Nationwide × Accommodation With Private Hot Spring SourceHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan - 41Page Number

Easily accessible from Makinoto Pass, this is a great hotel with both meals and an onsen. Dinner offers a wide variety of dishes that will leave you full. Breakfast is also delicious. The onsen includes family baths with open-air options as well as indoor baths, providing a wonderful experience. While the building and rooms may show some age, it is still a highly recommended accommodation.

I stayed here as an overnight stop on a motorcycle tour to Ibusuki. As soon as I arrived, the proprietress guided me to a covered parking area, so I didn’t have to worry about wiping down my bike in the morning after it got wet with dew, which was a relief. The room was clean and had a calm atmosphere. The large public bath was excellent—an old hinoki cypress tub with plenty of hot water and just the right temperature. Even the changing area had cedar paneling on the lower walls (I think), and the pleasant scent of wood made it very relaxing. I should have checked in around 3 p.m. at least to fully enjoy the hot spring. This is an inn I’d love to stay at again.

Based on information from YouTube and other sources, the Onsen water quality was very good. There are two large public baths, and the difference in water quality was subtle. However, there were cups inside the large bath near the front desk, but there was no notice anywhere saying the Onsen water was safe to drink. When I asked a staff member, they said it was okay to drink, but since you share various information on the hallway walls and on Instagram, I wondered why you don’t clearly state that this is drinkable Onsen water. It felt strange. Since I don’t eat much, I only had breakfast, but it was very delicious and the dining staff were kind. The futon bedding was clean. Because the view was road-side rather than river-side, my satisfaction rating is 4. Next time I will request a twin room on the river side.

I was a bit worried the road to the Accommodation went so far back, but I arrived safely. It’s a quiet Accommodation on the edge of a rural area. They also offer day-use bathing, but the bath area is spacious so it never felt crowded. The Onsen water was soft and at just the right temperature, and I could relax and soak at ease. Dinner was delicious, and I even enjoyed the kamameshi to finish. At night, the open-air bath under a sky full of stars was outstanding. The rice at breakfast was excellent—no surprise for a region known for its rice. It’s not a flashy Facility, but it was a warm and pleasant Accommodation.

The meals were absolutely delicious! This is an accommodation I would love to visit again.

I had reserved the deluxe kaiseki dinner, and it truly was luxurious—so much that I couldn’t finish it. I declined the final rice and clear soup because I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat them. The Onsen water quality was excellent and left my skin feeling silky smooth. There were several baths, and I really enjoyed them. The Ryokan staff were also very courteous and attentive. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

It was quiet and very comfortable. Above all, the Onsen was excellent, and my body stayed warm for a while afterward. Since it is only available until 10:30 PM, I wish it had been open a little later.

Hirayu Onsen has milky-white, iron-rich waters. After a day of hiking, it warmed us up wonderfully. The open-air bath was especially nice. The meals focused on local specialties, and we were able to enjoy a full range of Gifu delicacies such as Hida beef shabu-shabu, hoba miso, and salmon sashimi. It was supposed to be the standard meal plan, but for us—a couple in our mid-50s—it was more than luxurious enough and very satisfying. As for hospitality, the woman at the front desk, the woman who served our meals, and the man were all friendly and warm. It’s also convenient—about a 5-minute walk to the Hirayu Bus Terminal for buses to Kamikochi. We had a wonderful trip.

The renovated room was very spacious and clean! The private open-air bath attached to the room was compact but had excellent water, making it very relaxing. It's amazing that wine and other alcoholic beverages are available for free at night. The meals were satisfying in both taste and quantity! I would love to stay in the same room again.

The twin room was spacious and comfortable, with an Onsen in the room's bathtub. Although I couldn't use the open-air bath due to light rain and chilly weather, the large public bath with natural hot spring water was excellent. The stay included breakfast, which was satisfying in both quality and quantity. However, the first-floor area felt dimly lit at night, creating a somewhat lonely atmosphere.

