Hot Springs Hotels in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Six months later, I returned to Takayama and stayed at this hotel for the second time. The service quality felt just as excellent as it did during my visit in February. Every staff member was incredibly friendly. The breakfast included a chocolate croissant that was absolutely delicious – I highly recommend trying it. Takayama in summer is so different from winter, but the warm feeling this small town gives me hasn't changed. I'm still touched. See you next time.

This hotel is super convenient for solo travelers, being close to both the train and bus stations. The room was incredibly clean and surprisingly spacious for a standard room in Japan – we could easily fit two large suitcases! The hotel's location is also great, close to popular attractions and restaurants.

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.

Lovely Ryokan, close to the busy stop. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Spacious room and comfortable futon. The onsen baths are lovely, on the riverside for a great view of the valley, you can ”reserve” four of them for private use for a bit of time, just locking the door. Dinner was superb

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 room is quite spacious and comes with a washer-dryer, so you don't have to wait around in a laundry room – that alone makes it worth a perfect score. It's right by the station, making travel very convenient. There's also a self-service coffee during afternoon tea time.

Magnificent stay at a natural onsen village. The most brilliant Ryokan you can imagine. Built at the beginning of the 20th century and renovated, all locations inside are beautiful and Instagrammable. Spent an anniversary here with my wife and had the best impressions of the whole trip. The Kaiseki dinner was above our expectations. The waitress explained everything, and we got a true cultural experience.

The hotel views were great, but the outdoor mixed-gender onsen wasn't as good without snow in winter. The food was average, not as amazing as I'd hoped. The outdoor hot spring was a bit small; it would be hard to enjoy if there were many people. We ran into a ********* tour group, but thankfully we managed to go at different times. However, it was very thoughtful of them to call our room at 9 AM to save us breakfast, as we missed it going to the outdoor hot springs early. I'm very grateful for that.

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.
