moment we arrived, we met possibly one of the kindest staff member with the biggest smile. This elderly gentleman explained everything about our stay and made us feel like we're in the right hands for our two-night stay.
Shortly after our check-in, we headed down for dinner. All guests sit in separate rooms with their own service. On both nights, and for the breakfasts, we came to the same place for a tasty and varied kaiseki meal. The service and food were really nice!
The onsen, while it does not have the best views, was really relaxing. The massage chairs right outside the onsen were a great extra.
The tatami beds were really comfortable for both of us, and the kotatsu in the room allowed us to decompress with complimentary ice cream.
Overall, we're very happy with our stay. The hotel is indeed, as others mentioned, a little bit old, but has its charm. Everything worked in our room, the crew was awesome, and the food was great.

A must place to stay when visiting this part of Japan.
Feels like stepping back in time. The hotel is located along the river in and amongst some of the old abandoned hotels in the area. Amazing location on the river bank, the meals were great and the staff were fantastic.
Whilst the rooms were very warm and cosy, the hallways and communal areas were quite chilly.

they gave us a room for smokers, but they knew we were with a kid. My daughter found two ashtrays in the room.
