Ryokans in Gujo

We arrived late for check-in but the owner still checked us in and showed us our room and facilities. This was the first time experiencing a Japanese style room and baths and I absolutely loved it. We only planned for one night but we would absolutely stay there again and for longer if we can. The ryokan is in a central location of Gujo Hachiman and is a great starting point for visiting the town. The traditional Japanese breakfast was great and adds to the experience.

Ten minutes walk uphill to the castle along a beautiful winding road, and similar down to village. However taxis are cheap quick to arrive and easily booked by the hotel reception. The staff are incredible as is the chef, and restaurant staff- the kindest reception and most timely serving of delicious food. The hotel is surrounded by lovely Japanese gardens with an amazing view to the town and across the valley. A real escape into the Japanese countryside. We also loved our room - it was huge, remarkably clean with large comfortable beds, fabulous bath and we were provided with gorgeous toiletries and all the essentials. We wished we had booked for much longer, given the work the staff out in to prepare rooms.

Food, nice staff and complements.

The onsen is amazing! Room is huge :) very classic-japanese onsen hotel. Very quiet environment. Although staff dont speak fluent english, they try their best to communicate! Appreciate the effort!
