Hida Miyata Station × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

If you’re staying in Gero for the architecture, Yunoshimakan is the place; if you’re staying for great food, I’d say this is it—Suimeien. Every dish was delicious, and the ayu sweetfish in particular was outstanding. The annex where we stayed was an adults-only area, which may be why it was so quiet at night. I was able to truly relax for the first time in a while. It also felt special to have access to a private Onsen reserved exclusively for annex guests—it was a fun and memorable experience. Both large public baths had towels available at the entrance, so there was no need to go back to the Room to get one. I could enjoy the Onsen anytime on a whim without bringing anything with me. (I especially liked the large bath on the first floor.) There is also a spot inside where you can enjoy coffee while looking outside; after breakfast, I spent a relaxing time reading there. I was amazed at how spotless everything was throughout the property—surely thanks to the excellent work of your housekeeping staff. It truly became a wonderful trip. Thank you very much. I will definitely stay again.

The atmosphere of the main building was wonderful. Maintaining such a historic building must take a lot of effort, so I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well kept it was. This time we chose the newer wing where we could enjoy the Onsen in our Room, but next time I would love to stay in one of the lovely Rooms in the main building, such as Sanraku or Kumoi. Dinner and drinks were delicious, and being able to enjoy them in our Room made it feel truly luxurious. All of the staff were genuinely kind and welcoming, and we made great summer memories. We will definitely come again.

A truly exceptional Hotel, offering simple elegance and abundant free-flowing Onsen water sourced from Gero’s natural spring. Attentive staff and housekeeping, along with a well-organized Room. A warm and welcoming second home you’ll want to return to again and again.

This was my first stay here. We stayed in a Japanese-Western style Room in the Sasara building, which had been renovated and was very clean. The staff member assisting us was a foreigner, so some explanations of the meals were a little hard to understand, but it was clear they had studied well. Every dish was delicious. By chance, it was the first day of the Gero Onsen Festival, and I was moved to be able to watch the fireworks while soaking in the open-air bath at night. We were able to relax and enjoy our time.

This Accommodation has a charming, hidden-retreat feel, and the staff’s hospitality is outstanding. I was told that many of the team are younger and that there is no proprietress, so everyone takes full responsibility for providing attentive service—and it truly showed in their thoughtful care. The day before our stay, I asked whether we could park our car at the property to explore the Onsen town before check-in and after check-out, and they kindly replied, “Of course,” which left a great impression even before we arrived. The meals were generous in portion size, gently seasoned with local ingredients, and perfectly explained—nothing to fault. We also enjoyed pleasant conversation with the dining staff during our meal. We enjoyed the complimentary drinks in the lounge after check-in, again after soaking in the Onsen several times, and even in the courtyard at night—fully savoring an extraordinary escape while enjoying this Ryokan to the fullest. There were also services that women will appreciate, which made my wife very happy. We were able to spend truly irreplaceable time together as a couple and make wonderful memories of our trip to Gero Onsen. This is definitely an Accommodation we want to return to—we will be back for sure.

My daughter and I stayed here together. When we arrived, I dropped my daughter off at the entrance and was about to head to the parking area as instructed, but a staff member at the entrance noticed the maternity badge on her bag and immediately guided us to a nearby parking space. I was truly impressed by such thoughtful attention. We had many chances to speak with the front desk staff, housekeeping staff, and dining staff, and everyone was courteous and pleasant, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time. Thank you very much. We would love to stay again.

We stayed here for the first time on our wedding anniversary last year and loved it so much that we visited again for this year’s anniversary. The view from the Room was truly amazing. The food felt very summery, looked beautiful, and was absolutely delicious. It was very quiet, and we were able to relax and take our time. Thank you very much. The only thing that concerned me this time—though it may just be a matter of personal preference—was the smell as soon as we entered the Room. I thought it might have been potpourri placed in the hallway, but each time we walked through the hallway it smelled strange. We would like to visit again in autumn with my mother, and we are looking forward to it.

This time, due to the circumstances of the original accommodation (Bokakakan), we stayed at Ryokan Gero Onsen Sasara. Initially, we were a bit anxious, but we were completely satisfied with the meals, room, onsen, and staff. This accommodation is one we would like to use again when visiting Gero Onsen.

The baths left our skin smooth just as the Reviews said. Dinner was a kaiseki meal, so we were able to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. Everything was delicious and had a rustic, home-style feel, which we really liked for its simplicity. Our child was thrilled and said the Hida beef sukiyaki was especially delicious. Some areas (the medium-sized bath) were only accessible by stairs, but it was less crowded and we could unwind peacefully. At check-in, we received a 10% off ticket for the shop and made good use of it when buying souvenirs. All of the staff were very kind, and we were happy that they handled our requests in advance properly. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I stayed at Ogawaya for two nights, and dinner was excellent on both days. The second night in particular made me very happy with its full Hida beef course. Breakfast also offers a wide variety of dishes and is delicious. There are many staff members from Southeast Asia, and most of them provide warm hospitality with sincere effort and a smile. The Room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The welcome sweet, blueberry daifuku, was also delicious! It would be even better if the skincare amenities were a bit higher quality. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. The property was thoroughly cleaned down to the smallest details, and I was able to relax. Fresh flowers were displayed in the Room, and although it faced the mountain side, we could still see the fireworks. It had a lovely atmosphere. The sauna temperature was not too high and felt just right. The cold water was also not too cold, which was great. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

More than 40 years ago, when I was a child, I stayed here with my mother, my older brother, and a family who were acquaintances of my mother. I could barely remember anything other than the name, but after all these years, I’m glad I was able to stay again—this time with my own family. The portions at both dinner and breakfast were very satisfying, and I was happy to have my favorite hoba miso. I love Gero, so if I have the chance, I’d like to stay again.

