Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant overnight stay at this large hotel located along the Nagaragawa River. The room was average but offered beautiful views, especially during summer. While the dining experience wasn't remarkable, the staff was eager to assist with ukai reservations, despite a slight premium when booking through the hotel. The location provided a unique experience for seeing cormorant fishing but was a bit far from the main train station, which made transportation a little inconvenient.
This hotel is perfectly situated along the Nagara River, making it a prime spot for viewing the traditional cormorant fishing in the summer. The rooms provide a comfortable stay with good amenities, while the hot spring bath is a lovely bonus. However, the decor feels a bit outdated, and the location requires a bit of travel to the city center. Overall, it's great value for a restful getaway.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, situated right alongside the river where the ukai cormorant fishing happens. The views from the room were breathtaking, overlooking the river, forest, and Gifu Castle. The public baths were a highlight for me, providing a relaxing escape after a long day of exploring. While the pricing was a bit on the higher side, the unique experience and beautiful surroundings made it memorable. Just know that the size of the hotel can make it feel a bit impersonal at times.
The hotel offers a unique experience right on the riverbank, providing stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Gifu Castle. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished, making for a comfortable stay, although the dining experience could use some improvement. While the location is somewhat distant from the city center, it enhances the tranquility of the stay. Overall, it's a memorable choice, but be prepared for its higher price point and some logistical challenges.
I had an enjoyable stay at this large hotel, complete with some unique features like hot spring baths and a traditional Japanese dining experience. The rooms were cozy, but could feel a bit older compared to others I've stayed in. While dining had its highs and lows, the relaxation offered by the onsen was fantastic. Overall, it's a charming place with a great atmosphere, though the dining could use improvement.
This hotel boasts an incredible location right on the riverbank, which offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Gifu Castle. The rooms are spacious, providing a unique experience for a Japanese hotel, though some decor elements feel a bit dated. While the dining options were quite good, the pricing felt a tad on the high side, yet the experience overall was memorable and unique.
I had a memorable stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated along the scenic Nagara river, offering stunning views of Gifu Castle. My room was surprisingly spacious and comfortable, definitely a treat for a Japanese hotel. However, the dining experience fell short, especially for dinner, and it's a bit of a trek from the train station. Despite these couple of drawbacks, I would recommend it for the unique experiences like ukai fishing right out front.
My stay at this hotel was a delightful experience, starting with a warm welcome that included a unique Cretan specialty. The breakfast buffet was impressive, especially with gluten-free options available. The room, a luxurious Maisonette, was beautifully designed and very comfortable. The pools were lovely, though small, but the attentive staff truly made our visit memorable. The only downside was that the price reflected the luxurious experience, but it was definitely worth it for a special getaway.
I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is situated along the picturesque Nagara River, perfect for viewing the traditional cormorant fishing in the evenings. While the rooms are decent and provide a great view, the location is a bit far from the train station, making transportation slightly inconvenient. The breakfast buffet exceeded my expectations, and the onsen was a nice touch, though the overall decor felt a bit outdated.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, especially enjoying the public baths which provided a unique and relaxing atmosphere. The changing rooms were well-equipped with everything I needed. The staff was attentive, ensuring my gluten-free needs were met during breakfast. However, the room decor showed its age and could use an update, and the noise from traffic outside was a bit intrusive at times.
