Ogawaya Reviews

No shuttle service after 8 pm, but free shuttle taxi service bfe that. Big, difficult to locate the hotsprings at the beginning. Very beautiful view of the town n river from the lobby. Breakfast is fantastic but time is short. Closed a bit too early ie 9am. some area in the tatami room has no heating. Making u easy to get a cold.

The onsen quality in Gero district is really superior. Skin feels very silky. The floor structure can feel confusing but we got used to it very quickly. The hotel offers good onsen and kaiseiki experience at economical price. Lots of local Japanese so it felt very authentic. The only downsides are 1. lack of entertainment options eg local performance, art & craft for young kids 2. Very crowded breakfast time. They could arrange different breakfast halls to divert the crowd or give timeslot tickets in advance.

Great location, hardware is a bit worn out, room is big but considering the modern travelling the power outlets are a bit far from sleeping area, Japanese hot spring is very good, staffs are excellent

The hotel room was big and they provide free shuttle from train station to hotel and vice versa. The receptionist staff were friendly and can communicate in English. They booked me a private onsen, which was very refreshing.

Excellent! Very satisfied for this onsen hotel!! Definitely recommend this accommodation to friends and family. Everything is over expectation: services, facilities, room, public bath (onsen), food, and all. One drawback would be language barrier between some staff, but they really trying to communicate with us which is impressive. Also, there is a free shuttle bus service between train station and hotel during daytime, very convenient. Tips for me is to book this hotel on weekdays, it is half price cheaper than weekends or holidays.

Good location Good hot spring Good view

Location is good, but if your luggage is big it's a .bit trouble Breakfast is so so.

Cost-effective accommodation in Gero Onsen This time I chose to stay at Gero Onsen Ogawaya. As soon as I entered, it exuded a strong Japanese antique style. The triple room was so big and the view was so comfortable. About the dinner, there are fresh sashimi, exquisite snacks, and Hida Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth. It will be an unforgettable experience. After a delicious dinner, it’s so cool to go to the hot springs! After waking up the next morning, go to Gassho Village and listen to the sound of wind chimes, which is especially peaceful.

It is a very high CP value onsen hotel Rating Onsen 8/10 Room 7/10 Breakfast 8/10 Services 8/10

Room and Onsen is good, dinner is ok, very near to the train station.

Love this ryokan, there are 3 public baths and private onsen, with other facilities. The staff were friendly and helpful. The ryokan also provides shuttle bus from Gero station. Walking from the station is also not too far.

The location is amazing and the breakfast was really good. However the traditional Japanese room that we stayed in was on the old side and had an unpleasant scent when we first walked in (probably the old tatami). Also the building we stayed in we had to walk pass the smoking room which you can also smell the smoke in the elevator.. The public onsen was newly renovated so in very good condition, we wish we could had booked one of the rooms so the overall experience would be even more pleasant!

Very good facility
