Berkshires Shirakaba

New Ashford, Massachusetts.

Come away to the ancient hills and cool forests we call the Berkshires. Breathe our clean air, drink our clear water, toss your head back and see stars as if you'd never seen them before.

Bed and Breakfast Accommodations

Berkshires Shirakaba Guest House is a Luxury Japanese-American Retreat set on a wooded ridgetop in the far north western Massachusetts village of New Ashford.

In this unique Guest House greet the morning with a breakfast you've chosen from a western or Japanese menu. Maybe you'll stroll to the gazebo and sip your coffee with the surrounding colors of the season and the natural beauty of the Berkshires all year round.

Invest some energy in the indoor heated lap pool; it will come back to you with interest. In winter there's a 6 person spa by the pool, but when spring arrives it moves outdoors for you to bask under the stars. Stroll a path to the gazebo and gaze from its clifftop at the hills and vales upholstered in woodland velvet.

Meander upstairs to Ume No Ma (Plum Room), a perfect hideaway for meditating, yoga, enjoying a book or a board game, and even dining and sleeping in the traditional Japanese way with a low table and Tatami Mat floor.

You're not in Japan. But almost. Options abound. Book a private function, or give us 48 hours' notice and we'll welcome you for a six course Japanese dinner.
