Biei Shirogane Onsen Aonobi Yuyu Hotel

3-star hot spring retreat by Shirahige Falls in Biei, with rich metasilicic acid onsen water and buffet dining using local Hokkaido ingredients

Accommodations

Biei Shirogane Onsen Aonobi Yuyu offers Japanese-style rooms with tatami floors, futon bedding, and a seating area with chairs and a coffee table. Each room includes an LCD TV, a fridge, and yukata robes, with private bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Some Canyon View Suite Type B rooms have a shower and panoramic views of the surrounding canyon and mountains.

Hot Springs & Wellness

The hotel's hot spring uses metasilicic acid-rich water, a key feature found in the indoor and outdoor baths and public bath. Guests have access to a sauna and open-air bath, with the outdoor onsen offering views of the Shirogane Bridge and river. The onsen area provides shampoo and body wash at no extra charge, unlike the in-room bathrooms where these items are not provided.

Dining

Buffet-style breakfast and dinner are served in the basement dining room, accessible by elevator, with a rotating selection of local ingredients that includes fresh sashimi, wagyu steak, tempura, and sushi. The buffet also features sukiyaki, ramen, local milk, and yakult, with hand-drawn illustrations of dishes displayed at the buffet station. A sake and local product shop is on-site, and special anniversary gifts can be arranged by request at an extra charge.
