Kinkasan is right in front of you and the view is good. It takes about 15 minutes to walk along the river to the cormorant fishing pier.

Great hotel. Since it's the 60th anniversary, it's not a new hotel and the exterior looks old, but the interior is nice enough to make it look old. I stayed in a pet-friendly room, but since I couldn't eat with them, I stayed overnight without meals, but I still enjoyed it. In particular, the baths have an open-air bath and a sauna, and I feel that they are well-maintained. You can enjoy Gifu Castle illuminated at night.

This is my 10th trip to Gifu and my third stay at Nagaragawa Onsen.I stayed there because I saw a good value plan.First of all, I thought it would be a little inconvenient to access without a car.There is a bus that takes you to the hotel, and I was lucky enough to catch it, but the number of buses is quite limited, so make sure you know the bus times. On the way back, I walked to the front of the cormorant fishing museum and rode.There are no restaurants or convenience stores nearby.However, there were some places in the hotel that seemed to be reasonably priced.I was planning to eat at Nagaragawa Night Market this time, and I enjoyed it there, so I didn't have any trouble finding dinner.Although the access is inconvenient, it was great for watching cormorant fishing, the Nagara River night market, and Mt. Kinka 😊The quality of the hot spring water in the open-air bath was good.You can also use new towels every time.The rooms are Western-style twin rooms,It was barely on the river side and had a great view!However, the room is old.I didn't use the bath in my room because there was a hot spring, butThe bathroom felt surprisingly dated.Also, I was very satisfied with the breakfast, which I am proud of!The content is good, but the view is great! ✨Where you can have breakfast with such a view,It's not available at Nagaragawa Onsen, and I highly recommend it.There are many types of cuisine,Organic mushroom tempura and young sweetfish,It's really delicious and this buffet...I learned about the existence of ``Kakufu'' and bought it at a supermarket near the station. I had no idea there were such local ingredients.It was very delicious and had a mysterious texture, so I ate breakfast while researching it (lol)The hotel has good points and strange points.A lot happened, but it was a good memory.If I have a chance someday, I would like to stay again during cormorant fishing season.

Prepare a water bottle for watching baseball gamesEverything was fine until I asked the staff at the hotel to get ice and water.When I arrived at the stadium and tried to drink, the water was empty and there was only ice.I was furious.I had no choice but to buy expensive water.I put it in.I don't feel wellAfter returning home from watching the gameTo the hotel man who was presentI hit it hard, butHe gave me two bottles of mineral water as an apology.On the contrary, I think I did something bad.Last year and two years in a rowIt was used as a lodging for the Nagara River Giants battle.I want to think about it next year.Too much lack of common senseI even felt angryIf you think about it normally, it's a water bottle.It would be weird if it was just ice.What about water? That's it!I can only call it stupidI don't want to use it anymore.

The meals are served in courses and come out very slowly. First, appetizers such as cold beans. There are about 3 types of beans, some fried and some boiled. I don't need beans anymore. It doesn't taste like alcohol either. Some meat and small sweetfish were served halfway through the meal, but there wasn't much that I thought was delicious, and the rice porridge that was served at the end was dry despite being rice porridge.The breakfast buffet was very congested, and the food wasn't very good.It was dry even though there were a lot of children. The curry...I thought it would be nice if it was at least sweet.

The Japanese cuisine, which uses plenty of ingredients from Gifu Prefecture, including traditional Hida Mino vegetables, was very delicious. I didn't stay overnight this time, but I would definitely like to stay next time.On another day, I took a bath in Nagaragawa Onsen after a meal, and the hot water was very nice.Recommended if you come to Gifu❗
