Shibu-Onsen hot spring baths and Ryoken

Reviewed By Joey H

The absolute best Onsen I have ever been to. I highly recommend a stay here. The hot springs are so soothing, and there is a variety of baths to choose from. The food can’t be beat, I truly enjoyed the multi course traditional meals. The staff goes above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. A big thanks to Shoya! He made my stay extra fun. I hope to return soon

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.

Hightlight of My Honeymooon Trip

Reviewed By Yolandacalista

I went to Konansou appox. December 2018 for my Honeymoon trip. I can confidently say that staying in Konansou was definitely the highlight of my honeymoon trip. I got a japanese tatami room, facing the lovely Kawaguchiko, and ot was so comfortable. The service was excellent too, the service you would expect from Japanese Hospitality. The kaiseki dinner was amazing. They have a rooftop where they have a foot onsen, with a clear view of Mount Fuji. We got lucky that we could see the mountain clearly. The onsen was superb too, the perfect way to end the night. It was a really awesome experience. I would stay again for sure at Konansou.

Reviewed By SandBTokyo

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.

A Lovely Atmosphere

My husband and I spent one night here to celebrate our 48th Wedding Anniversary. The facilities were lovely in our private room with its own onsen-style bath. We asked for a room with beds instead of “futon” and were very comfortable. The amenities (in the bath area) were generous. The evening meal was outstanding.