Since the Room we selected was on the 4th floor, we got quite tired going back and forth three round trips down to the 1st floor (for walking our dog, etc.), plus meals and the bath (four round trips up to the 2nd floor) (lol). Next time, we’ll choose a Room on the 1st or 2nd floor (lol). Other than that, there were no problems. Our dog was happy, and the food was delicious too. (We are an elderly couple, aged 75 and 70.)

I traveled solo for one night and two days from 9/6 to 9/7, and soaking in the water truly lived up to what you’d expect from Gero Onsen—I felt refreshed both physically and mentally. The meals were just the right amount, not too much or too little, and everything was delicious. Unfortunately, it rained so I couldn’t do much sightseeing, which was a bit disappointing, but I did make it to the morning market. I’d like to visit Gero Onsen again someday.

I booked a 3-night stay for the ayu fishing tournament with No Meals Included, but thank you for accommodating my request to add meals for two days. The variety of baths helped me relax and recover from fatigue. Personally, I would be happy if there were a coin laundry available. I’ll do my best so I can come again next year. I’m very satisfied.

The bath was, of course, outstanding, and since the Hotel is on a hill, the view was great and I could truly relax. The all-inclusive plan was also nice because it felt relatively unhurried (at another Hotel, I once saw people rushing to grab seats the moment it started, which put me off). The food went beyond the ordinary with thoughtful touches, so I enjoyed it with excitement. Most of the staff were friendly and welcoming, which was very soothing. I’d love to stay again.

This riverside Accommodation was truly wonderful. Meals weren’t the typical one-set Ryokan style; there were several choices available. The portions were just right—not too much—so I could sleep well at night, and I also felt thoughtful attention to detail throughout. I was especially grateful that, unlike many places, there was no noise from children during meals, so I could enjoy everything quietly and at a relaxed pace. Dining while enjoying the cool breeze and scenery through the riverside windows became an unforgettable time. For bathing, I used a private bath. Because I have surgical scars, I was most grateful that they prepared a private bath where I could bathe with peace of mind. The free-flowing natural spring water was beautifully pure and felt cleansing even to the soul. The Room had double-pane windows for soundproofing and insulation, showing how carefully it had been renovated. Since I’m not used to sitting on tatami floors in daily life, having a bed and table made the Room very comfortable, and I appreciated that consideration. Also, as someone with strong cleanliness preferences, I really appreciated the small but thoughtful touch of providing unopened individually wrapped pocket tissues instead of a partly used box of tissues often found in Ryokan. The meals were also pleasing for someone like me who pays attention to additives; in particular, they had a nostalgic flavor that reminded me of my grandmother’s cooking—she was especially good at German cuisine. The juice served was freshly squeezed as well, and it was clear that each dish had been prepared with great care. I was genuinely happy to find an Accommodation like this in Japan. Both the proprietress and her husband were very friendly and interacted with me at just the right distance—even though I’m shy—so my stay felt truly comfortable. If I have another chance to visit Gero Onsen, I would love to book a Multiple Night Stay—starting the morning with German beer and then enjoying lunch as well. Thank you very much for such a pleasant stay.

It was a truly relaxing stay from the bottom of my heart. I stayed here to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The attentive care and calm atmosphere that only a small-scale Accommodation can offer were incredibly comforting. Located along the river, time flowed quietly and gracefully, and I was able to soak in the Onsen at a leisurely pace. The Hida beef course dinner was carefully prepared dish by dish, allowing me to fully savor the deliciousness of Hida beef. It was a highly satisfying dinner that left both my stomach and heart full. To all the staff who took care of me, thank you for your warm hospitality. This is a hideaway-like Accommodation perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a high-quality Onsen and meals in a शांत setting.

We stayed just after the Golden Week holidays. The front desk staff, restaurant team, and housekeeping staff we passed on our way out were all pleasant and handled everything smoothly. Our Room had an open-air bath; although it was listed as having no view at the time of Reservation, we were able to enjoy the mountains across the river, the lights of nearby Onsen Accommodations, and a sky full of stars. We had recently stayed at a related property in Yamashiro Onsen and expected similar meals, but the buffet selection was different here, and in particular the local Gero specialty “Kei-chan” chicken was delicious. The baths were used by quite a few guests, but they never felt crowded, and everything was well cleaned and easy to use. We were able to relax and enjoy a wonderful, unhurried stay. We would love to stay again.

I stayed solo, and for a Ryokan with Onsen, it felt like there were quite a few solo guests. There are two large public baths, including a rooftop open-air bath, and they were spacious and comfortable. The buffet-style meals offered a wide variety of dishes, with frequent refills, so I was very satisfied. Overall satisfaction was high, but the building layout is complex with many stairs due to changes in elevation, which may not suit elderly guests.
