Find Historic Hotels in Chubu

"We stayed in the older section and it is due for renovation. The toilet flush was the loudest I have ever heard. The masks on the walls show the need for paint. The dinner was good the breakfast buffet had a wide selection but none of it was outstanding."

"I originally planned to say at a ryokan, but since I'm traveling during busy season they traditional ones were all sold out. I stumbled upon this property, and I'm so glad I did. I would recommend this property to everyone staying in Hakone. It's central, but more than that it's gorgeous. The garden itself is beautiful with cherry blossoms (during season) and koi fish. There's a hike to the Mt Fuji view which we didn't do this time. The staff member Park was absolutely helpful - she drew us maps...

"Absolutely wonderful place to stay, near very nice parks and great breakfast."

"This was a nice clean hotel in a good area. You can walk to the huge fort/palace/garden. Also to nice shopping and an "old town" area."

"Wonderful hotel. I will definitely come back. The bed is excellent, soft like clouds! I did not want to leave my bed in the morning. Breakfast selection is decent too. In your hotel room, there is very detailed muti-page recommendation of places and food to try. It is written in both japanese and english. The location is about 5mins from Matsumoto castle. Check if the castle does light up at night during your stay."

"It’s a business travel type hotel-utilitarian, not luxury. Walking distance to a cute town with good restaurants. Breakfast was above average for food choices."

"Wonderful experience! A stately & historical large ryokan nested on the eastern hill slope of Gero town. My second stay at this ryokan & will continue to stay there next time I am in Gero. Very good vista of the town in the morning or evening. Very large garden & landscape, with tall tress & seasonal flower trees.or bushes.. a beautiful & varied feast for the eyes & senses if one come at different seasons... Has its own hotel museum to showcase it's checkered history & early artifacts, etc....

"The attention to details in everything - service, food, cleanliness - was top notch. We had the most enjoyable ryokan experience! It exceeded our expectations "
