I came to Gifu because I wanted to escape the urbanized Kansai and spend a quiet and relaxing time. When I travel to Japan, I always go to a hot spring once a day, so I chose the Chuhachiro Hotel. This ryokan with a long history is located right in front of the Nagara River, has great views, and a public bath with an open-air bath. Access from the station is a bit far, but 4 to 5 buses all depart from Gifu Station and stop a 4-minute walk from the hotel, and you can also rent a bicycle. There is also a festival called Ukai held on the Nagara River in May, so it is the best choice if it suits your purpose. Also, the rooms are very spacious and clean and the staff are very polite and friendly. This is excellent hospitality that is hard to find in any hotel. Breakfast is 2,200 yen as of the date of writing the review, and it is a buffet style with quite a variety of good desserts. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place to stay in Gifu!
