Hot Springs Hotels in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is a convenient 10-minute walk from the JR station. The front desk staff were very friendly and efficient with the check-in process, paying close attention to detail. The rooftop onsen was decent. I noticed quite a few European guests staying there. The hotel has a good number of rooms, and the breakfast was also enjoyable. Overall, it offers excellent value for money.

It’s a very nice place, 3mins walk from Nohi bus station. Very aesthetic Japanese layout, each room are themed with different Japanese cultures. The staffs are also very friendly and helpful and can’t complaint about the level of service.

We arrived by bus and walked to the hotel in 10 minutes. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station. In the afternoon, they offer a welcome drink and dessert. The room is comfortable, but we couldn't cast our phone screen to the TV or connect a cable, which is a big drawback. We went to the private onsen: you can wash there, the hairdryer is better, and they gave us lotions and drinks (water) as a gift. But it was only for 45 minutes.

I actually booked a two-night stay at the super hard-to-book Gunmikan on Ctrip! The price was less than 2,000, so touching! Take the bus from Takayama to Shinhotaka and get off at H058. After getting off, walk about 10 minutes along the route I drew. If you are good at English, you can also call the hotel to pick you up. A member hotel of the Japan Secret Hot Spring Association, the hot springs are unique, with 9 hot springs, including two mixed bathing hot springs and 4 private hot springs. The hotel's breakfast and dinner are very good. We stayed for two nights, and the dinner on the second day was more exquisite and of higher quality. Because we needed to leave the hotel very early, we couldn't have breakfast in the hotel, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a lunch box for us. A unique hot spring hotel, recommended for people who like hot springs.

The hotel's location is unbeatable, just a few minutes from the Nohi Bus Terminal. It was super convenient for both our arrival and our trip to Kamikochi the next day. The old town is also within easy walking distance, making for a very relaxing stroll. The onsen on the top floor is typical of Dormy Inn – clean and refined. The hotel lobby also has a unique charm. Our child had a wonderful two-day, one-night stay, and we'll definitely be back, hoping to stay longer next time to slowly explore the quiet town of Takayama.

I highly recommend this onsen hotel! The environment, service, and food are all excellent. They have two outdoor private onsens and two indoor private onsens, all free of charge. The public outdoor onsen is also very large, and some rooms even come with their own onsen baths. After your bath, you can enjoy complimentary milk and cold drinks, and in the morning, Yakult. There's a sake happy hour in the evening, and free ramen for a late-night snack! I've stayed at over 20 onsen hotels, and this is the first time I've seen such generosity, haha. The hotel pays great attention to every detail, which is fantastic. For dinner, we chose the Hida beef kaiseki meal, which was also quite good. They offer a free shuttle service. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit!

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.

Traveling with family, we booked three rooms and experienced two different room types. All the rooms were spacious and clean. The Japanese-style room had a charmingly small door. The mountain-view private onsen room had a translucent door, and the large window next to the private onsen had no curtains, which felt like a lack of privacy. Besides the onsen, the hotel also offers billiards, table tennis, and karaoke. The staff were all very enthusiastic, and breakfast was quite refined. There's a free shuttle bus to and from the station during the day. Overall, it was a pretty good stay.

The assigned room was not the one I booked. Instead of East Wing with a mountain view, I got assigned to South Wing, not sure if it is a mountain view but definitely not what I expected (I will attach a photo). But generally, I still had a fantastic experience there. The location is great for me because it is near Shinhotaka Ropeway. The open air onsen was beautiful, I liked it a lot, and went every night. The food was fantastic too! I am not well versed with Japanese food culture, but basically it was the traditional course meal (only dinner) you probably will have in a decent Japanese restaurant. I am a vegetarian, the hotel is prepared for my diet every breakfast and dinner. I must say I am really amazed with their food culture and knife skill. Their front desk was helpful with my needs too like a nail cutter, plaster etc.

It was a lovely stay at Onyado. The service staff were very friendly and the place was relaxing and clean. Food provided for half board was delicious and there was even ramen provided for supper. Private onsen available for those opting privacy but if not the public onsen onsite was great as well.
