Homestays in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is not far from Takayama Station and also provides pick-up service. Takayama Old Town, Jinya and other attractions are within walking distance, which is very convenient. We stayed in a Western-style room on the side of Jinya. The room was clean and bright, with all the supplies, and the large bath was also very good. As for the food, since I sent an email to the hotel two weeks in advance to request that one of the guests remove fish from the meal, the hotel was considerate and the food service staff pointed out the changes made to the dishes when serving each dish, and the dishes that replaced the fish were not sloppy, which made me very satisfied. In addition, the service attitude of the staff is also very good, and there are also English-speaking staff to serve guests who do not understand Japanese. In short, the hotel is of high standard in all aspects and I will recommend it to my friends.

The location is very good 👍 It is very convenient to go to several ski resorts nearby. The food is delicious 😋 This price is very suitable.

Extremely satisfied! When traveling, value for money is paramount, and this hotel truly delivers. It's not only conveniently located but also warm and comfortable, especially with the cooking facilities. Though we didn't use the washing machine, its presence was a comforting touch. 1. The bus stop is right downstairs, making for a smooth, unhurried 5-minute walk to catch your bus. 2. Despite being next to the train tracks, the soundproofing is excellent. 3. The drying rack on the balcony was incredibly useful; our clothes dried faster here than at any other hotel during our trip. 4. The kitchen is fully equipped, which is absolutely perfect for travelers. 5. Both Jinya and the market are just a pleasant 10-minute walk away. 6. I recommend requesting a room on the 3rd floor or higher for unobstructed views from the double rooms. 7. Just a 5-minute downhill walk to the left of the hotel brings you to a Boss Supermarket, stocked with all sorts of groceries. The Hida beef, sushi, and sashimi, in particular, were incredibly affordable! 8. The Miyagawa Morning Market, however, was a major disappointment – as is often the case with overly touristy spots, it lacked genuine appeal!

It is a hot spring hotel suitable for families who like to get close to nature. The dinner and breakfast for one stay and two meals are pretty good. The dining area is spacious enough. The only drawback is that the hot spring bathing area is relatively small and old.

The Maps lead us to further location And imagine we had passed the building like 3times back and forth but didn’t know that was it. Pls update the location on the maps here on trip. Room is ok, no shower room no big issue coz we go to onsen anyway. Got buffet dinner and breakfast. But receptionist didn’t update the breakfast cut off time is 8:45am and we reach there by 8:50 its already closed. One thing about japanese onsen resort is that they will close everything in the morning to prevent customer to fully utilise the facilities for what we paid for. We usually rest on the evening the day we arrive and only use the facilities in the morning. Not really recommended here coz they really scare their customer use the facilities😂

**Hotel Review** Unfortunately, my experience at this hot spring hotel did not meet expectations. The dinner service was particularly lacking. The food had already been set up in the room before we arrived, and the waiter offered minimal assistance, only asking if we had lit the fire. There was no explanation of the dishes, nor was a menu provided. To make matters worse, the necessary cutlery for different courses was repeatedly overlooked, which detracted from the overall dining experience. The food itself was unremarkable and didn’t compare to what other hot spring hotels typically offer. The private onsen also posed a challenge. The water switch was broken, leaving no way to adjust the temperature or water flow, resulting in water that was uncomfortably hot throughout our stay. Breakfast the next morning was very basic and lacked the variety or creativity I’ve come to expect from similar establishments. Overall, the hotel did not live up to the standards I’ve experienced elsewhere and left much room for improvement.

I really enjoyed the traditional Japanese inn with a one-night stay, two meals, and private baths. The room was very clean, and the private baths were spacious enough for two adults and two children. I was worried that July would be too hot to soak in the hot springs, but perhaps because it's in the mountains, the weather was pleasant and the evenings were cool, making the hot springs very enjoyable. ❤️ There are also two private baths on site, no reservations required, first come, first served, and the scenery is beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here. 👍🏻

An absolutely fantastic hotel with magnificent scenery and surroundings. It even has foot bath pools right at the entrance. Visiting during the off-season, the price was incredibly reasonable. The hot spring baths within the hotel require no extra charge. There are both outdoor and indoor pools, including options for shared and private hot springs. Any private bath with its light on is available for guests to use. However, please note that the private baths do not have shower facilities. The hotel also organizes several complimentary activities, such as marshmallow roasting. Nestled in a forest, the views are simply breathtaking, no matter where you look. At specific times, guests can enjoy complimentary ice cream, milk, yogurt, coffee, and afternoon tea. There's also a delicious free dinner offered at certain hours, though restaurant reservations are essential. The beautiful views from the restaurant windows make dining there an absolute delight. The hotel offers bathrobes in a wide range of colors and patterns, allowing guests to choose according to their personal taste. While the selection for children's bathrobes is more limited (unlike other hotels that often only provide one generic style), the hotel is still very thoughtful and accommodating.

Facilities: Excellent. The hotel comprises three buildings, each featuring its own onsen bath. Cleanliness: Excellent. Ambiance: Very good. Service: Very good. The front desk staff were incredibly patient and thoughtful, taking the time to explain the hotel's layout and facilities to us. The hotel boasts a prime location in Gero, a renowned onsen town, just a few minutes' walk (a few hundred meters) from the station. There are three onsen baths in total: one on the 9th floor, one on the 3rd, and one on the 1st. The 9th-floor onsen is open 24 hours, while the other two are accessible from 5 AM to midnight. The water quality of the onsen is superb, truly living up to the reputation of such a famous hot spring destination. A soak there makes you want to linger! The hotel breakfast was generous and diverse, a Japanese-style buffet offering a wide selection of drinks that were always promptly replenished. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I would absolutely consider staying here again if I visit Gero in the future.