We stayed at Albas rather than the main building. Everything was spotless, and the sauna, jacuzzi, and loft were all wonderful! Sunrise may be hard to catch, but we could see the sunset and it was truly amazing.\nHowever, perhaps because the main building is a bit older, we noticed several spiders on the window during our meal, which bothered us a little. Other than that, the food was delicious and it’s a place we’d love to visit again. Thank you!

The Japanese-style room was relaxing and pleasant.

This is a Ryokan where you can fully enjoy a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere. Service was handled mainly by just two people: the proprietress and someone who seemed to be the manager. Aside from us as a couple, there was only one family of three, so we felt they probably accept only about four groups per day. The building is said to be nearly 100 years old, so some age is unavoidable, but the toilets had washlets and Wi‑Fi worked as well. We had no particular inconveniences. Both the kaiseki dinner and the Shokado bento breakfast were delicious, and since we had recently grown tired of large buffet halls, we were very satisfied. There are three Onsen baths including an open-air bath; we used two of them. At first the water was a bit too hot to get in right away, but we adjusted it by adding cold water. The water quality was good. It may not suit those who prioritize newness and convenience, but for those from the Showa generation it felt nostalgic and was more than satisfying as an Accommodation. We were a little worried because there are extremely few Reviews, but we’re glad we stayed here.

I stayed at the accommodation on the day of the fireworks festival. I watched from the rooftop balcony of the hotel on a hill, but unfortunately, the lower half was obscured by trees and plants. However, the meals were excellent. Dinner included a variety of delicious dishes that were almost too many to finish, and breakfast featured a large grilled golden-eye snapper. I would love to stay again to enjoy the meals.

The owner of the Accommodation seems deeply devoted to the Onsen and handed me an Onsen analysis sheet at the front desk—something I’d never experienced before. The main rock bath had a wonderful atmosphere and there were three tubs, but all of them were too hot for me to soak in. I barely managed to get into the deep bath at the front for about 10 seconds a few times. I understand the desire for guests to enjoy the free-flowing natural hot spring water, but it was a bit intense for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the smaller gourd-shaped bath and went in three times. The meals were modest but more than enough, and especially the soba was delicious. The toilet in my Room was modern and comfortable. The building is very spacious and must be difficult to maintain, but I hope they will continue doing well for many years to come.

I visited here as a child, and the exterior hasn’t changed. It’s an old building, but the inside is very well cleaned and everything was spotless—especially the wooden hallways, which were shiny everywhere. The Onsen baths—the semi-open-air cave-style bath and the family bath with plenty of yunohana—were very hot, and I personally couldn’t get in without adding cold water. The large public bath was just slightly on the hot side. The meals were reasonably tasty—a typical mountain Ryokan menu with a bit more wild vegetables than usual. The grilled fish with soba miso in the photo was especially delicious. Because of the antenna, TV reception wasn’t good, so I’d really like this to be fixed. I heard this Ryokan has been operating for over 400 years, and I hope it continues for many years to come.

The exterior looks old, but the inside has been renovated and is clean. Day-use bathing also seems popular, so it was crowded in the evening, but at night it became quiet with only overnight guests. The Room felt a bit dated, but it was well cleaned. There were dinosaur figures in the Room, which made our child happy. We were a little worried since no meals were included, but the restaurant was open, so we used it for dinner. It would have been even better if breakfast had been available. The toilets were shared, but they were never crowded and we could use them without worrying about others. The staff served us with warm smiles, and I think it’s a welcoming, homey Accommodation.

We were very satisfied with our stay, enjoying delicious local cuisine and locally brewed sake. The staff were all warm and welcoming, and their service was excellent.

A deer figurine welcomes you as you step into the entrance. Next to the noren curtain at the men’s bath is a nostalgic vending machine with small shampoo & conditioner bottles, razors, and more. The retro lighting above the sink in the Room adds to the charm. It was a clean, calming Accommodation that retains the atmosphere of a classic Showa-era Hotel in Hokkaido. This time, we stayed with our dog. At the dining area where you can spend time together with your dog, we enjoyed wild mountain vegetables and a rare simmered oshorokoma (white-spotted char). The fresh venison was also very delicious. A Hotel we’d love to visit again!
