The location is 2 minutes from the station and a few minutes from the historical houses. The room was big and with a pleasant view over the station and the mountains. There was a sliding wall between one bed and the other two, which was really good to read before going to sleep without bothering others.There were a lot of free drinks in the in the fridge. Washing/dryer worked really well. Also a lot of products available in the bathrooms.

It’s a small hotel - only two rooms on our floor which helps with noise and lift being available quickly. Location is great - very close to the station and walking distance to the old town. We enjoyed the complimentary welcome drink at Hid’s Cafe which also does an excellent battered fish and chips. The room was the most spacious we had in Japan with a luggage rack and plenty floor space to leave a second bag open on the carpet. As well as space to hang up clothes if needed. There was also an ironing board and iron which was unexpected. We could charge both our devices using the USB ports next to each bed. The bed was very comfy and noise insulation excellent. There is free water dispenser on the 3rd floor and washing machine and dryer.

Such a novelty having a sauna in our room and being able to go from bath tub to sauna freely. The room was really modern with a good sized fridge and freezer. Plenty of towels were provided and they were soft and fluffy. A bonus was the 5pm happy (read free) hour drinks in the little bar area. There was also a roof top with olive trees and lounges that allowed us to see both the sunset and the moonrise over Mt Kinka. The location was excellent. Just a short walk from the entrance to Yana Gasse and across the road from Kashimori park and the entrance to Mt Kinka Observation deck. You could also hire bikes from there. We loved it all.

This was a nice ryokan in the mountains with several baths. The scenery was amazing. Obviously, it can be a bit challenging to get to without a car, though it's possible. If you drive, they will valet park you for free. My Japanese is limited but as far as I could tell this is mandatory. Speaking of limited Japanese, the hotel was easy to get around in because they had quite a few English speakers. It's in the mountains so there will be fewer than in the cities though. The resort is dated but clean. It's actually nice if you're looking for a bit of a classic vibe. The mixed outdoor baths were nice for my partner and I. It's hard to find that in Japan. You have to wear these shorts and dress-like garment, not your own swimsuit. There are a few private baths that cost 1000 yen for 30 minutes. Very much worth it! But be aware, you need to pick up the key from the front desk first before going to the bath for your reserved timeslot. The mixed baths and private baths are across the street and down some stairs in the forest. It's worth it because the view from the onsen outside is magical. But at night it's a bit creepy, though still safe. You can also take this tiny on demand funicular down and up. Very useful! Checkout is at 10 am and they mean it. They temporarily close the baths and start cleaning the rooms very promptly at 10 am so don't assume you can take your time and leave around 10 or a bit later. You're pretty encouraged to leave right at 10. The Shinhotaka Ropeway is very close by which was very nice as well! Just an 8 min drive or so.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The highlight was the two beautiful onsens within the same building, offering a serene and relaxing experience. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring a perfect stay. My room was spacious, clean, and new! Despite the fact it's 50 years old, you can only tell from their experienced staff. There is a big shop next to the lobby where you can shop for some local souvenir too.

The 8km trail from Magome was great and there were buses going from the station to take you to the start of that short trail. On the return you could either walk to the train station a short walk from Tsumago or catch a bus back to Magome then another back to Nakatsugawa station. Lots of options and times. A beautiful and picturesque walk.

RELAXING QUIET GIFU!

RELAXING QUIET GIFU! We just wanted to visit other places in Japan. We have been to Japan a few times already. We like going to these kind of relaxing places. We went hiking, we walked everywhere since everything was walkable. We had so much local food and sake of course! ONSEN! Nature everywhere! We also met some of my aunt's family and friends. It felt like a home. We love everything in here. We could have stayed longer but will be back and will see the other sights. Thank you GIFU! :)

Gero has so much to share, with food, including Hida beef, yes get familiar with it. It's top level Wagyu beef and is from Hida the region that Gero is situated. The city is easy to get around in the snow (in Winter) and in the rain (in Spring), with places that are easy to walk or ride share to. Gero to most is a journey to get to with taking the trains, but it's well worth the journey, having seen cherry blossoms in the ever greens AND the snow falling like in a "snow globe", encrusting the tress, during the train ride. We are fortunate to have experienced Gero twice and now looking for a third stay, in Autumn for the changing of the leaves!

The historic Main Street in the Iwamura Castle Town is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings of the country. It is a charming town where I could have spent the day in order to both hike to the castle ruins and take a leisurely stroll through the town. There were many artisans, restored homes and gardens, and cafés to enjoy. I had plenty of time to hike to the ruins since I started at 5:30AM. But I only had 90 minutes in town and that was just not enough. I would have loved to have stayed overnight one more night but I was at the end of my 11 day travels and had the 6 hours travel day to the airport awaiting me. Most vendors only take cash (unless you have the PayPay app on your phone) so be prepared.

We walked two legs of the Nakasendo Way using Nakatsugawa as our base: one leg walking from Nakatsugawa to Magome and the other bussing to Magome and walking to Tsumago from there and then returning to Nakatsugawa to our delightful guest house.
