Hotels Near Mt Hakoiwa in Gero

A very homely feel, clean inn. Limited parking lots next to the inn. A bigger car park slightly away from the inn is available. Private onsen can be booked for ¥3,300 a couple, for 45 mins per session A 2-storey inn, no lift. If you have heavy luggage, they will help you carry to your room. Requested for extra pillow and the rattan bedroom was comfy. They have many yukata to choose from, paired with ko-ko shoes & matching rattan bag for your leisurely stroll. From autumn onwards, they have thicker over-coat as well. Staff are from PRC, Malaysia. Speaking Mandarin & English is a breeze.

I stayed overnight for the first time with my cousin and wife. The best time to see it was over, but the autumn leaves on the road to the entrance were wonderful. The building retains the remnants of its founding. It was a historic appearance where successive emperors' families stayed. I stayed in a comfortable Japanese-style room with 10 and 5 tatami mats. The large communal bath is an alkaline simple hot spring. In particular, the open-air bath with natural rocks is the best. The skin became smooth and smooth, and it felt very good. It is better to change the men's and women's baths the next morning. Supper is in the room. There are many types of menu in kaiseki cuisine, and we enjoyed the seafood and mountain food luxuriously. Breakfast is a Japanese set menu in the hall. Breakfast with dinner was also satisfactory and very delicious. It was a memory of a pleasant trip.

It was a stay using the prefectural people. Because I had declared on the phone in advance, the check-in procedure and the application of the prefectural people were very smooth. The guide in the building was a foreign national staff, and there was a wall of words, but it was easy to understand all the necessary matters. In addition, the information you received at check-in was also described in the information you were able to go to each large bath and were able to use all three large baths without hesitation. I was very worried about which dinner to make, but Ogawaya was the first time to use it, so I made it a standard meeting seat, but it was correct. You can eat at the private room banquet hall, and the amount and taste are satisfactory. The dinner attendant was also a foreign national, but it was very polite and very good as the guide. The breakfast buffet was also used after 7:00, so it was not particularly crowded, and the seat was also very relaxing. It was a type with an open-air bath on the balcony, so the stay in the room is also very relaxing and recommended. It was a stay without any inconvenience at all. I like the accompanying people very much and I would like to visit again when I go to Gero.

I'm struggle to put my review in words cause I am amazed by the services offered by the hotel and the staffs. First of all, upon reaching Gero station from Nagoya station using Hida Line, we are thrilled by the surrounding atmosphere and we took our time snapping photos around not knowing that the hotel offers a free shuttle bus for all their customers. The driver waited patiently at the exit gate, holding the hotel sign board waiting for all customers to leave the Gero station. This is a real PLUS in our stays. After we checked in, the staff lead us to our rooms and explained to us on the facilities of the hotel and the staff helped to exchange the size of Yukata after studying our heights. Very observant and thoughtful. There are 3 different hot springs in the hotel and if you have time, you can visit all of them. You can always put on your Yukata and walk inside the hotel region, including the stunning Japanese garden. Just that, most of the services/shops in the hotel are closed on 9pm JST. Remember to plan properly. The room is very spacious with 2 comfortable beds, a small tatami region for you to enjoy your private Japanese tea time. We love the breakfast provided by the hotel as it offered variety of both Japanese and Western breakfast. There is a shuttle bus service (usually once per hour for instance 10am, 11am and 12 noon) to fetch the customers back to Gero station. The staff waved us good bye is another amazing experience provided by Japanese. It is just amazing feeling. Tips: 1. You can purchase the 5Days JR pass and enjoy unlimited ride on some JR trains if you plan to visit Nagoya region and a day trip to Tateyama Alpine Kurobe route. 2. There are not many tourists during our visiting time (24 April 2023) and we love the peaceful feeling of it. Just that, it also comes with not many restaurants are available during the day.

