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.
The room was a little small, but it was a very comfortable stay overall. Free parking was provided just a short walk from the property, which was convenient. A simple self-service ochazuke was available for all guests, which was a warm and thoughtful touch.
Shoes are not allowed inside the hotel, so everyone walks around barefoot or in socks. It felt a bit unusual at first, especially while waiting for the lift, but it also meant that no outside shoes were brought into the rooms, helping to keep the space clean and cosy.
This hotel is near city center. The excellent breakfast make your day pleasure. The bed was comfortable. There are a lot of different body masks in the onsen. It help to relax after the city tour.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the JR station, and popular attractions like the Hida Takayama Old Town are just a 10-minute walk away. Coming back to the hotel for a relaxing hot spring bath in the evening was wonderful. The hotel's breakfast was also quite good. Highly recommended!
Onyado Yuinsho was located about 27 mins walk up the hill from shirakawa go bus terminal. It is possible to walk there as it’s a quiet path along the road pavement and a lot of scenery to see. But it’s not advisable unless you miss the 1st shuttle bus to hotel at 3pm. Reason is due to the bears signboards located along the road indicating possible bear attacks. The shuttle bus service is good at scheduled timing available at their website. Service, food and facilities are top notch. I love their attention to details. I will highly recommended you include breakfast and dinner in hotel as the eatery are all about 20 mins walk away and lighting outside hotel is poor at night. The onsen is a must try with different types of cold, hot water, fountain, sit down, indoor and outdoor. The whole hotel is carpeted so schools are not allowed. Overall I love the unique experience and their attention to details.
This is a well-established, classic hotel. As foreign tourists, we definitely took advantage of local resources here. The Chinese restaurant inside isn't really worth trying, but unfortunately, it was the only option available for reservations on the day we stayed. The hot springs, however, were fantastic; it was lovely to quietly enjoy the beauty of fewer people during the off-season. Breakfast was also very good, and all the guests were polite and queued orderly, which made for a harmonious atmosphere – something I hope all travelers can experience. To the right of the main entrance, there are geta (wooden clogs) you can try on, and a short walk to the nearby river leads to a hot spring footbath, which was very pleasant.
Rooms in Japan tend to be small, but at this price point, it's really great value for money and better than I expected. The hotel's location is excellent; you can basically walk to all the attractions without getting tired from exploring. Plus, there's a hot spring you can enjoy!
This is likely the grandest hotel with the best views along the Nagara River, a true five-star property. The rooms are quite spacious; river-facing rooms offer views of Gifu Castle, while those on the other side overlook the stadium. It was undoubtedly the best value-for-money hotel I stayed at during this trip to Japan.
Just had an amazing time in this ryokan with a friend. The public bathroom in the open air - incredible, big, and also a lot of steam, along with the lighting of the lanterns, gives an incredible onsen-vibe! (But it was closed for cleaning at midnight, and not at one in the morning, as written in the brochure). There is also a sauna with a cold bath. After onsen, you can drink milk for free or eat ice cream from frozen juice. There is a separate paid lounge with unlimited beer, wine and whiskey. Private bathrooms are not bad, but not like public ones, plus they were constantly occupied by couples. The bath in the room itself is also not bad, but if you are tall, there may be problems with where to put your feet x) Dinner and breakfast were amazingly tasty. I especially liked the space on the street by the fire, where you can fry marshmallows or just sit after onsen to cool off with a strong drink) During the day we ride to Kamikochi, also a fantastic place)
The hotel is right next to the JR and long-distance bus station. Breakfast was acceptable, but cleanliness was just okay – I found several hairs in the bathtub. The room came with a washer-dryer combo and a microwave. There's also a good Hida beef restaurant just a few meters away. However, this hotel isn't very friendly to guests staying for multiple nights or those who book far in advance. I found that booking early and staying longer actually made it more expensive, and I couldn't make any changes mid-stay, which was a very poor experience. Guests planning to stay here should definitely keep this in mind when booking.

2200910****This hotel is an absolute must-recommend, the top choice in Takayama:
1. There's a shuttle service from Takayama JR Station, with the schedule shown in the pictures.
2. The room is super spacious at 38 sqm, not small even compared to domestic standards; two large suitcases can be opened with no problem at all.
3. The hotel has a European-style decor. While there are some signs of wear and tear, it doesn't affect usability.
4. There are many hot spring baths, half of which are outdoors, with a modern design 👍.
5. Dinner and breakfast are abundant, and the dining environment is upscale and atmospheric 👍.
6. The service is standardized; I didn't experience any differential treatment or discrimination that I've encountered at some other hotels.
7. It's also very convenient for getting to other places, such as taking a bus to Shirakawa-go or connecting to other cities like Toyama and Kanazawa via JR.
AAnonymous UserClose to bus station, self check in/ check out, free ramen at night. Onsen was a bit confusing as a first timer as the shower is inside the onsen area and not in the changing area. Did not bother to wait for the private onsen as many couples were queuing in the public area already. Free popsicles on the way out from onsen.
DDaniuxiaoziThe 31-square-meter room was clean and bright, with a door separating the kitchen and bedroom. The bathroom and shower room were two separate spaces, which was very comfortable. It was fully equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, pots, plates, bowls, and chopsticks. We bought Hida beef from the supermarket and cooked it ourselves. Both large supermarkets are west of the hotel; just exit the hotel, turn left, then left again, cross the railway underpass, and walk straight for 8 minutes to reach them. From the hotel balcony, looking south, you can see the Takayama Nohi Bus Center. The staff were warm and welcoming, and spoke excellent English.

AAnonymous UserTraveling during the National Day holiday, we booked a one-night stay with two meals. After arriving at Shimonokusu Station, an old man holding a sign guided us to the shuttle bus, which was surprisingly full. The meals, for this price (though there was a holiday premium), weren't quite on par with what we've had in Hakone or Okinawa, but they were certainly filling. We were attended to by a Chinese-speaking staff member. The private onsen in our room had extremely hot water, requiring a lot of cold water to temper it. Finally, when checking out and heading to the station, the hotel arranged and paid for a taxi for us.

GGuest UserThis 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!
TTiaodongzhongdexiaoshumiao[”1: The service was really lacking. I had two large suitcases and it was pouring rain, but no one helped me get them into the car. There was no bell boy. The old man at the front desk only helped with my shoes. His English was terrible. When I called the front desk at night, no one could speak English.”,”2: The rooms in the main building are quite spacious and comfortable, but there are no showers in the rooms. You have to go to the large public bath for a shower, and there's only a toilet in the room. If you're traveling with children, definitely don't stay in the main building, unless you're lucky enough to get the room the Emperor stayed in!”,”3: The breakfast was incredibly disappointing. Compared to other onsen hotels, their breakfast was very, very meager.”,”4: The hot spring water is truly excellent; it's wonderful for your skin.”]
