Hotel Dengan spa di Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its incredibly convenient location, practically a 2-minute walk from the JR station. It's especially ideal for anyone needing to use JR trains. From the room, you can directly see the station and trains, which is a real treat for train enthusiasts. The hotel provides washing machines and dryers; you can even leave the washing machine running while you're out. However, a full wash and dry cycle takes quite a while, about three hours, so it's best to plan accordingly. The in-room amenities are also impressive, with a ReFa showerhead and hairdryer, offering a pleasant experience. The hotel offers free luggage storage, which is convenient both before check-in and after check-out. For shared facilities, there's a public bath on the 2nd floor, and a free foot bath on the top floor. There are also private hot spring rooms available for 2750 yen for 45 minutes if you prefer a quieter bathing experience. One thing to note is that the room windows have a screen-style design, so remember to draw the inner curtains at night, otherwise, it can get quite bright in the morning. Overall, this hotel's location, facilities, and attention to detail make it very suitable for short trips, especially for those who enjoy taking JR trains or have an interest in them.

Gero Onsen Suimeikan♨️ Japan's top three famous hot springs truly live up to their reputation! I tried all three grand baths, each with a different style: open-air, panoramic, and cypress. The alkaline 'beauty-enhancing' water left my skin feeling incredibly smooth. Soaking in the open-air bath at night under the stars cured all my fatigue. Convenient transportation and the 'one-night, two-meals' plan made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend for a trip to the Chubu region! ✨

Everything was wonderful! The room had its own private plunge pool, and there were two outdoor hot springs that you could reserve for your group to enjoy without anyone else around. Dinner and breakfast were served in a traditional Japanese style, which felt very authentic. What really sets this ryokan apart is that the main dish for dinner is Hida beef from the region. The service was top-notch; everyone was so welcoming and kind. After checking in, you change into traditional attire, and the hotel provides everything else, right down to facial cream. Thank you for such an amazing experience!

Dormy inn at Gifu is located at a central location. If you take the overhead bridge, it’s a much shorter walk (7 mins) to Gifu train station. The hotel is prominently located so it’s hard to miss despite a short 10 mins walk if you walk along the roads. Eateries every where near the train station too. The room has a warm ambiance and is clean and comfortable (with exception of the pillow maybe too thin). There are no shower facilities inside the room as there is a big onsen for use. Travellers who want personal showers in the room may not be suitable. I love the onsen, it’s clean and nicely designed with stone flooring. There is also free Hershey ice cream, noodles at 9pm and all day nice coffee at the counter. Breakfast is worth it as there are many trademark local dishes you must try. What I love most of the hotel is the service. The staff was very friendly when I ask how to go to Gujo Hachiman and even printed the map and bus schedule. The fact they went an extra mile makes me love this hotel very much. Overall this is an amazing good value hotel that I love and highly recommend if you love onsen, food, good coffee. And excellent service too.

First off, the location is super convenient, just about a three-minute walk from Takayama Station, and there are restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The room layout is typical for a business hotel, but the space is much larger, and the bed is big, making for a very comfortable stay. As for service, the front desk staff were very friendly and thoroughly explained the hotel's facilities and operating hours during check-in. Hardware-wise, it's generally a bit old, but there aren't any major issues with functionality. The only problem is the shower setup uses old-fashioned separate knobs for hot and cold water, which can make adjusting the water temperature a bit tricky.

I love this hotel! 1) The view from the hotel is so beautiful. Even inside the Onsen. 2) The customer service is very nice. A very relaxing place. 3) Breakfast is delicious and there is a very nice garden where you can take photos. Highly recommended.

Nice and traditional hotel. Good location and close to the old towns. We explored the Takayama old town in the morning ( incl. morning market ) and night times. We also enjoyed the great food and onsen there. The hotel staffs provided good hospitality in all areas. They really gave us a lots of good services and helps during our stays.

Excellent! Very thoughtful, the room was large, comfortable, and clean. They proactively arranged pick-up and drop-off for both nights, taking us to the area near the station and old town. I was surprised that breakfast and dinner were different on both nights. The stairs next to the entrance lead down to the old town, and they even had ropes to help you down to prevent falls – so considerate!

November 25, 2025 This was the most expensive and luxurious hotel I've ever stayed at. I was assigned to a 'Jing Suite' in the 'Kou Chu Jing' series. Although these suites aren't as newly renovated as the 'Heki Suites,' they come with a jacuzzi! I didn't even bother with the hotel's onsen because of it. My first jacuzzi experience was absolutely amazing. You pull down the blinds, lie back, and watch the small TV in the opposite bathroom, while powerful jets massage your feet. The toiletries were all Sekkisei or POLA (for use in the hotel only, not to be taken). All the drinks in the mini-fridge were complimentary and could be taken with you. Plus, there was a capsule coffee machine in the room with four free capsule coffee flavors. The view from the living room was fantastic. The toilet and bathroom were two separate rooms; the bathroom was closer to the bedroom, while the toilet was next to the living room outside. It had a motion-sensing light, so if you sat there for too long, you'd have to move or the light would turn off by itself 🤣. I called the hotel three days in advance to pay for an upgrade to the highest-tier 'All Hida Beef Dinner.' All the ingredients were Hida beef, and the menu even listed the cow's name and origin. You could also order à la carte from the hotel's partner sushi restaurant; I added sashimi and vinegar crab, and I was absolutely stuffed. Since I contacted them in advance, they provided a complimentary shuttle service to and from Takayama Station. Upon arrival at 12:30 PM, it was a mini-bus, and the driver (a kind older gentleman) was easy to spot, holding a whiteboard with my name written on it. For departure at around 2:00 PM, it was a fancy black sedan, which looked super luxurious. The Nepalese staff member, dressed in a kimono, escorted me to the room and explained everything in detail. The restaurant also had private rooms. For breakfast, you could choose between Japanese or Western. After much deliberation, I opted for the safe and popular Western breakfast because some of the ingredients in the Japanese breakfast were a bit too healthy and exotic for my taste. The most memorable item was the hotel's dashi-rolled omelet, which was incredibly delicious. Milk, orange juice, and tea were all free and unlimited during breakfast. It truly showed that you get what you pay for!

good location,suitable for low budget people,like the onsen
