Room rate is unreasonably high considering the quality of services and the hardwares. The meals are of acceptable standard but not impressive esp. the Hida Beef is disappointing in terms of quantity and cooking skill. I have to walk for over a hundred meters with several heavy luggages

With an exceptional location and outside natural springs that must rate as some of the most dramatic anywhere this really is an amazing place. Dinner was fantastic too, much better than expected.

Amazing onsen! In particular, there are two private open-air onsen that can be reserved on a first-come-first-serve basis, and are located next to the river (about 3 mins walk from the ryokan). The only issue I had is that rooms do not come with toilet - need to use a common toilet.

Wonderful hotel, hot natural baths next to river!
We had a great stay here in April 2018. Wonderful Japanese style room with view on the river. Great breakfast and dinner. And awesome hot natural baths (onsen) both inside the hotel and outside the hotel, 5 steps away to the river. We had a bath outside while it was snowing, very memorable!

Excellent environment but need to update facility
The environment is excellent! Bathing in open-air hot spring while snowing is enjoyable. The room is spacious and with beautiful view. However, the electricity wiring inside the room needed to be improved. When we tried to boil water, the fuse blew. The heater in the room shut down. It's 11 o'clock at night and there's no staff in the reception desk. We could not find any phone no. for emergency contact as well. Fortunately, there's air-conditioning in the room and it could bearly keep the room warm in the sub-zero temperature. When we told the staff about no heater last night, the staff told us "OK" and do nothing, like he didn't care at all. We were a bit disappointed as Japanese is well known for their service, perhaps not this hotel.

Magical Experience!
What a hotel! Surrounded by mountains and a lively river stream, this hotel has the best possible location (provided you have a car to reach)! Rooms are clean and the small balcony opens up facing the stream. Balcony has (i think) a heated mattress under the carpet so you feel comfortable sitting in the balcony sipping a hot Ocha in 0 degrees Celsius watching the little snowfall! This is just an awesome experience! Definitely going there again!

Beautiful setting in the mountains. Close to the rope way for hiking. Warm saunas overlooking raging river. Dinner is a bit pricey but there is a nice little restaurant two kilometers down the road with good food at a reasonable price.

Wonderful, authentic stay surrounded by nature!
We had a truly wonderful stay at the Shinzanso inn/ryokan. It was worth the travel. The inn was clean and well kept. The staff was kind and helpful. The food was amazing and we got to indulge in Japanese specialties. The onsen baths were a treat and a special experience. We stayed two nights and it was just the right amount time for us. We also went up the Ropeway to see the view of the Alps. Definitely recommended as part of a larger trip around Japan, we went between our time spent in Tokyo and Kyoto.

Amazing time at Shinzanso
We had an amazing stay at Shinzanso. Getting here can be a little difficult but it is well worth the journey. We did the full board which included the dinner and breakfast and we enjoyed both of our meals. The check-in process was fairly quick and we used signed up for our private onsen time with tons of options for time slots. The Onsen was the most spectacular thing we have done. You cannot imagine the feeling you have when you are surrounded by natural beauty while soaking in the hot spring. If you are going to be in the area or even remotely close, please make a stop here. You will not regret it.

Excellent onsen and very helpful staff
The hotel staff is very helpful. My car was stuck in deep snow and it couldn't move forward or back. The hotel staff handles it all for me and I could just proceed to check in and enjoy the onsen!

今回初めて利用させて頂きました。以下の点が非常に素晴らしいと感じました。 1.立地を活かす必要最小限で十分な設備が細かく手入れされているため、環境の素晴らしさを満喫できる 2.当日に夕食の手配をお願いしたにもかからず、無理を通して下さった 3.他の予定(新穂高ロープウェイ星空鑑賞便)との兼ね合いを含めて、夕食の時間にも融通を聞かせて下さった 4.食材はおそらく殆どが地のもので、飛騨牛や岩魚、野菜、山菜や朴木の葉、味噌や米に至るまで香りも味も最高 5.部屋の洗面台の蛇口から出てくる水が美味しい 6.女性も混浴の露天風呂に入ることができるように配慮されている 7.温泉の泉質が素晴らしい 夏は蛍が宿まで入ってくるそうです。川遊びもできるそうなので次回は夏にお邪魔したいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Experienced a traditional Japanese Onsen Ryokan
The ryokan was just sit aside the river. It was aged but was kept very good. A real traditional ryokan. The outdoor onsens were excellent. I enjoyed the onsens with the nature very much. The staff could be communicated with basic English while I couldn't speak Japanese. The Japanese style dinners were delicious and delighted. I had tasted the top quality Hida beef, as well the yummy local Hoba miso and pickles. The dinners were one of the bests I had during my 7 days tour in Takayama-Hokuriku area. Breakfasts were also nice. Will definitely stay in again.
