ROOM
At SALUGABAMBA, our rooms may not be as luxurious as hotels, but our theme revolves around minimalism and cleanliness, providing you with a relaxing and comfortable stay. We aim to make your stay enjoyable.
We have prepared towels in the room for you to take to the hot springs. As we are a small inn, please be mindful of the neighboring rooms and keep noise levels down during your stay.
As it is a hostel, we do not provide room amenities or pajamas to reduce waste and protect the environment. If you forget any essentials like a toothbrush, they are available for purchase at the first-floor market.
Please refrain from pillow fights, as fun as they may seem.
The restroom and toilet facilities are located on the first floor. Hairdryers are available in the dressing room or the restroom.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Enjoy your stay!

At our SALUGABAMBA dining hall, we earnestly hope that our guests will leave here feeling rejuvenated since they have come all the way to this remote mountain location. In spring, we offer dishes featuring wild mountain vegetables gathered by ourselves and our companions. During summer, we focus on menus with freshly harvested, pesticide-free vegetables grown by us. In autumn, we prepare dishes with mushrooms gathered from nearby mountains, and during the snowy winter, we incorporate menus with pesticide-free vegetables delivered by our companions. Each season, we propose fermented food options suited to that time of the year.
We use only living seasonings in our dishes. The miso and koji we use are produced by HAKKO-do, a handcrafted miso maker in Shirakawa-go. Our ketchup and mayonnaise are also homemade with special care. We serve only the kind of dishes that we would want to feed our own children.
Rather than conforming to the mass production and consumption prevalent in modern times, we take a step back and offer the luxurious experience of savoring the contentment of having just enough.
Oh, and we also have alcoholic beverages that are bad for your health!
food
Although our breakfast is simple, it is designed to promote good health. The landlady has crafted a perfect seasonal vegetable menu for your morning. We offer freshly cooked rice in a clay pot and a variety of vegetables seasoned with fermented condiments. Our miso soup is made using homemade koji and a special miso from HAKKO-do, crafted with organic soybeans from Shirakawa-go. Enjoy SALUGABAMBA's original healthy dishes.
Dinner is not included in the accommodation package, but you can dine at our first-floor restaurant. If you prefer a table seat, please make a reservation in advance. There are also excellent dining options in Shirakawa-go, so feel free to enjoy meals outside. If you have any specific preferences, our staff will be happy to assist you and make reservations on your behalf.
By the way, of course, we offer morning beers for guests who are not driving. There's nothing like a beer first thing in the morning, right?
drink
"Our motto at SALUGABAMBA is 'Delicious food goes hand in hand with delicious drinks!' We have prepared a wide selection of quality alcohol that will satisfy any alcohol enthusiast.
As you travel to different regions, you encounter unique dishes and ingredients, making it an amazing experience. However, sometimes, it's disappointing when you can't find good drinks to complement the food. In response to that, we offer the finest draft beer, cocktails, tequila, as well as rare Japanese whiskies, meticulously crafted natural wines from around the world, pure rice sake without added brewer's alcohol, and craft beers mainly from the USA. From top-notch to more casual choices, our lineup is sure to satisfy all alcohol lovers.
Please be aware that if you don't visit us soon, our staff might finish all the drinks themselves! We are looking forward to your visit."
We have a theme of "kindness" in our selection, which includes items from both friends and local artisans. We are committed to avoiding mass-produced products.
We offer handmade art pieces from Japan, delicious snacks, and essential everyday items. For our guests' convenience, we also provide "Nature-friendly" themed bath amenities (shampoo, conditioner, and body soap) that we use in our accommodations for purchase.
By choosing products that align with our theme, we aim to protect the nature of Shirakawa-go. However, we must admit that sometimes, even we indulge in some junk food!
Please enjoy the Serugabamba Select items, which are both nature and body-friendly.
