Hidatei Hanaougi

=Glamorous Japanese style accommodation at ancient Hida-Takayama Japan= * The hot spring from Jindai spring gushes from 1200m underground. It is one of the few hot springs among the local accommodations. Its attractive spring quality feels like a rich beauty serum. If you touch your skin in the spring, you will feel the smooth silky texture. This particularly appeals to guests who love moist smooth skin and makes them visit again and again. * We serve you the very best out of the great variety of local fresh foods with Hida local sake according to the seasons. Wagyu Hida Beef Steak is the most popular main dish. Our selected beef supplier brings the finest quality Hida beef to us. The local Hida beef is famous for its marbling pattern but has no extra fat, and its texture is so soft it almost melts in the mouth. The cooking method for Hida beef varies including steak, shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. Dinner is the KAISEKI(Japanese traditional course meal).

Stayed 2 nites at this ryokan. Staff was friendly and efficient from Day 1, especially Atsushi. Most staff speak English. A nice property with both indoor and outdoor onsen. There’s a shuttle bus that runs between the train station and the ryokan which makes it very convenient for all guests. Food was good too.

We had a great stay at this hotel. I would highly recommend the Traditional Japanese room especially to tourists like myself. The view from the window is amazing as well. As for the onsen, I especially loved open air hot spring.

Suimeikan was a really good hotel. We decided to stop in Gero which turned out to be a very nice traditional onsen town. Beautiful place. The hotel is just across the bridge from the main town. The hotel is big, beautiful and welcoming. It is a traditional Japanese onsen hotel and feels wonderful to the small details. The have a indoor and outdoor pool, game room, 3 different onsens, many different restaurants and a lobby lounge with a beautiful Japanese garden. Lots of parking space. There are three main buildings. We stayed in Sansui and had the new Japanese Western room. We had a corner room with a beautiful view of both the bridge and the garden. The room was cozy and comfortable. Because it was newly renovated it didn't smell like old smoke as I read in other reviews. The room was great for us. Dinner at the Japanese restaurant was super. Breakfast buffet was not very good, food just wasn't very good. We visited during Golden Week and the hotel was booked solid, however we never felt that the place was crowded. The hotel absorbs guests very well. Service is excellent, very friendly. Hotel was easy to use and enjoy. Hours for use were all really flexible. Some hotels are just too restrictive. Of the three onsens my favorite was the Big Cedar bath and it had a sauna, second was the Outdoor bath. The Panaroma bath seemed old. Definitely worth a visit to Gero and Suimeikan if you are in the area.

Great Mix of Traditional & Western Convenience

Reviewed By Getaway737516

We stayed in the Japanese style room with low beds with a half board. The room was spacious and clean. They have a bunch of travel sized toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush & paste, face wash, body wash & cloth, makeup remover, hair brush) available for free as well as Yukata. The Onsen was nice and big. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious too. Lots of local ingredients. Reasonably priced for the traditional Ryokan-style meals (meals are not served in the room). Very convenient to Magome. 5 mins walk to the bus station (Nakagiri), and from there it’s only 10 mins bus ride to Magome. Also very close to the highway bus station at Kamisaka PA. There’s no convenient store in the walkable distance, so you may feel a little isolated if you don’t have a car, but just enjoy the Onsen and the sound of the river. The hotel offers free shuttle to/from Nakatsugawa, and there’s a bunch of shops, restaurants and supermarkets there. Just remember that businesses close rather early in the country side. There are enough signs and translation in English, but the staff didn’t seem to speak English much.

Emphasis on the “experience“. We’ve been traveling around Japan for a week staying in western style hotels going from sight to sight. We spent two nights here and loved every minute. The staff could not possibly do more for you. Even down to drying your shoes when you come in from the rain. We had a lovely huge suite with a western bed in one room and futons if we wanted them in the other room. They have a lovely onsen on site and more in two properties across the street. They were happy to drop us off wherever we needed to in their limousine. We were expertly introduced to many Japanese customs and enjoyed walking the streets in our yukatas. Our room rate included breakfast and dinner and the food was fantastic. The first night we had courses including grilled yellowtail, sashimi and hida beef. The second night we were taken out to a restaurant serving hida and tuna. We did go out to stroll the streets, have lunch in a sake brewery and take a bus to Shirakawa-go and back. But we had a lot of rain and we truly enjoyed this Ryokan. Do it!

Booked a room and once we got there the hotel was shut down.

Reviewed By aimeekristen2017

We booked a stay for our 1 year anniversary back in April. After a 4 hour bus ride we finally arrived to find out that the place was shut down. After another couple hours in the rain/snow and being pushed from hotel to hotel by the management staff for Hirayukan we ended up at a place that could not accommodate us. At about 6 pm we finally had a place to stay that was very old and not what we paid for. There was no dinner as everything was booked so we ate at the only place we could find that made me sick after and there was no private onsen which is the main reason we booked this place. The worst experience I have ever had.

Big Old Onsen Hotel

Reviewed By Pirasri P

Located at the heart of Gero, the hotel is a complex of buildings with complicated circulation system due to building extensions. Everything looked aged, but it still offered a very pleasant stay. The best part was - of course - the onsen, with its really fine waters. Dinner and breakfast were nicely presented in a huge but windowless room. We stayed in the Japanese-style room, which was almost like a house in itself, but unfortunately with lingering cigarette smell, maybe in the tatami floor, or perhaps the bedding.

A traditional ryokan

Reviewed By canontnia

This is a traditional ryokan. The reception was friendly and professional including tea served in your room upon arrival and an orientation as to the various utilities and yukatas. The room was similar to other ryokans we have visited: large with a low table and two chairs in the centre of the room which are replaced by two comfortable futons put into place while we were at dinner. The difference in this ryokan was a small dressing room with a vanity hidden by a natural beam in the corner of the room as well as four upright chairs in front of a long natural beam table in front of the large picture window. I can understand while some reviewers would see the room as being slightly dated with its dark trim but this is offset by bright halls with their floral carpeting and beautiful stained glass windows. As well, the traditional food was superb - artistically prepared and extremely tasty - with multiple dishes served by our gracious hostess. Given the recent investiture of the new Emperor we had a special menu prepared for Year #1 of Reiwa (the name of the Emperor's era). The onsen was equally excellent, with various pools. A great place to start and end the day. All in all an excellent experience.
