Toyota Shirakawa-Go Eco-Institute

Toyota Shirakawa-go Eco-Institute is a nice place for you to explore the forest pard of Shirakawa-go. They offer a free forest walk tour which can let you know about the diversity of the area. The 6 course French dinner is nice and the bread served in breakfast was lovely. The room is relatively small but the bed is comfortable. Will recommend this place for those who are looking for exploring Shirakawa-go.

The building quality is very neat and clean. The dinner course and breakfast buffet are amazing. The staff are very polite and helpful. There are a lot of family activities you can do here. The hotel located a little bit far from the village, but that's make the hotel environment very quiet and dedicated. If you insist to go to the village, you can ask the staff for a shuttle bus service. There is no private bathroom in my booked room. Maybe the hotel offered you only hot spring bathing (Onsen). The wifi is not that good when there are many guest in the hotel. If you ok with hot spring bathing, do not have any business in the village and do not require internet connection while living, this is very good hotel to stay and enjoy the Shirakawa-go vibe.

That is a beautiful&good place, suitable for family vacations. Many activities there. The staff are warm and attentive. The room and bathroom are clean, beautiful and spacious. The bed is soft and comfortable.Both meals were delicious.

We had a very pleasant stay at Toyota Shirakawa-Go Eco-Institute. The facilities were thought through to the detail. We enjoyed the onsen after a day of exploration. The guided tour walk offer by the hotel was the main reason why we picked to stay here over others. The extra knowledge we learnt about the surrounding is much appreciated. It also made us felt comfortable to explore the area afterwards. Thank you Kagawa-san for recommending us the trail. We got to see the nature a bit more ☺️ Last but the least, to our surprise, we would like to compliment the chef at the restaurant. The meals were exceptional and creative! We enjoyed very much the interpretation of Japanese ingredients into French cuisine. It was perfectly paired and balanced. We also enjoyed the variety of desserts at the end. It is a nice touch, particularly when it comes to dessert decision dilemma 😆 Thank you! It was a perfect place to wind down at the end of our long trip in Japan.

Opted for the half board package for 1 night to explore Shirakawa-go. As it was snowing pretty heavily, we did not explore much around the hotel. Meals were fantastic and staff were helpful and courteous. We stayed in the family tatami room with attach toilet but no bath. Gives us the opportunity to us the Onsen, which the whole family loves.

Staff was super kind and helpful. Place was clean and onsen was lovely. Room rate included a very good dinner and good breakfast so all in all great value.

Beautiful location in the mountains, around 10 min drive from Shirakawago village. Rooms were simple but super clean and cozy, we had a lovely stay. Indoor and outdoor onsen were both very nice. Loved the loungewear, tea etc. We were there for the winter illumination lights up as part of a tour and it added to the entire experience.

It's a great place to experience the mountains and nature while staying for a night, but there's no other advantage than that. I've never seen a place without rinsing, with expensive prices, just that kind of food, and towels for extra money. The facilities are the worst.
