Reviews and Ratings
My stay was truly unforgettable, with exceptional service and stunning views that made my experience all the more special. The rooms were clean and beautifully traditional, offering a very comfortable stay. I loved the outdoor onsen, but I wish the dining options could have been a bit more diverse. Overall, I found great value for my money, especially with the quality of meals provided.
I had a relaxing experience at this hotel in Gero, where the service was top-notch and the spa provided amazing views. The traditional tatami rooms were clean and comfortable, but I felt a bit exposed using the outdoor onsen as it is quite public. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for relaxation and sightseeing, but the outdoor onsen may not be everyone's cup of tea.
I had a lovely experience at this hotel, which offered a beautiful and vintage setting right by a river with amazing views. The onsen added to the relaxation and overall charm, making it a great spot for couples. While the service was outstanding and the meals were exquisite, the outdoor onsen's nudity could be a bit uncomfortable for some. The cleanliness of the facilities was a major plus, though it's worth noting that the location might be a bit tricky to navigate for first-timers.
This hotel in Gero is a great spot for relaxation, with clean accommodations and a stunning view of the river. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making my stay memorable. I loved the outdoor onsen, but be prepared for a bit of nudity if you're using the outdoor facilities. Overall, a perfect getaway for any traveler looking for a unique experience in a charming village.
I had a wonderful time at the onsen hotel in Gero! The area is stunning with a vintage village vibe, perfect for relaxation. I loved the clean rooms and the spectacular views, especially from the outdoor spa. The service was outstanding, making the stay even more enjoyable. However, the outdoor onsen being naked might not be for everyone, and the pricing was decent but not a steal.
