Shirakawa Onsen Hanashoan

We visited Kumamoto for a family trip during Golden Week 2026. We traveled for three nights, and for the first night we stayed at Shirakawa Onsen Kashoan. In a word, it is a wonderful Accommodation. The Facilities are spotless, each dinner and breakfast is prepared with great care, and above all, the staff’s hospitality was exceptional—our whole family was truly satisfied with our stay. We travel often, but this is an Accommodation that made me want to write a Review for the first time in quite a while. I’d like to share a few memorable photos.The first day was sunny, but the next day it rained. Even so, the Accommodation in the rain had a different atmosphere from a clear day and felt deeply relaxing.I’m posting only a few photos of the meals, but every dish was carefully made; both presentation and flavor were excellent, and we enjoyed them along with delicious drinks.This time we couldn’t make it to Takachiho Gorge because it was during Golden Week, so when we visit Kyushu again, this is an Accommodation we would love to stay at once more. Thank you very much.

I chose this Accommodation for the second night of my solo trip to Kyushu. When I first entered the Room, I was surprised by how spacious it was and how high the ceiling was. Everything was thoroughly cleaned, and I had a very comfortable stay. The Onsen was relaxing, and the meals I especially looked forward to exceeded my expectations in both variety and taste—I was completely satisfied. The staff were also very courteous, making it an excellent stay overall. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity.
