The property itself is so beautiful. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The rooms were as described and actually quite large. We really enjoyed the balcony. Note all rooms are smoking but as a non smoker it did not really bother me after they they used the spray.

A good location from which to enjoy the Gero Onsen experience. Free shuttle from the train station makes it convenient. The dinner and breakfast are excellent if you like japanese style meals. Very convenient to local shopping, etc. Very enjoyable hot baths. Recommended if you like public baths and ryokan style meals.

Bosenkan mean Riverview Inn, and it really offers a fine view of the Hida River. This is a traditional Japanese style place, with tatami mat rooms, nice yukata robes for guests, and a very nice indoor outdoor communal bath. I highly recommend it if you are staying in Gero Onsen, one of Japan's big three famous spas.

Beautiful stay, noisy heater

The view was amazing from the lobby and our room. We came here in late November when it just started to snow and the combination of the outdoor Onsen with snow falling was absolutely the best. The only thing was the heater in the room was a bit noisy.

Corridoor reeks of cigarette smoke and we were concerned the rooms would be too but we were so glad they didn’t smell at all. Very comfortable and luxurious stay!

The hotel is dated which needs refurbishment. But the amenities offered were good. The Japanese style room we stayed was spacious which can fit in 7 futons. We had half board during our stay. The food served were amazing and looked beautiful which was beyond our imagination. Though the property itself offers only smoking rooms, we as non-smokers didn't find it a problem at all. And parking is free. We would definitely recommend it.

Very nice and clean hotel, spacious rooms (Sadly we only stayed for one night). We went there during Silver Week which meant that a lot of local restaurants in the area were closed. After a bit of searching we found a restaurant with some locals. This turned out in some very funny converstations. I highly recommend this hotel, it is in a good spot, expecially when traveling by car. The neighborhood is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Quiet and older onsen by the river and train tracks in Gero onsen town. A shuttle service is providing certain hours, but we opted to walk to the resort from the train station. After a hot bath I recommend having a nice cold milk from the vending machines. Staff was friendly, room was clean, and it was fun to try the dinner/breakfast. Some instructions and info on how and what we were eating would have been nice but not knowing is a fun part of that experience! Thank you for having us!
