Compare 5 airports near Gifu City
For most travelers heading to Gifu, Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) is the most practical gateway, serving as the primary international entry point for the region. While not in Gifu itself, it is situated in a neighboring city and offers highly efficient direct train services to the heart of Gifu. Nagoya Airport (NKM) is technically the closest airport, located in a nearby city, and primarily handles domestic routes; it is ideal if your flight itinerary aligns with its limited network. The airports of Osaka Itami Airport (ITM), Kobe Airport (UKB), and Kansai International Airport (KIX) are all located in neighboring cities. These airports are better suited for those visiting the broader Kansai region before reaching Gifu, as the journey to Gifu requires significant travel by Shinkansen or regional express trains. Always check local train timetables, as these significantly impact travel time and convenience when arriving from outside the immediate vicinity.

Everything was great, good location, excellent value for money. It's located across from the river where Ukai (cormorant fishing) takes place, about a 15-minute walk from the boarding point. The breakfast was delicious.FromUS$74

Such an excellent hotel in terms of location and even room layout and space. It fit 2 comfortably (but we’re asian so we can only speak for ourselves) and even gave us space to open our luggages and have an area to chill at. Super convenient and so close to the station, getting around was never an issue! My husband fell sick on Day 2 of us being in Gifu so that konbini attached to the hotel was a real lifesaver, as well as the Sugakiya next door! Hotel staff were excellent and super helpful as well. Lots of locals staying there and also lots of amazing food places and parks around the area. Our main objective was to go hiking and the buses made that incredibly convenient! It basically goes clockwise or counter-clockwise around Gifu so you dont really have to worry about getting lost at all. Fantastic trip! We love Gifu!FromUS$48

The location is good to reach easily the JR and Meitetsu station, also close to the main city and highway bus stops. Very close to Gifu City 43 (with observatory deck). It is just around what used to be the covered clothing shopping district, which is now mostly empty and run down. The district is seeing progressive renovations. There are plenty of restaurants around, but for more affordable places, might have to walk some distance.
Room are large enough, so you wont have trouble opening and arranging large luggage. The furniture is old and bathroom needs some maintenance (sink cracked on top and leaking under the drain). The ambient was quite dusty and the cleaning of the room is done only on the fourth day of stay (used towels, garbage and mugs/glasses must be put outside the room and will be replaced with a clean set at the door). There is a coin laundry with dryers, but it’s located at lobby level. The staff is polite and helpful, speaks English.FromUS$44

Wonderful, relaxing place with such nice staff and great breakfast! It was my first night in Japan and I couldn’t have chosen a better stay. Ideal to wind down after long travels or just anytime. My only regret is that I didn’t book two nights instead of one.FromUS$76

Lovely hotel, had old money vibes. Seems to be a popular hotel for weddings.
The breakfast and dinner were nice, but there is not much variety, seeing as the food served for breakfast was pretty much the same for the 2 mornings I was there.
The room was nice and spacious, was clean and bright too - always a plus for me.
My biggest downside is that for the room type I booked, the rooms were located along the same corridor as the back-of-house. So we could hear dishwashing and ventilation sounds.FromUS$78

Stayed in a double room for one night in April 2025
[Good points]
- Well-equipped bathing facilities
- Massage chairs available for free
[Points to note]
- The hotel is visible from JR Gifu Station, but it is a little far away
[Overall review]
Dormy Inn hotels have a wide range of bathing facilities, so you can use them with peace of mind. I was tired from traveling, so I was grateful to be able to use the massage chair for free for 15 minutes after bathing.FromUS$44

Location is very good for travellers using Gifu station, just across a street with rows of restaurants behind the hotel. Renovated and clean, we booked a smoking room by mistake, but there was no available non-smoking room to change. Able to open the window to clear some cigarette odour in the room.FromUS$29

Good variety at breakfast and the view at breakfast room was beautiful. Free parking facility is next to the hotel, no shelter walkway but able to accommodate many cars. Room was clean and big and had all essentials. Unfortunately did not get to try the onsen but i'm sure it would have been nice.FromUS$109

When I lived in Gifu more than 20 years ago, I often used it for dinner in various scenes and it is a nostalgic hotel. I thought it would be old, but it seems to have been renewed, and I feel a little old, such as the bath, but there was a feeling of cleanliness and I was able to spend a relaxing time.
Let's say breakfast is normal, or I feel that Corona Sorrow has the same service (such as the type of side dishes), so I look forward to it after Corona in the future.FromUS$40

The reception staff are very friendly and helpful, and it is very generous that the hotel opens the onsens for use at 1 pm which is 2 hours before check-in time. The room is nice and clean, and you can see the river on one side and the mountain with the Gifu Castle on the top on the other side, same with the outdoor onsen. The set dinner is very good value for money, and the Hida beef is really nice. The hotel is just next to the Gifu Park, inside it there are many other attraction spots and you can also take the cable car to reach the top of the mountain where the Gifu castle is located. The famous traditional fishing show with cormorant birds can be viewed at the river bank right outside the hotel.FromUS$60

A very satisfying accommodation experience. The staff are of high quality and the service is in place. Although the hotel has a certain history, it is well maintained in all aspects and the environment is clean and hygienic. The breakfast is rich in variety and delicious, and the room design is reasonable. I will recommend it to friends and stay here again next time.FromUS$40

The room was cool but rather met the ants that appeared for the first time during a trip to Japan
I don't know where it came from I opened the window and the employee said it came from outside and the employee's handling of it was to catch instead of changing rooms
The hotel is about 7 minutes walk from Gifu Station with family mart downstairsFromUS$42
