Mountain View Hotels in Gero

Onsen hotel offering excellent service, superb food and privacy. Service was next to nothing, staff offered Salmon sushi and malt tea at no extra cost as I choosed to skip breakfast to catch up with early bus schedule. The room was very clean and quite spacious. Dinner and breakfast was in Kaiseki style. The food was excellent, particularly the sashimi and the Hida beef (both grilled and sukiyaki).The use of local ingredients added to the uniqueness of the experience. The onsen was not big but cozy. Considering the hotel has about 20 rooms only, it offer very good privacy and I enjoyed the public bath twice alone in my 2 days stay. Rental private bath was a good surprise and worth to try if you are traveling in pair. Location is a bit far from train and bus station up on the top of the hill, but the the pickup service and a nice view of the mountain compensated for that.

This is the best onsen hotel we’ve stayed in, among those we’ve stayed in for the past 12 years! We stayed here for 2 nights. We’ve extremely grateful to the hosts for their outstanding service and hospitality from the heart. Loved the thoughtfully varied menu for each meal. The establishment is spotlessly clean and excellently maintained. Each morning, our towels and yukata (hotel gowns) were replaced. So were the amenities ( fragrant green tea packs, snacks). The housekeeping staff even offered to mop our rooms after only one night’s stay. The wifi was also fast and sustained well in the guest room and public lounge areas. There are facilities to cater to a wide range of age groups from seniors like us and children too. There were ample resting chairs in the lounge and on the way to the historian’s well as guest rooms. The best facility was the hot springs! They are exactly as depicted in the hotel website. Numerous indoor pools of various temperature all have the renowned ‘beautifying’ odorless alkaline water. My skin felt so smooth and moisturized after only one soak. What’s more the hot springs stay open for in-house guests from 10.30 am to 11 pm and day-trip visitors from 10.30 am to 8 pm. In-house guests can also use the hotsprings early from 6 to 9 am. There is a European dry sauna as well as wet steam rooms in both make and female hotspring areas. We would love to stay here again!

The nature of the hotel, there is a public hot spring foot bath opposite the entrance, and a small well that continuously sprays water throughout the year. The well is built of stone and cement. The sprayed water is very hot and very distinctive. There is a jelly shop next to the hotel, which tastes very good. The room facilities in the hotel are very old. There is only a bathroom but no shower in the room, which is a bit inconvenient. The TV is small and pitiful. The breakfast is very good, especially the Japanese set meal, which is very delicate. There are indoor hot springs and open-air hot springs in the hotel, both of which are separate for men and women. The indoor hot spring is a small pool with very clear water. There are also several flushing faucets. The equipment is a bit rusty and old. The open-air hot spring is also a small pool. There is a pipe to pour water into the pool from a high place. The water temperature is quite high, so it should be hot spring water.

This place is huge, I've never seen a bigger room around here! It's awesome. The only thing is, it's a bit of a trek from the station, but whatever. I did have a small problem with reception in the morning; I needed a taxi and they said they'd book one, but it never showed up! So I had to sort it out myself. Still, it's a great place, but hopefully, they'll improve their service a bit.

The room is great! Quite spacious, but most importantly, good insulation! The shower and toilet are separate, which is good and the whole place is spacious. Towels provided, microwave in the corridor Also, the hotel is close to the train station and convenience store
