"Excellent boutique hotel.
It was beautiful inside and very intimate. The little cafe was cozy and had snacks all day long plus coffee and tea. There is a private onsen and little garden. I sadly missed the breakfast that they offered to us as i was so tired and comfy in the bed i had trouble getting up. The room was beautiful with great amenities and drinks for you. It was spotlessly cleaned. The manager was very friendly and quick to respond to messages. It is the type of place I personally...

"This was a very memorable place that I visited. It is in the rural area of japan, you can really feel the realness of the area. It's in gifu however it's definitely not a tourist trap area. The owners of the establishment reminded me of my grandmother. You are not getting a hotle with this stay more of a B&B, it definitely felt like I a was sleeping over a japanese grandma's house. They also gave grate advice on a nice local restaurant at the bottom of a locals Mt that you can hike after to see...

"Very nice cabin in the Gifu mountains with a covered patio outside that’s fitted with a charcoal grill, sink, fire wood and a portable fire pit. The cabin was very clean, spacious, and well built with a unique taste. Two bedrooms on the second floor with a front facing sitting room. The shower room was very nice with a large tub crafted from wood. The owners are also very sweet, one of them speaks good English. They provide you charcoal and fire starter for the grill, but be aware that bath...

"Japanese style room with tatami mats and futons. Very clean, comfortable and stocked with all necessities and amenities. Kimono, slippers, toiletries and supplies.
Two public baths, both with outdoor and indoor soaking spaces. Clean and we'll maintained.
All employees very polite, helpful and professional.
Dinner buffet incredible. Wisd variety of foods. Slightly expensive, but worth it."
"I had a really enjoyable stay at Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Gujo. Concierge staff (Kawaii) was extremely helpful and took time to answer my questions regarding food and transport options to nearby sight-seeing spots. Even though there was a language barrier, she took effort with using a translation app and ensuring I got the help needed. The hotel is also really nice and clean! I especially like the common area with shared kitchen amenities.
Just a heads up for those intending to stay here (especially those not driving). Hope this will help future travellers!
1. Please check the railway timing at Mino-Ota Station before arriving, as trains don't run frequently on the Nagaragawa Railway to Gujo-Yamato. During your stay if you want to visit nearby sight-seeing attractions, please also check the railway timing.
2. The hotel is actually just a straight road from Gujo-Yamato Station, not sure why Google Maps showed me a de-tour.

"Nice new and clean rooms with all the things you need (not very well insulated though). In the close proximity to the Hotel there wasn't much in matter of eating out or shops, but 10min+ walk would get you where needed. And 20min+ walk to either of nearest train stations. But overall it was a pretty good value."
"We stayed here for 2 weeks. It was within a 10 minute walk from my family, which was the reason for our stay. Across the street from the railway station, which was great for us. Laundry facilities. Single rooms are snall but convenient, and quiet. Limited English amongst staff. Tub/shower unit has high sides which may be hard for some to get unto to use. Wonderful selection for breakfast, and within walking distance to McDonalds , KFC , Bronco Billy's. For visitors from outside of Japan, please remember the counrty you are visiting and be respectful. Would stay here again."
