Reviewed By SandBTokyoSuimeikan 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.

Big Old Onsen Hotel
Reviewed By Pirasri PLocated at the heart of Gero, the hotel is a complex of buildings with complicated circulation system due to building extensions. Everything looked aged, but it still offered a very pleasant stay. The best part was - of course - the onsen, with its really fine waters. Dinner and breakfast were nicely presented in a huge but windowless room. We stayed in the Japanese-style room, which was almost like a house in itself, but unfortunately with lingering cigarette smell, maybe in the tatami floor, or perhaps the bedding.
5. Yunoshimakan
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 381 reviews
Yunoshimakan is a long-standing ryokan (Japanese-style inn) in Gero Onsen. The ryokan was established in 1931 and has had the honor of accommodating the previous Emperor Showa and the current Emperor Akihito. The more than 80-years-old wooden structure in a traditional sukiya-style took three years to be built by artisans of Hida, who are local artisans famous for their skillful techniques. The building is designated as a National Tangible Cultural Asset. Since the hotel stands in the great forest, each room commands a view of natural beauty. Guests here can experience the real Japan by staying at this historical main building surrounded by nature. Our ryokan is the best choice for those who want to touch and sample the ambience of real Japan.
Disappointing Commercialized Ryokan
Reviewed By harmann_harrietteThe location and the look of the exterior of Yunoshimakan got my attention but I should have read more reviews to prevent me from booking this wrong one. Having skied 5 days straight in Hakuba our family wanted some pampering with onsen and traditional Japanese cuisine. Our first ryokan stay was in Takayama, an intimate family-run ryokan called Katsuragi no Sato. We had an open bath overlooking snowy garden and the meals and service there were simply fantastic. It was one of the best experience we have had after having many ryokan stays throughout the years. Now at Yunoshimakan came huge disappointment. We have booked a room with an indoor private onsen, but the onsen seems very outdated and run down. Service was none as staff seem to have too much to handle. Food was below average for the price we paid. It seemed like most food was pre-made and waited to be serve in your room. If commercialized ryokan is your cup of tea you can give Yunoshimakan a go. There seems to be quite a number of facilities such as tennis table and club for drinking, but if you are looking for intimate, authentic Japanese ryokan onsen stay then don’t book this one!

Comfortable and homely stay with Fugaku!
Reviewed By doubleqiMy friend and I stayed at the ryokan for one night in April 14 to 15. Upon arrival at the JR Gero Station, we immediately met our driver where he drove us to the ryokan directly (only 3 minutes). We were greeted warmly by the staffs at Fugaku! There were no language barriers as almost all their staffs could speak English. We would like to give a shoutout to Ben who ran us through the functions and rules of the ryokan. He even brought us to our room and gave a detailed explanation to the amenities there! He was a really friendly guy and made us feel really welcomed with his small jokes and conversations. The room was pretty spacious and clean and they even provided Yukata. We had in-room dinner and breakfast there and it was a really great experience as it was our first time! The food was pretty good! Another shoutout would be to this kind lady called Hansol who served our food for both of the meals without fail! She was also friendly and was always smiling throughout. The onsen was pretty small but was still a good experience nonetheless. Overall, the hospitality at Fugaku was what really made us enjoy the stay.

A traditional ryokan
Reviewed By canontniaThis is a traditional ryokan. The reception was friendly and professional including tea served in your room upon arrival and an orientation as to the various utilities and yukatas. The room was similar to other ryokans we have visited: large with a low table and two chairs in the centre of the room which are replaced by two comfortable futons put into place while we were at dinner. The difference in this ryokan was a small dressing room with a vanity hidden by a natural beam in the corner of the room as well as four upright chairs in front of a long natural beam table in front of the large picture window. I can understand while some reviewers would see the room as being slightly dated with its dark trim but this is offset by bright halls with their floral carpeting and beautiful stained glass windows. As well, the traditional food was superb - artistically prepared and extremely tasty - with multiple dishes served by our gracious hostess. Given the recent investiture of the new Emperor we had a special menu prepared for Year #1 of Reiwa (the name of the Emperor's era). The onsen was equally excellent, with various pools. A great place to start and end the day. All in all an excellent experience.

Absolutely terrible stay
Reviewed By Expedition5903891. I am a frequent traveller to japan. I have been to more than 100 onsen hotels in japan and I am sure that this hotel is the worst onsen in the world! The room is tiny, ugly, not furnished, with a view facing building wall, but the price was over 50,000yen per night. Gosh, It’s exactly like a shared room in a public housing estate!!!!! I understood the price is higher in new year, we do not mind about the price. But the quality of the hotel and customer service are extremely terrible. This is a nightmare in new year! 2. This hotel is definitely cheating. We booked a room on japan website, and the images showed a bigger room with open mountain view. If it was stated in the condition that the room is such poor, I will not book this room with 50,000yen. 3. The attitude of the hotel manger was very bad and terrible. He didn’t respect customers at all. He totally discriminated foreigner, especially customers from hk. He completely ignored us when we said we are disappointed with the room and his service, and asked for changing another room or cancellation. He also totally didn’t know English and needs to be helped from his staff. How can someone like that be the manger/ operator of the hotel? I am very very very very very upset and angry staying in this rubbish hotel! Not becos of the money, but the quality of service! It’s totally rubbish! To all foreign visitors, you should not come this this hotel as they are cheating!

Amazing Value !
Reviewed By philyeo2004Decided to do a stopover in Gero before heading on and I must say we were glad that we did. Arrived in the late afternoon and had to park a slight distance away as there were no parking lots available. A hotel staff drives a minivan to show you to the parking lot which is about 3 minutes away and fetches you back. Likewise on your check out. Rooms were a little old but they very clean and the amenities provided from futons, yutakas to toiletries were more than comfortable and sufficient. Dinner and breakfast was buffet style and the variety and quality was good ... not the best but definitely great value considering the price of a night's stay. The indoor and outdoor onsens was pretty decent and interestingly despite the size of the hotel, there were hardly any patrons during my visits. As Gero is an Onsen town, I suspect may visitors use the Onsen pass to visit the famous ones or enjoy the many footbaths as the hotel was never really crowded. What stood out at this hotel were the staff, whether it was a driver, a receptionist or restaurant worker, everyone was pleasant, courteous and always smiling which made us feel very welcome. We will certainly be returning should we visit Nagoya again.
