Hotels With Pools in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

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.

The hotel is extremely well-maintained. It boasts a classic 'old money' design which, while showing its age a little, is kept spotlessly clean with not even a hint of mustiness. The hotel service was also excellent, and they certainly didn't relegate foreigners to undesirable corner rooms. For our family of three, including a child, I booked two rooms. The hotel thoughtfully connected them, creating a spacious suite of over 70 square meters. Absolutely superb value for money!

Remote location but near to shinhotake ropeway. Very quaint hotel. We stayed in a Japanese room. We did not have dinner in hotel and have to step out when they make the bed for the evening. We were told we can stay in the room but felt that we got in the way. They were very efficient and it was done in under 15mins. The hotel was small and there were 2 different wings. It’s a bit troublesome to take 2 diff lifts to go to dining area/bath. Front desk was earnest but non english speaking. The outdoor baths were really nice. You have to take a small single cabin inclined elevator that you operate on your own to get there. Otherwise a short climb/ stairs. Breakfast was splendid and one of the best we had experienced during our trip. Ingredients were fresh and the portions were just nice.

It's a big hotel, but the front desk staff is also kind and will speak to you immediately. I was able to eat smoothly. I wonder if the young waiter is a part-time job. There were some delicate tricks, but I was able to spend a delicious and fun time. Please do your best. I will change it to support. I would like to stay with a different plan if I have another chance.

the place is famous, for thailand theater shows, foods in many varieties but cant say good. when we check in we are greet by a front desk clerk,with no smile, and tired face.and since i was a foreigner but good in japanese, communication did not go so well though he is not nice explaning everything. but the foreigners workin there is so nice. the ofuro is good but can say not what we expect. in the morning we check out staff were all good and smiling.

Wife and I traveling from the USA. We found this place to be ideal for a pre and post Nakasendo trail hike (although the trail itself was not that special). The staff was friendly and spoke English well enough. The on-site onsen (separate sexes) was clean and perfect for after a hard day’s hiking. Breakfast was fun and a bit of a hurdle if you’ve not had Japanese-style breakfasts. Hotel decor seemed straight out of the 1960s, but it found it charming. One suggestion for hotel: list the times of the free shuttles from the train station more prominently on your website.

I really enjoyed the traditional Japanese inn with a one-night stay, two meals, and private baths. The room was very clean, and the private baths were spacious enough for two adults and two children. I was worried that July would be too hot to soak in the hot springs, but perhaps because it's in the mountains, the weather was pleasant and the evenings were cool, making the hot springs very enjoyable. ❤️ There are also two private baths on site, no reservations required, first come, first served, and the scenery is beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here. 👍🏻
