I considered an Accommodation on the Nagara River because I wanted to show my daughter cormorant fishing.
An Onsen Accommodation would have been nice, but we wanted a buffet-style meal, so we chose this Hotel.
It was an extremely hot day, and the moment we stepped into the Hotel,
the cool air revived us.
As a Diamond member benefit, I was happy to receive a one-drink service in the first-floor lounge.
The Room we were assigned was on a high floor with a great view, and it was spotless—truly impressive.
The dinner buffet isn’t in a huge restaurant, but the quality of the dishes served was excellent, and we enjoyed everything.
Drink prices were reasonable for a Hotel,
and since it was before cormorant fishing, my daughter and I each enjoyed one drink.
We used taxis for round-trip transportation to the cormorant fishing site, which made it very comfortable.
Even though it was hot that day, there was a pleasant river breeze,
and it helped us forget the daytime heat for a while.
Because the river level was low, it seems they didn’t actually catch many ayu,
but being able to see energetic cormorants up close made it a great experience.
At breakfast, there were many inbound guests early on,
but they cleared out quickly, so we were able to eat in peace.
The well-known ayu rice porridge was delicious—I went back for seconds several times.
The selection of dishes also reflected local flavors well, with various Gifu specialties, which I appreciated.
For morning fruit there were oranges, pineapple, and lychees; I’d be happier if there were a few more options.
I liked the selection at the shop as well.
If I had one request, I would truly appreciate Shuttle Service from the station to the Hotel.
As expected of an established Hotel with history behind it, my daughter and I enjoyed an elegant stay.
Thank you very much.
