Romantic Hotels in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Awesome hotel located just 5-10mins walk behind FamilyMart ie opposite the TAKAYAMA NOHI Bus Stn & JR. The check in was easy & front desk staff was very professional ensuring the process was easy & swift! The hotel has a great & large Hot Spring and outdoor Rotenburo Onsen they’re segregated Men-Women. The onsen lobby has large lounge space to relax, free ice cream and a large full length glass window overlooking you may sit on chairs & coin operated massage chairs enjoying the beautiful town and fabulous snow capped mountains at the edge of the town in the day & sunrise!! The morning Japanese breakfast options are plentiful, staffs are helpful and friendly too! To walk to the Old Houses District perhaps only take 15mins leisure walk but gets really quiet & dark by 6PM in March!

One of the most unforgettable stays we’ve ever had. From the moment my family stepped through the door, we were wrapped in a warm, cosy ambience that instantly made us feel at ease. The room was impeccably clean and wonderfully comfortable, offering the perfect space to relax and unwind. Both dinner and breakfast were nothing short of exceptional—each meal thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delightful. The onsen, overlooking a serene river view, was the true highlight, creating a tranquil and almost dreamlike experience. Every moment spent there felt precious and completely worthwhile.

The hotel room is pretty big by Japan standards, and the feeling of the hotel is really grand! Lots of locals were staying there, but the rooms are a little bit dated. The toilet lights were quite dim and the bathrooms could use an update. However, everything worked perfectly and the stay was still extremely enjoyable! The hotel is situated right next to a bus stop so that makes things super convenient! There’s also a family mart behind the hotel (shortcut! go out of the main door, turn right, walk down the ramp, immediately turn right and right again into the small path, go up the stairs past the hotel park, then turn left and cross the small roads, and you’ll find the konbini) The hotel also rents out bicycles to hotel guests FOC, so you can take the bike literally anywhere! We rode to the supermarket (~10 mins away) and also down by the river (10/10 recommended!) and just explored lots around! Gifu is a lovely quiet town and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to experience a side of Japan that isn’t just Tokyo or Osaka.

The quality of the hotel is very high. It's conveniently located near the train station and a 15 minute walk to the old town. The spa is really nice, clean, and spacious. The family spa is a nice touch. Rooms are very large, comfortable beds, with a tub. The only drawback is breakfast. The restaurant is too small to accommodate guests. It's odd that it's common in Japan to have large hotels, with many guests, include breakfast, and then build a tiny restaurant. Makes no sense. Options are limited and food is the same every day. I wouldn't recommend it, but there's so few options nearby or in the town in general, that you basically have to eat there. Just go before 8 AM. Otherwise, the hotel is really nice.

Located in proximity to the Gifu Station and surrounded by convenience shops and restaurants. The room was quite good, though some surfaces there were dusty and the drinking cups weren’t properly washed. Clean towels and water bottles were supplied every day. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Every year at the end of the year, I visit Takayama, mainly to see the snow scenery in Shirakawa-go, and this hotel has pretty much become my go-to choice. What I love most is the service; the staff are all incredibly warm and attentive, making for a very comfortable stay. Plus, you can book a private onsen, which is wonderfully quiet and relaxing – a real highlight of the trip. Last year, the room I stayed in had a beautiful Japanese tatami area, which really added to the traditional Japanese ambiance. It's a shame I couldn't book that room type this time; it seems they no longer have it, which is a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, the overall experience was still excellent, and I'll likely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Takayama.

This hotel is super convenient, just about 200 meters from Takayama Station. The location is excellent! There's a drugstore right outside and a FamilyMart, and a 7-Eleven just a short walk away. The room was really comfortable, the bed was quite big, and the view from the window was nice. Plus, it even had a washing machine and microwave! The foot bath on the top floor was perfect for a relaxing soak before heading out in the morning. And on the second floor, there's a hot spring bath and a breakfast/dinner buffet. Overall, I was very satisfied.

Great location, within walking distance to many restaurants. They have their own paid parking, which is convenient for those traveling by car. The hot spring views must be beautiful during the day, and the facilities are very complete. Overall, a great experience!

🌿 A Secluded Paradise in Okuhida Mountains The moment I stepped into Okuhida Sakurakan, I was captivated by its authentic old folk-house architectural style and the rich scent of wood. The hotel's overall design blends perfectly with the surrounding natural landscape, making it feel like staying in an exquisite forest museum. The rooms are spacious and full of Zen, with magnificent views of the Northern Alps outside the window, beautiful in every season. ♨️ Ultimate Hot Spring Experience The onsen experience here is simply perfect. Besides the public bath, the hotel's **private open-air baths (kashikiri onsen)** offer a truly ritualistic experience. Soaking in the hot springs surrounded by snow-capped mountains and forests is both private and romantic. I especially recommend a morning soak, breathing in the crisp mountain air and feeling the warmth of the spring water—it's a complete rejuvenation for body and soul. 🥩 A Gastronomic Feast The Hida beef dinner banquet was astonishing; the meat was tender and melted in my mouth, and every dish was exquisitely presented like a work of art. The hotel's signature offerings—the complimentary late-night 'Yonaki' ramen and the free Hida milk or ice cream after a bath—truly highlight the delicate and warm Japanese hospitality.
