Hotels near Ohira Observation Deck in Gero

I'm struggle to put my review in words cause I am amazed by the services offered by the hotel and the staffs. First of all, upon reaching Gero station from Nagoya station using Hida Line, we are thrilled by the surrounding atmosphere and we took our time snapping photos around not knowing that the hotel offers a free shuttle bus for all their customers. The driver waited patiently at the exit gate, holding the hotel sign board waiting for all customers to leave the Gero station. This is a real PLUS in our stays. After we checked in, the staff lead us to our rooms and explained to us on the facilities of the hotel and the staff helped to exchange the size of Yukata after studying our heights. Very observant and thoughtful. There are 3 different hot springs in the hotel and if you have time, you can visit all of them. You can always put on your Yukata and walk inside the hotel region, including the stunning Japanese garden. Just that, most of the services/shops in the hotel are closed on 9pm JST. Remember to plan properly. The room is very spacious with 2 comfortable beds, a small tatami region for you to enjoy your private Japanese tea time. We love the breakfast provided by the hotel as it offered variety of both Japanese and Western breakfast. There is a shuttle bus service (usually once per hour for instance 10am, 11am and 12 noon) to fetch the customers back to Gero station. The staff waved us good bye is another amazing experience provided by Japanese. It is just amazing feeling. Tips: 1. You can purchase the 5Days JR pass and enjoy unlimited ride on some JR trains if you plan to visit Nagoya region and a day trip to Tateyama Alpine Kurobe route. 2. There are not many tourists during our visiting time (24 April 2023) and we love the peaceful feeling of it. Just that, it also comes with not many restaurants are available during the day.

I stayed overnight for the first time with my cousin and wife. The best time to see it was over, but the autumn leaves on the road to the entrance were wonderful. The building retains the remnants of its founding. It was a historic appearance where successive emperors' families stayed. I stayed in a comfortable Japanese-style room with 10 and 5 tatami mats. The large communal bath is an alkaline simple hot spring. In particular, the open-air bath with natural rocks is the best. The skin became smooth and smooth, and it felt very good. It is better to change the men's and women's baths the next morning. Supper is in the room. There are many types of menu in kaiseki cuisine, and we enjoyed the seafood and mountain food luxuriously. Breakfast is a Japanese set menu in the hall. Breakfast with dinner was also satisfactory and very delicious. It was a memory of a pleasant trip.

Since my child was 1 years old, I decided to travel with 3 family members and stayed there. There was also a kids room for children, and the children were very excited. The room was large and I was able to spend it freely. I was just wondering if the air conditioner in the kids room and the electricity were not on. Also, in the women's bath, the temperature of the children's bath was quite lukewarm and cold, and the fence of the crib was low, so it was difficult because I couldn't put the child in. But I also took an open-air bath in the room and it was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you very much.

The location is convenient near the central town. There are Gero pudding, Kare Jinja shrine and foot bath nearby. The building is old anyway. If the entrance does not go up the stairs outside with luggage first, it will not arrive in the lobby. The building is also old and crowded, so you have to climb the stairs and transfer the elevator to wherever you go. It was a room in the same building as the lobby, but it was a cherry blossom that went to the public bath, went down the elevator to go to the meal, climbed the stairs, climbed the elevator, and climbed the stairs. The public bath is also built from the dressing room to the washing place and bathtub, so it is not recommended for older people or bad feet. The building is cold, and even if it is warm in the hot spring, it will be cold on the way back to the room. The room was made a twin bedroom, but it was old and dim like a rural business hotel in Showa. The chair is one of the desk chairs, one can only sit on the bed if one person sits. There is no place to put luggage, and you must put luggage on the floor of the soil. The closet is also old and narrow, and the safe is floored. I think the old inn and the business hotel are cleaner and the room is beautiful. I used Yukai Resort for the first time, but I was disappointed. There are karaoke, table tennis, game corners, and there are many kinds of meal Vikings, so it may be good for traveling with children or young people, but it is not suitable for adult travel. The bath was good only with hot springs, and the location is good for sightseeing, but I think there is a better inn if you stay.

The owners and staff were outstanding in providing service and making us feel welcomed. For example, because we had an early train and couldn't eat their breakfast, they made musubis for us to eat on the train. The location is ideal, being right next to the station. The room was typical for a ryokan and very neat and clean. The onsen was very good and accurately depictured in the photos. The water was silky smooth. We would stay there again if we return to Gero Onsen.

The room is not big, but it is enough. We stayed on a half-board basis and were overall satisfied. The food didn't look like much, but it was very filling. Overall, we were very satisfied. The scenery in Gero is so beautiful

Wanosato is located next to a picturesque rock strewn river surrounded by old pine trees. The setting is quiet and relaxing with just the sound of flowing water. If you’re planning to explore Takayama you will need transportation for the short drive there. The well established ryokan has several baths available and they are all enjoyable. Our room was spacious and clean with good AC and a small refrigerator. There is a charge for non alcoholic drinks from the refrigerator which is different from other ryokans on our trip. Meals were excellent without fail and the service level is very good. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Shuttle service to and from the train station. Very pleasant stay.

Use block discount on weekdays. Overnight with a plan with color 々 benefits. The staff will move the car. There is also a guide to the room. The color yukata of the benefits was not damaged and there were some types. The room is large and clean. Supper is satisfactory with room meals. Breakfast is disappointing. The public bath was comfortable without congestion. The staff feels good. Foreign nationals were also full of Japanese. It was a reasonable and satisfying stay. However, it may be severe when it is crowded, such as the day before the holiday.

A very homely feel, clean inn. Limited parking lots next to the inn. A bigger car park slightly away from the inn is available. Private onsen can be booked for ¥3,300 a couple, for 45 mins per session A 2-storey inn, no lift. If you have heavy luggage, they will help you carry to your room. Requested for extra pillow and the rattan bedroom was comfy. They have many yukata to choose from, paired with ko-ko shoes & matching rattan bag for your leisurely stroll. From autumn onwards, they have thicker over-coat as well. Staff are from PRC, Malaysia. Speaking Mandarin & English is a breeze.

This is a traditional ryokan. The reception was friendly and professional including tea served in your room upon arrival and an orientation as to the various utilities and yukatas. The room was similar to other ryokans we have visited: large with a low table and two chairs in the centre of the room which are replaced by two comfortable futons put into place while we were at dinner. The difference in this ryokan was a small dressing room with a vanity hidden by a natural beam in the corner of the room as well as four upright chairs in front of a long natural beam table in front of the large picture window. I can understand while some reviewers would see the room as being slightly dated with its dark trim but this is offset by bright halls with their floral carpeting and beautiful stained glass windows. As well, the traditional food was superb - artistically prepared and extremely tasty - with multiple dishes served by our gracious hostess. Given the recent investiture of the new Emperor we had a special menu prepared for Year #1 of Reiwa (the name of the Emperor's era). The onsen was equally excellent, with various pools. A great place to start and end the day. All in all an excellent experience.
