Hotel Park
8,7/10 Excellent - Based on 118 reviews
Bathed by the serenity of the Gifu mountains, this ryokan in Gifu invites its guests to a haven of tranquility and well-being. The soothing echo of the hot springs, both indoor and outdoor, envelops the place in a mineral softness. After a day of exploration or immersion in the hot baths, the comfort of room service and the warmth of the welcome offer a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity. The establishment also offers Wi-Fi access to stay connected to the world while detaching from it, and offers a bicycle rental service for rides in this region rich in picturesque landscapes.
Rich in its hospitality, each room embodies Japanese elegance. Particular attention is paid to details: immaculate single beds or futons on tatami, spacious private bathroom, and a view that opens onto the surrounding nature. The suites offering a panorama of the mountains promise the visitor a soothing communion with the landscape. Whether traveling as a couple or with family, the different types of rooms lend themselves beautifully to all experiences, providing an intimate and restful setting.
Gracefully, the restaurant named “鶴翔” offers a gastronomic immersion of rare finesse, where Japanese cuisine delights the taste buds for breakfast and dinner. Nearby, local addresses like Yajima Coffee or other cafes and restaurants invite you to perfect the culinary experience. Here, the discovery of flavors is amplified and intertwined with the charm of the region, further intensifying the enchantment of this stay.

Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
7/10 Well located in a natural setting, this ryokan combines traditional architecture and modernity. The cuisine highlights local dishes but does not reach a level of excellence. The onsen offers a pleasant view but remains classic. The rooms, well appointed with tatami, evoke an authentic Japanese charm.
