"This hotel is a top choice for Gero with very delicious and healthy buffet dinner and breakfast. Outdoor Onsen without of this world has breathtaking views!!! The staff was extremely helpful and spoke perfect English. The property is well located with easy parking. The Gero onsen is currently ranked number 2 best onsen in Japan and we can tell with the quality of water from this hotel. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Wifi is superfast. It checked all the boxes for a great stay. We had a wonderful time and would return. Excellent service all around from Front Desk to Restaurant. Thank You Very Much for the great stay!!!"
"Large outdoor area of onsen pools with 4 lie-flat onsen beds. This hotel is well located with large parking lot. The room is spacious with suite and view of river and Gero. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy. The hot spring is known for restorative and you can feel the difference why Gero is ranked number 2 of the 100 best hot springs in Japan. The hotel's location and quality of onsen is hard to beat. Thank You for the Great Service!!!!"
"Authentic Japanese style Hotel with Onsen. Staff was helpful and friendly. Rooms very roomy (compared to city hotels in Tokyo, Osaka etc). Hotel is definitely on the older side. The best part was the view over the River! Gorgeous!"
"Love these properties. They all are the same so you know what you get. The beds are soooo comfy! There is good coffee, tea, and miso soup packet 24 hours a day. It was extremely clean. My only thing I didnt like is they lock the AC at 23 and it was so warm i couldn’t sleep. The next day they unlocked it for me and i slept perfectly. Staff was very polite. Wifi worked well, shower pressure was great. They also have breakfast set deals at a nearby restaurant , but i saw it too late to use it. "
"The ryokan has excellent breakfast and dinner buffets, ping pong, billiards, karaoke, game room, manga library, massage chairs, and of course indoor and outdoor onsens. "
"We booked the triple bedroom and the room is huge. Beds were comfortable. There were 3 onsen in the hotel, pretty good but a little old. In fact this hotel feels a little old but overall it is still good, a traditional Japanese ryokan feel. The checking in was a little inefficient as we waited for a while until our turn to be brought to the room. Breakfast was a little chaotic, we were told that the breakfast buffet start at 650am-8am but at 7+am we were still queueing for table. Feel too early and being rushed to start the day. They have shuttle bus from the train station to the hotel, journey just 1-2 mins. Else it is also walkable like 5 mins. "
