Mountain View Hotels in Gero

"My friends and I were looking for an affordable onsen hotel, which is why we chose Gero Yamagataya Onsen Hotel. First, let's talk about the pros: the price is quite reasonable for an onsen hotel, and the rooms are clean and tidy. Now for the cons: the service is a far cry from what you'd expect at a traditional Japanese onsen hotel. When we arrived at Gero Station, we saw staff from Suimeikan and Yunoshimakan holding signs to pick up guests, but after searching everywhere, there was no one from Yamagataya. We ended up waiting for 10-20 minutes and had to take a taxi to the hotel. Although it wasn't far, we didn't have to pay the taxi fare as the hotel covered it upon arrival. However, no one at the hotel entrance offered to help us with our luggage. Furthermore, the breakfast and dinner were the worst I've ever had at an onsen hotel in Japan. Breakfast felt like a staff cafeteria, with no milk or coffee even. I really regret not choosing Suimeikan or Yunoshimakan Onsen Hotel instead."

"quite far from jr station but walkable and have bus transfer service dinner and breakfast are unexpectedly great both enjoyed the hida wagyu so much, very tender and juicy hotspring environment is authentic, traditional and family friendly nearby attractions are reachable"

"This hot spring hotel is mostly occupied by Japanese people and there are very few foreign tourists. Everything is better than expected, and the package with two meals is very cost-effective. The room is in traditional Japanese style, very large and old but very clean. The hot spring pool has indoor and outdoor areas. When I went to soak in the outdoor area at 4 pm on the first day, I was the only one there and the environment was very good. When checking in, the front desk will let you choose the dining time. The buffet is divided into three time periods. I chose the earliest time period. It was basically full every time, and there were a lot of delicious food. According to the comments, there is a free shuttle every half an hour, but in fact, the shuttle needs to be booked in advance and is not free. I walked to the hotel because I didn't wait for the shuttle. People with a lot of luggage are advised to take a taxi or leave the large luggage at the station because the second half of the walk to the hotel is uphill and it is tiring to drag the suitcase."

"This is the best onsen hotel we’ve stayed in, among those we’ve stayed in for the past 12 years! We stayed here for 2 nights. We’ve extremely grateful to the hosts for their outstanding service and hospitality from the heart. Loved the thoughtfully varied menu for each meal. The establishment is spotlessly clean and excellently maintained. Each morning, our towels and yukata (hotel gowns) were replaced. So were the amenities ( fragrant green tea packs, snacks). The housekeeping staff even offered to mop our rooms after only one night’s stay. The wifi was also fast and sustained well in the guest room and public lounge areas. There are facilities to cater to a wide range of age groups from seniors like us and children too. There were ample resting chairs in the lounge and on the way to the historian’s well as guest rooms. The best facility was the hot springs! They are exactly as depicted in the hotel website. Numerous indoor pools of various temperature all have the renowned ‘beautifying’ odorless alkaline water. My skin felt so smooth and moisturized after only one soak. What’s more the hot springs stay open for in-house guests from 10.30 am to 11 pm and day-trip visitors from 10.30 am to 8 pm. In-house guests can also use the hotsprings early from 6 to 9 am. There is a European dry sauna as well as wet steam rooms in both make and female hotspring areas. We would love to stay here again!"

"Location: At the main store in Gero, it only takes about 5 minutes to walk. You can also go to the hotel without taking a taxi from the train station. The hotel will cover the taxi fare, which is very considerate. When I left the hotel, they took the initiative to call a taxi for me. 10 points for praise Facilities: The bathroom is very comfortable, the bed is also very comfortable, everything makes me feel 10 points comfortable, highly recommended"

"Exceptional accommodation and service! My husband and I purely enjoyed our time at Yunoshimakan. We had a room with private open air bath because of my tattoos (so public bath wasn’t an option), and it was 100% worth its price. Kaiseki dinner was excellent, the buildings are adorable, we couldn’t wish a better service. Before coming, I thought that more than 1 day at onsen is waste of time — and totally regret the hadn’t made a choice to stay for a longer time. My advice: order a taxi or ask for a transfer if you carry a suitcase. I am really sorry for my husband who needed to carry our luggage 300m upstairs."

"The hotel facilities are old, the hot spring experience is average, it feels like it is just because of the Gero Onsen, otherwise the hotel is not worth the price, the hot spring water is really slippery, Gero's cost performance is not very high, except for the rich"

"Gero Hongyekan Wanboting is really great! In Japan's three famous springs, Geroizumi, the service is very good. There is an open-air bath on the roof of a sister hotel, and there is a car to pick up and drop off at any time from 9 to 12 in the evening, which is very convenient. The water quality is so good, the sun that soaks up the skin will slide down when it falls on it. A wonderful hotel experience! The beauty at the front desk drove me out to buy urgently needed products when I was in an emergency. Every detail was great. The Japanese-style room was also spacious. I really like this place. I will definitely go again if I have a chance, and I will definitely stay here again. hotel. Breakfast is included, and the environment and ceremony are very beautiful! The hotel itself has indoor and outdoor hot springs. When it snows, get up early in the morning to soak in that outdoor hot spring, which is quiet and beautiful! Its sister pavilion has a very strange inclined elevator, and the hot spring water is the smoothest I have ever soaked in."

"Stayed at Suimekan Gero Onsen and had a wonderful experience. The staff, especially Adajisan, was incredibly kind, helpful, and gave great recommendations. The hotel offers 3 different onsen baths, very relaxing and well maintained. There is also a game area, making the stay fun and enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Gero Onsen!"

"Compared to other hotels, this one offers great value for money. The rooms are clean and tidy, and you can even wear their yukata (light cotton robe) to walk around in the street – it has a nice feel to it. Breakfast includes bread, juice, and soup; it's simple, but quite good."
