Kaiseki Inn Suihuen

I was able to relax and enjoy both the open-air bath and the large public bath.The Room was clean and spacious, and the bath in the Room was very pleasant as well.The food was truly delicious—I was impressed.The staff were very courteous, and I wished I could have stayed one more night.I’ve stayed at many Accommodations, but my friend and I agreed this Accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way.I’d love to stay again.Thank you!

This was my fifth stay in Gero Onsen, and personally, this Accommodation ranks among the top one or two in terms of overall satisfaction. I can confidently recommend it to anyone unsure about where to stay in Gero Onsen.All staff were consistently courteous and pleasant—from the welcome, to the meals, to the send-off.The Onsen was outstanding both in the open-air bath in the Room and in the large public bath. The water had a silky, slightly thick feel—like soaking in a high-quality lotion—and left my skin smooth after bathing. It was a spring quality that made me want to soak again and again. In particular, I recommend the 5th-floor open-air bath over the 1st floor; you can relax while enjoying views of nature.The Room was very clean and well maintained, and having both an indoor bath and an open-air bath meant we could be fully satisfied even without leaving the Room. Having two toilets was also very convenient.Dinner was an Italian-style kaiseki course—both beautiful and delicious. The Hida beef filet steak was excellent, of course, but I especially recommend ordering the garlic rice as an add-on; it’s a must-try. That said, portions were a little modest, so I would have been even happier if there were services like onigiri for a late-night snack. A bit more presentation or table-side flair would also make it even more memorable.The garden was beautifully maintained and very soothing.A couple of minor points: there wasn’t any cleansing oil provided at the 5th-floor open-air bath, and breakfast was served only as in-room dining. Personally I’d have liked an option to eat at a dining area as well, but for those who prefer meals in their Room, this is great.Overall, this was truly a highly satisfying Accommodation. When I visit Gero Onsen again, I would definitely like to return.