When I arrived at Gero at 15:15 on the Takayama line, there was a pick-up from other inns, but there was no inn. When I came to Gero pudding on foot, I thought it was different from the place I checked in advance when I saw the signboard of ”Yukai Resort” on the slope behind, but I headed there. I don't know where the entrance is. I found a signboard of Yukai Resort and found it located below, so I went there. １ floor is no elevator in the parking lot. When you go up to ２ floor on the stairs, there is a front door. When you receive an explanation at the front desk, you receive a local coupon ticket 1000 yen. The bathroom is written in 30 minutes on the paper pasted in the indoor and open air ２ places. I don't like it because it is bathing for men and women, but I decide to enter the men's hot water. I take my luggage by foot and elevator to the room. I display yukata yukata and choose it myself. There is no newspaper. There is a store. There is a personal computer corner on the way to the room, and there is a cartoon corner. There is a male group yuuo Ryoma. The key to the door of the room is not chien by pressing the protruding part of the knob. There is a bathroom and toilet across the door. The location of the light switch in the room is near the entrance. Table 1 bag of tea bag of teisu Yu Yu Shirakawa tea. There is no sweets. When you read the explanation sentence, there seems to be a transfer car running between the station and the main building, but there is no night. There is no early morning. It seems that the bathhouse in the main building can be used, but I thought that it was not enough to go because it was different from men and women. The towel is not in the bathroom and is in the open door. There is a refrigerator on the veranda. There is an electric pot. The open-air bath walks on the floor like a golf course. Keys are put in a key locker. There is a washroom. The surrounding scenery is not desired. The checkout costs the bill when you close the key to the screen.

The facilities and space inside the house are very good. We have a mixed design of Japanese and Western styles, with a separate washlet. Japanese breakfast and evening Japanese dishes are delivered to the room according to the time chosen by the passengers. They are different every day. They taste good and are quite exquisite. I took baths in indoor and outdoor hot springs. The only dissatisfaction is that the wifi is too poor and the signal is often interrupted. The price is about 2,000 RMB per day for two people with one hotel room and two meals, which is pretty good. The location is not far from the JR station. The hotel has JR pick-up stations in the afternoon and JR drop-off stations in the morning, which is very convenient.

Use block discount on weekdays. Overnight with a plan with color 々 benefits. The staff will move the car. There is also a guide to the room. The color yukata of the benefits was not damaged and there were some types. The room is large and clean. Supper is satisfactory with room meals. Breakfast is disappointing. The public bath was comfortable without congestion. The staff feels good. Foreign nationals were also full of Japanese. It was a reasonable and satisfying stay. However, it may be severe when it is crowded, such as the day before the holiday.

The hotel is not in the Gerv area. It takes about 20 minutes to get over from Gerv. There are not many bus shifts. They usually come by car and have plenty of parking spaces. The room is also the size of a general hot spring hotel, but you must go to the hot spring to take a bath. There are many hot spring pools in Xialv. There are also steamed wooden barrels in the hot jacuzzi. The dinner breakfast is very rich and delicious. The price is very good. It is the 𩠌 dish that cannot be selected for dinner outside the official website.

It was a good place to stay. I would like to visit again if the timing is right.

We felt cheated. This was our second visit to Wanosato and we stayed at the same suite (Tenryu), but the experience was completely different. The room smelled strongly musty (our clothes in the suitcase still smelled the same mustiness for days after leaving Wanosato). There were cobwebs and balls of dust in the room. As a result, our dust allergy was so severe that my wife had to keep a face mask on in order to sleep. It was clear that Wanosato was short of staff. Rarely anyone at the counter; even the dinners were toned down/reduced from our last stay 4 years ago. It was not the staff's issue. They worked hard and had a good attitude. It was the issue with the management/owner. Faced with staffing shortage, the management apparently chose to maximize profit by making available more rooms than the staff could handle, and in the process the service standard deteriorated significantly. To be charged 250,000 yen per night for the suite, we expected better (at least a clean suite). The steadfast commitment to quality by luxury ryokans and hotels in Japan is the reason we keep coming back. Such trust is lost with Wanosato. We will not revisit in the future.
