Ryokan Kawakamiya Kasuitei
509-2207 Gifu, Gero, Yunoshima 30, Japan – Great location - show map
The cleanliness in the hotel both in-room and public area was great. The staffs are very friendly and helpful. The food both breakfast and dinner were excellent.
ThailandThe attention of the staffs was out of this world. They were incredible attentive and tried so hard to help you though their problems with English. The food was excellent too!
ThailandEverything was perfect. Staff were very nice, caring and helpful. The food was exceptional. Onsen was really good too.
Thailandcomfortable room condition, nice and cozy onsen, very nice service.
South KoreaStaff are all very friendly and thoughtful. Their warm smile has added much value to our stay. The gentleman receiving us speaks good English so there is no obstacle in communication. The onsen hotel is nicely decorated. Compared to other large hotels in the neighborhood, this relatively small one has successfully created a tranquil environment, making it a good place for rejuvenation. It will definitely be our choice if we pay visit to Gero again.
Hong KongIt is arguably the best accommodation we’ve had in our trip. Much more personalized than the other five stars hotel we’ve stayed in. Go with the room with private onsen, it is worth every penny!
Australia食事が美味しかった。 静かでのんびりできた。 露天風呂が24時間使用できるのと脱衣所にバスタオルが常備されているのが良かった。
Japanスタッフがよかったです。とても親切にしてくれました。0歳と2歳の子供いましたが、部屋食で食事途中で0歳の子が寝てしまいましたが、布団をしいてくれて、寝かせれるようにしてくれました。こちらからお願いしたわけではなかったのですが、このような気配りを随所にしていただき、とても快適に過ごすことが出来ました。
Japan布団がふわふわで寝やすかったです。 従業員さんも優しく、丁寧な対応をして頂きました。 貸切露天風呂も気持ちよく、綺麗な場所でした！
Japan服务超好，很热情，入住有老先生迎接，有的时候老先生和另外两个服务员相送并且叫了计程车免费送到jr站。除了房费有些贵，没有任何缺点哈哈。

-
- What's a ryokan?
- A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
-
- What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
- Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
-
- What's a kaiseki meal?
- Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
-
- What's a yukata?
- A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
-
- How should I wear a yukata?
- First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
-
- What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
- Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
-
- What's standard bathing etiquette?
- At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
-
- Why are tattoos not allowed?
- While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.
