Hotels With Bar in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Gero is a very tranquil town, and the main reason we chose Suimeikan out of all the onsen hotels was its location. It's incredibly convenient for travelers like us who are dragging luggage and relying on public transport. The room was spacious, and the breakfast was excellent. My skin felt so smooth after soaking in the hot spring!

Sakura Guest House is a hidden gem in Takayama. I stayed here for 4 consecutive nights. I arrived at Takayama Station by local train from Toyama, transferring at Inotani Station, a journey of about 2 hours in total, costing 1690 yen. From the East Exit of Takayama Station, I turned left and walked straight along the main road for about 700 meters, reaching the guesthouse in about 10 minutes. From the guesthouse, it's a walkable distance to tourist attractions like Miyagawa Morning Market, the historical preservation area of Machiya, Takayama Jinya, Jinya Morning Market, Hachiman-gu Shrine's grand torii gate, and Higashiyama Walking Course. It's also convenient to take the Nohi Bus to destinations like Shirakawa-go, Kamikochi, and Shinhotaka. I stayed in a mixed dormitory bunk bed on the second floor, which has 10 beds. The bedding was soft and comfortable. The entire guesthouse is clean and beautiful, with complete facilities, including a drying area. There are 4 spacious shower rooms on the first floor, and a total of 4 women's restrooms on both the first and second floors. The first floor also has a communal lounge and a common kitchen equipped with an induction cooker, refrigerator, microwave, oven, kettle, tea bags, and coffee. You can buy ingredients at a nearby large supermarket and cook your own meals. On the second floor, there's a coin-operated washing machine (300 yen per wash) and a dryer (100 yen for 20 minutes). What was truly touching and memorable was how exceptionally gentle and friendly the owners were. Their service was incredibly thoughtful and warm. Despite me not knowing English or Japanese, they patiently explained everything to me using a translator, constantly emphasizing that I should feel free to approach them with any questions. My bottom bunk (bed C) didn't have a privacy panel at the head of the bed, which I felt lacked privacy and caused disturbance when others came to this corner to retrieve their luggage. When I raised this issue with the owner, he immediately found cardboard and taped it up, allowing me to sleep peacefully. I felt very safe and warm because of this. This guesthouse is the best place to stay when traveling solo in Takayama, offering excellent value for money. I had a wonderful and pleasant trip here. I absolutely love Takayama and will definitely return to stay here again. See you next time!”

Awesome hotel located just 5-10mins walk behind FamilyMart ie opposite the TAKAYAMA NOHI Bus Stn & JR. The check in was easy & front desk staff was very professional ensuring the process was easy & swift! The hotel has a great & large Hot Spring and outdoor Rotenburo Onsen they’re segregated Men-Women. The onsen lobby has large lounge space to relax, free ice cream and a large full length glass window overlooking you may sit on chairs & coin operated massage chairs enjoying the beautiful town and fabulous snow capped mountains at the edge of the town in the day & sunrise!! The morning Japanese breakfast options are plentiful, staffs are helpful and friendly too! To walk to the Old Houses District perhaps only take 15mins leisure walk but gets really quiet & dark by 6PM in March!

The room was great – clean, neat, and well-designed. There's a small hot spring that looks nice, though I didn't get a chance to use it. The biggest plus was the evening happy hour with free-flowing sake, beer, and other drinks. The lobby atmosphere was also good, making it a very chill spot in a town without much nightlife. All the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

This stay was in a room between two baths. The room came with two private pools, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor pool was too deep to get in and out of, rendering it unusable. The outdoor pool had great views and the hot spring water was excellent, though it was a bit small. The room itself was a bit cold. After contacting the hotel, they provided a space heater, but it had a gasoline smell.

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.

Sudden rain. I was told that I couldn't take it to my room because I only had one umbrella for rent. Can you borrow an umbrella because I want to get ready and go out in about 30 minutes? When I heard that, I couldn't bring an umbrella to the room anyway, and by the time the result came out, the umbrella was gone. I didn't steal an umbrella, but I just wanted to borrow it for a short time, but I felt very uncomfortable ... A good hotel without it. The person at the front desk other than that person was a good person. The hot water in the shower has no temperature adjustment function. The free morning was different from the photo, but it was good to have it. Green salad was a business potato salad, sorry (ω`)

This hotel is incredibly convenient if you're traveling with kids to Shin-Hotaka or heading to the ski resort. It's super close to both the JR station and the Nohi Bus Terminal. Staying here for multiple nights was hassle-free; you can store your luggage for free, and the hotel itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a place to stay. The only minor downside is that the breakfast is quite simple (a fixed set menu as pictured), and there aren't other options available if you're staying multiple nights with a group.

The hotel room was spacious and clean. They offered complimentary drinks upon arrival in the afternoon, including free beer! After a relaxing hot spring bath, there were free cold drinks available. The surrounding area is lovely, and it's just a short walk to the attractions. Getting to Takayama Station was also super convenient.

Great hospitality - Staff are friendly and helpful. Very warm experience Onsen & room - Clean and decent with Japanese design (Apply to the one inside the room & public onsen) Lobby - Filled with the western classic design For sure, we will return for 3rd times visit to Sasara.
