Hoteles de 4 estrellas en Gero

Onsen hotel offering excellent service, superb food and privacy. Service was next to nothing, staff offered Salmon sushi and malt tea at no extra cost as I choosed to skip breakfast to catch up with early bus schedule. The room was very clean and quite spacious. Dinner and breakfast was in Kaiseki style. The food was excellent, particularly the sashimi and the Hida beef (both grilled and sukiyaki).The use of local ingredients added to the uniqueness of the experience. The onsen was not big but cozy. Considering the hotel has about 20 rooms only, it offer very good privacy and I enjoyed the public bath twice alone in my 2 days stay. Rental private bath was a good surprise and worth to try if you are traveling in pair. Location is a bit far from train and bus station up on the top of the hill, but the the pickup service and a nice view of the mountain compensated for that.

Lovely onsen ryokan. Staff don’t really speak English so there’s a bit of trying to figure things out for yourself.  Nevertheless, service was friendly and helpful as best they could.  The outdoor onsen is really relaxing and because it’s not a crowded hotel, both times I went I had it to myself as did my wife and kids in the ladies area.  We picked the room with its own outdoor onsen tub which is a great option if you don’t want to use the non-private ones.  You can apparently book private onsens but they did not have any available for us (possibly because we arrived slightly late in the day).  Food was excellent for both dinner and breakfast.  Kids couldn’t;’quite enjoy the onsens cause they found the water too hot so you may want to make sure your kids can before you decided to splurge.  One final point, the ryokan is located down a tiny road on the right just before Google Maps tells you that you have reached.

Para una noche con dos comidas incluidas en un hotel con aguas termales, Ogawa-ya es una opción muy económica. Las habitaciones son amplias y limpias, ¡con vistas panorámicas al río Gero! El baño público también es limpio y cómodo. La ubicación del hotel es ideal, cerca de la estación de Gero, y ofrece un servicio de transporte muy práctico. Está a la vuelta de la esquina del pueblo de aguas termales. El restaurante es espacioso, con mesas bien separadas, y el personal es muy amable. La calidad de la comida también es buena. Me alojé dos noches y las cenas fueron diferentes cada noche. El desayuno es tipo bufé con mucha variedad. Estaba un poco concurrido a la hora del desayuno porque eran vacaciones escolares y muchos huéspedes estaban desayunando al mismo tiempo. En resumen, es sin duda un hotel con aguas termales con una excelente relación calidad-precio y muy recomendable.
