This is my second time to stay at this hotel. Same room as previous. I love this hotel so much.

Kwun, Hong Kong

Helpful staffs make the difference ! It was snowing when we arrived, despite that the shuttle service hour is over, they came to pick us up in their personal cars. (We travelled w 2 children) The GM of the hotel spoke Chinese. She is always around to help. There is also a Filipino staff who can speak English. Thank you !

Meals were tasty and enormous. Location is nice, with rooms overlooking the river, and with cherry blossom, the view from a high floor was great. The hot spring was good as well. The room was spacious and had a space with window that was very relaxing to sit and look out upon the river.

Aleks, United States of America

Spacious room plus good value for halfboard as the menu was different on 2 nigjts. Hotel shuttle was convenient. You can board the bus for Shiragwago at bus stop outside hotel and pay at Takayama station. Some staff can converse in English or Mandarin.

Located in the Gero hot-spring district and with a history of over 180 years, Yamagataya offers Japanese and Western-style accommodations with river views. Guests can relax in the indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and use free Wi-Fi at the public areas. A free shuttle is available from JR Gero Train Station, which is a 5-minute drive away and must be reserved at time of booking.

The air-conditioned rooms feature a flat-screen TV, a fridge and a safety deposit box. Guests can choose to stay in rooms with tatami (woven-straw) floors and Japanese futon bedding or in rooms with Western beds. Japanese Yukata robes are provided for all guests and rooms come with an private bathroom.

Massages can be requested for an extra cost and you can enjoy a game of table tennis. Local products can be purchased at the souvenir shop and luggage storage is offered at the front desk. Complimentary green tea is available.

Traditional multi-course meals are served for dinner and a Japanese set menu for breakfast. All meals are served at the guests’ rooms or at the dining room.

Yamagataya Ryokan is a 5-minute walk from Gero Museum and a 15-minute walk from Gero Onsen Gassho Village.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

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.

눉Upon initial check-in, they had not set up either yukata or hakama in the room, I had to go downstairs to ask for those. The sizes they brought were probably too large. The room was nice but somewhat dated. The staff was somewhat slow and can be more efficient handling paperwork a nd luggage. The hotel advertises a shuttle bus to the station, but in reality the shuttle only operates a few times a day on schedule, and only in the morning. The 10 minute walk to the station along the river is not too bad, even with luggage, but they should not advertise a shuttle bus when it's not available most of the day.
눇Meals were tasty and enormous. Location is nice, with rooms overlooking the river, and with cherry blossom, the view from a high floor was great. The hot spring was good as well. The room was spacious and had a space with window that was very relaxing to sit and look out upon the river.
