Hotels With Pools in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is a bit out of the way, about a 2000 JPY taxi ride from Gifu city center. The rooms are spacious, with large bathrooms, walk-in closets, and big beds. Although a bit old, it's clean and suitable for families. Service was just okay; we had to go to the front desk ourselves to get an extra bottle of water. Since we were just transiting through Gifu, we only stayed for one night. I wouldn't recommend it for travelers looking for convenient access to explore Gifu.

The hotel rooms are simple and comfortable! In addition to the hot spring facilities in the hotel itself, it is also connected to the isolated building to provide an additional hot spring option; there are also many activity facilities! The hotel is very close to Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku. After the tour, you can rest and soak in the hot springs in the hotel, which is very convenient! The Hida beef kaiseki cuisine is very rich and delicious! The room price includes breakfast and dinner, which is very cost-effective! The hotel service is very good, and there are English-speaking staff introducing hotel facilities and services, etc.! Kaiseki breakfast and dinner have separate rooms for dining; The restaurant staff will explain each food, and their work attitude is serious and enthusiastic. I like the little boy in the restaurant very much! I will choose to stay again in the future and recommend it to friends in Hong Kong!

One of the best I have experienced with ryokan staying. I love a small hotel/inn as it is not crowded. This place answers my expectations. Its location is a bit far off but it is not an issue. It is accessible by public bus from Takayama. Each room has private onsen. It also has 2 outdoor, private onsen on first-come-first-serve basis. There are also public baths for male and female. Room was in good condition. Bathroom is a bit small for me. Only complaint I would have was foot step noise from the room on upper floor. Very annoyed. Food was great. I stayed 2 nights, the hotel provided 2 different types of food - appreciated. Highway recommended.

Check in very convenient when we arrived about 8pm, the staff are very friendly, helpful and speaking English. Takayama Bus Center and JR Takayama station only 5 minutes walk. Check some day tour that available from Takayama Bus Center which is very easy to join. Many restaurants nearby and souvenir shops at the main street. Big room and more than enough space to put our 2 big luggage. A bit unstable hot water from the shower but overall is no complaint and we have a pleasant stay at this hotel.

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.

What a satisfying trip! The duplex room had a living room on the lower level and a bedroom, bathroom, and open-air bath on the upper level, fulfilling my long-held dream of staying in a duplex. The hotel was huge, with public baths on the 2nd and 8th floors respectively. Both were large and very comfortable to soak in, but the open-air bath in the room was even more convenient and relaxing, especially in the morning while enjoying the view – a wonderful experience. The room was fully equipped. Dinner was arranged at the Western restaurant, and my husband said the sound system there was incredibly expensive. Breakfast was a buffet, mainly Japanese-style, which didn't quite suit our tastes.

We specifically chose Suimeikaku for our Gero Onsen trip, and it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the best onsen hotels. The grounds are expansive, featuring three distinct hot spring baths, each with its unique charm – and we tried them all! Our room was spacious and boasted a scenic balcony. The in-room bathroom also had a large bathtub. We enjoyed our kaiseki dinner in the privacy of our own room, and the service from the staff was incredibly attentive. My only slight critique would be that the cuisine was a bit ordinary. A nice touch is that the hotel offers a shuttle service to the station, which, even though we didn't use it, is definitely a plus.
