Hotel berhampiran JR Gero Station, Gero

I'm struggle to put my review in words cause I am amazed by the services offered by the hotel and the staffs. First of all, upon reaching Gero station from Nagoya station using Hida Line, we are thrilled by the surrounding atmosphere and we took our time snapping photos around not knowing that the hotel offers a free shuttle bus for all their customers. The driver waited patiently at the exit gate, holding the hotel sign board waiting for all customers to leave the Gero station. This is a real PLUS in our stays. After we checked in, the staff lead us to our rooms and explained to us on the facilities of the hotel and the staff helped to exchange the size of Yukata after studying our heights. Very observant and thoughtful. There are 3 different hot springs in the hotel and if you have time, you can visit all of them. You can always put on your Yukata and walk inside the hotel region, including the stunning Japanese garden. Just that, most of the services/shops in the hotel are closed on 9pm JST. Remember to plan properly. The room is very spacious with 2 comfortable beds, a small tatami region for you to enjoy your private Japanese tea time. We love the breakfast provided by the hotel as it offered variety of both Japanese and Western breakfast. There is a shuttle bus service (usually once per hour for instance 10am, 11am and 12 noon) to fetch the customers back to Gero station. The staff waved us good bye is another amazing experience provided by Japanese. It is just amazing feeling. Tips: 1. You can purchase the 5Days JR pass and enjoy unlimited ride on some JR trains if you plan to visit Nagoya region and a day trip to Tateyama Alpine Kurobe route. 2. There are not many tourists during our visiting time (24 April 2023) and we love the peaceful feeling of it. Just that, it also comes with not many restaurants are available during the day.

shuttle bus sadly only available after 230pm for check in, so I had to drag luggage to hotel (800m away from station) during noon. private onsen only available once during stay, wish I could book at least twice. hida kaiseki was average. all staff are excellent. room is a bit old but spacious. had a small souvenir shop at lobby too.

建物の作りが面白く階段状になっている。多分もともとの敷地が斜面なので、こういう作りになっているのだと思う。またエレベータがケーブルカーみたいに斜めに上がっていく作りでおもしろい。ただし２台しかなく遅いのでなかなか来ない。せっかちな人は階段が必須だが、階段も広々しているので、個人的には意外と苦にならなかったが人によっては気になると思う。建物は古いが全体としてはまずまず綺麗に維持されていると思う。 部屋もまずまずだが、冷蔵庫が昔の有料仕様で缶とかしか入らない。流石になんとかして欲しい。 夕食はコースにもよると思うが飛騨牛、寿司/刺し身、デザート、お酒なども飲み放題でバラエティもありまあ満足できる内容だった。朝食はブッフェだが普通。 温泉はアルカリ泉でぬるぬるする。好みによるが若干ぬるめでずっと入っていられる。２Fと８Fにあり、８Fのほうが新しく露天になっているので、おすすめ。

ブロック割を利用し平日利用。 色々特典付きのプランで宿泊。 車はスタッフの方が移動してくれます。 部屋までの案内もあり。 特典の色浴衣も傷んでおらず種類もありました。 お部屋も広く清潔。 夕飯は部屋食で満足。 朝食は残念。 大浴場は混雑もなく快適でした。 スタッフの方もいい感じ。 外国籍の方も日本語ばっちりでした。 リーズナブルで満足な滞在でした。 しかし休前日等、混雑した場合は厳しいかもです。

The hotel is settled in the middle of Gero Hot Spring town, short walk from the train station and can also be reached via bus from Kamikochi area. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. You can feel the spirit of older times in this hotel with a lot of beautifully selected decoration pieces. The manager showed us around and even offered us a new room since I accidentally booked one without shower (we declined that offer since we only wanted to stay for one night). That’s why we used the Onsen area for showering which is beautiful and includes all amenities. View above Gero and including an outside Onsen area to watch the sunrise. The staff was very friendly, the manager even drove us to the bus station since we forgot our jackets in the bus. The bar is well-equipped and a great place for a drink or two. One of the best parts was the breakfast. Never had such a good Japanese breakfast before- delicious, served in a private room, beautifully arranged. Next time we want to try their dinner :-) We felt like family and I can recommend anyone going to Gero to stay at this great hotel! Thanks again for your hospitality!

A very homely feel, clean inn. Limited parking lots next to the inn. A bigger car park slightly away from the inn is available. Private onsen can be booked for ¥3,300 a couple, for 45 mins per session A 2-storey inn, no lift. If you have heavy luggage, they will help you carry to your room. Requested for extra pillow and the rattan bedroom was comfy. They have many yukata to choose from, paired with ko-ko shoes & matching rattan bag for your leisurely stroll. From autumn onwards, they have thicker over-coat as well. Staff are from PRC, Malaysia. Speaking Mandarin & English is a breeze.

ひっそりとしたたたずまいの「大人の宿」という感じです。 部屋数が少ないのでフロント前が騒がしくないのがまず気に入りました。 お部屋が1Fだったのでちょこっと外に出ることが出来ました。そこから眺めた山々や見上げた月、川のせせらぎに癒されました。2Fだったら川も見えたのかな？ お風呂は露天と内湯どちらも広くはないけれど、清潔感と落ち着きがあって良かったです。予約制の貸切風呂には入りませんでしたが、入浴時間をずらしたせいか夜も朝も私一人で贅沢に入れました。 そしてお料理が素晴らしいです。見た目が繊細で美しく、どれも本当に美味しかった♡個室で静かに頂けるのも贅沢感があります。 あと、特筆すべきはスタッフの皆さまが良い方ばかりで親切にしていただいた事です。細かいところにたくさんの配慮がありました。例えば、スタッフさんに今日行った場所の話をしたら、お夕食で挨拶に来て下さった女将さんがちゃんと知っていて「あそこに行かれたのですね、いかがでしたか？」と言って頂いたり、前日の朝食の好みを（連泊だったので）翌日のご担当者に引き継いでいて「昨日と同じ、おかゆとトマトジュースで良いですか？」と聞いて下さったり、同じ会話を何度もしなくて良いように情報共有されていたのにも驚きました。 年に一度のご褒美旅行、夫婦でゆったりと楽しい時間を過ごせて大満足でした。 また行きたいと思える素敵なお宿でおすすめです。

Un très ancien et historique ryokan, construit en pleine foret, vraiment magnifique. Tout était bien rien à redire, bus la gare, réception rapide et efficace, chambre avec vue magnifique sur le jardin, repas très bon servis en chambre et les bain son pas mal . ps. Ne pas venir ici si vous recherchez le luxe d'un hôtel 5 étoiles, vous serez déçus , mais si vous recherchez un endroit magnifique, ancien mais authentique, alors se sera que du bonheur.

Located right next to the bus centre in Gujo Hachiman, this is a nice simple hotel with an attached eel or unagi restaurant at the front. It seems as though you don't have to book dinner in advance

Wanosato is located next to a picturesque rock strewn river surrounded by old pine trees. The setting is quiet and relaxing with just the sound of flowing water. If you’re planning to explore Takayama you will need transportation for the short drive there. The well established ryokan has several baths available and they are all enjoyable. Our room was spacious and clean with good AC and a small refrigerator. There is a charge for non alcoholic drinks from the refrigerator which is different from other ryokans on our trip. Meals were excellent without fail and the service level is very good. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Shuttle service to and from the train station. Very pleasant stay.
