Ogawaya

The onsen quality in Gero district is really superior. Skin feels very silky. The floor structure can feel confusing but we got used to it very quickly. The hotel offers good onsen and kaiseiki experience at economical price. Lots of local Japanese so it felt very authentic. The only downsides are 1. lack of entertainment options eg local performance, art & craft for young kids 2. Very crowded breakfast time. They could arrange different breakfast halls to divert the crowd or give timeslot tickets in advance.

Great location, hardware is a bit worn out, room is big but considering the modern travelling the power outlets are a bit far from sleeping area, Japanese hot spring is very good, staffs are excellent

Excellent! Very satisfied for this onsen hotel!! Definitely recommend this accommodation to friends and family. Everything is over expectation: services, facilities, room, public bath (onsen), food, and all. One drawback would be language barrier between some staff, but they really trying to communicate with us which is impressive. Also, there is a free shuttle bus service between train station and hotel during daytime, very convenient. Tips for me is to book this hotel on weekdays, it is half price cheaper than weekends or holidays.

Good location Good hot spring Good view

Cost-effective accommodation in Gero Onsen This time I chose to stay at Gero Onsen Ogawaya. As soon as I entered, it exuded a strong Japanese antique style. The triple room was so big and the view was so comfortable. About the dinner, there are fresh sashimi, exquisite snacks, and Hida Wagyu beef that melts in your mouth. It will be an unforgettable experience. After a delicious dinner, it’s so cool to go to the hot springs! After waking up the next morning, go to Gassho Village and listen to the sound of wind chimes, which is especially peaceful.

Location is excellent, close to the main streets and restaurants. The hot spring baths are good too, particularly the outdoor pools.
