Hotel a Gero

"Beautiful old school hotel with a rich history, they even offer a 5pm art session where they go through some of the impressive art stuff in the hotel with the guests (in Japanese only). They have 3 public baths in the buildings where hotel guests can enjoy and 1 is on level 9 with panoramic view of the river and is open 24 hours! Amazing. Staff are all very friendly and some speak English very well! They have regular shuttles to the station although it is an easy 5mins walk to Gero Station. Would definitely stay again!"

"My stay at the Gero Onsen Yamagataya was a truly memorable experience. This charming hotel offers a delightful combination of stunning views, convenient shopping, and, of course, the relaxing bliss of a traditional onsen. The views from the hotel were simply breathtaking. Whether it was from my room or the common areas, I was constantly treated to picturesque landscapes of the surrounding area. It added a special touch to my stay, creating a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. One of the unexpected highlights was the hotel's in-house souvenir shop. It was surprisingly well-stocked with high-quality local crafts and treats, making it incredibly convenient to find unique gifts for friends and family (and maybe a little something for myself!). The selection was impressive, and the prices were reasonable. Of course, no onsen hotel review would be complete without mentioning the onsen itself. The onsen at Yamagataya was fantastic. The various pools offered a range of temperatures and experiences, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The serene atmosphere added to the overall sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Overall, my stay at the Gero Onsen Yamagataya was exceptional. The combination of the stunning views, the convenient shopping, and the wonderful onsen experience made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable getaway. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a traditional Japanese onsen experience with a touch of modern comfort."

"My room is spacious, great amenities (foot bath, public indoor and outdoor bath, private family bath and private bath). Staffs are friendly, helpful and very polite. Food was excellent . Shuttle is available to and from station. We enjoyed the place very much, and had fun exploring the premise. No complaints at all and will definitely come back to this historical Ryokan."

"La qualità dell'onsen nel distretto di Gero è davvero superiore. La pelle è molto setosa. La struttura del pavimento può sembrare confusa, ma ci siamo abituati molto rapidamente. L'hotel offre una buona esperienza di onsen e kaiseiki a prezzi economici. Molti giapponesi locali, quindi sembrava molto autentico. Gli unici aspetti negativi sono 1. mancanza di opzioni di intrattenimento, ad esempio spettacoli locali, arte e artigianato per bambini piccoli 2. Orario della colazione molto affollato. Potrebbero organizzare diverse sale per la colazione per distogliere la folla o dare biglietti con fasce orarie in anticipo."

"The hotel is settled in the middle of Gero Hot Spring town, short walk from the train station and can also be reached via bus from Kamikochi area. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained. You can feel the spirit of older times in this hotel with a lot of beautifully selected decoration pieces. The manager showed us around and even offered us a new room since I accidentally booked one without shower (we declined that offer since we only wanted to stay for one night). That’s why we used the Onsen area for showering which is beautiful and includes all amenities. View above Gero and including an outside Onsen area to watch the sunrise. The staff was very friendly, the manager even drove us to the bus station since we forgot our jackets in the bus. The bar is well-equipped and a great place for a drink or two. One of the best parts was the breakfast. Never had such a good Japanese breakfast before- delicious, served in a private room, beautifully arranged. Next time we want to try their dinner :-) We felt like family and I can recommend anyone going to Gero to stay at this great hotel! Thanks again for your hospitality!"

"Very good experience and staff are very professional especially Mr Taku Yamada as he went the extra mile to accommodate my request to provide me western bed instead of rokan. Hotel is very nice clean n unique with pulley type lift. Good buffet spread. Definitely a good value for money stay."

"Questo hotel caldo è essenzialmente un giapponese che ospita pochi turisti stranieri.Tutti gli aspetti sono superiori a quanto immaginato, e il prezzo dei due pasti è molto alto.La stanza è uno stile tradizionale giapponese, molto vecchio ma molto pulito. Il bacino caldo è in camera e all'aperto. Quando sono andato a scoprire il cielo alle quattro del primo giorno, ho un ambiente molto buono. Quando si soggiorna, la reception permetterà di scegliere il tempo per la cena. Il buffet è stato diviso in tre periodi. Ho scelto i primi periodi. Ogni volta che sono bastati, e mangiare molto delizioso. Leggi i commenti dicendo che c'è un autobus gratuito ogni mezz'ora, ma in realtà il autobus deve essere prenotato in anticipo e non gratuito. Sono andato all'hotel perché non mi aspettavo l'autobus. Sono stanco di prendere un autobus o di mettere un grande bagaglio nella stazione perché la parte posteriore dell'hotel è piena di strada per tirare il bagaglio."

"An old hotel that retains its grandness.. Although at check in, I was informed there's a charge only if I take the flowery yukata. There are free surprises in the Japanese room every day. Clean Japanese socks, towels in bags and a different Japanese sweet every day with Japanese tea My room faces the Hida River, it was beautiful looking out. It is very near the rail line, but it didn't disturb me. And I suppose all river facing hotels face the same light loving insects. But if you follow the instructions placed in the room, it is alright"

"The stay in Mutsumikan was very good. The Hotel (Ryokan) is very close to the train station. To the center of Gero it takes roundabout 5 minutes by foot. The experience seemed very authentic. Most of the staff understand basic english, so communication was never an issue. Our room was very clean and tidy. Everything you need for a 2 night trip was there. The outdoorbath was pretty small, but that was never an issue with the amount of people staying there. Breakfast and dinner were in a japanese style and very tasty, but maybe not to everyone's palate. Overall the stay was pretty good and I would stay there again."

"L'alloggio recentemente fornito può essere, ad un alto prezzo.La macchina è conveniente.Il personale è molto buono e fornisce tutte le informazioni di servizio e la dieta turistica intorno.La camera è molto spazio.La strada di fronte è la strada calda."
