Kisoya

An an easy 10 minutę walk from the station, don't let the building's 1960's exterior deceive you, the dinner was superb, way beyond expectations, served in your room, fresh, local ingredients, grilled fish and grilled Hida beef, sautéed local mushrooms with a 'mentaiko' sauce, fresh sashimi, another white fish sautéed in a French butter/'wa-fu' sauce, plus more imaginative concoctions in the kitchen that were excellent with two local sakes we ordered, the wonderfully dry 'Horai' and an exceptionally creamy 'nigorizake'. We savored our meal slowly over two hours and finished it with green tea and a walk to the onsen bath. Did I mention the new tatami mats in the room? What's not to like? You can pay for more luxury, but this was excellent value for money. Note that you will be sitting on the tatami while you eat, which may bother some people. The breakfast was also delicious, Japanese style, grilled local anago river fish, yudofu simmered in onsen water, Yama-imo and raw egg, dashimaki tamago, local sautéed mushrooms, tsukemono, miso soup, rice...mmmm.

This was one of best decisions on japan trip. Kisoya made my Gero trip so peaceful and lovely. I enjoyed the Ryokan inn stay. I would definitely recommend everybody to go Kisoya. All the Ryokans numbers are mentioned on the map that you get from train station. I walked to Kisoya and it was easy to reach. The staff are very sweet and super helpful. They go out of their way to assist. They have Public onsen on 6 floor, it has amazing massage chairs and vending machine as well. My tatami room was best, it has fridge , a set of utensils to use, water boiler, and room has a safe box with big mirror. Air purifier was set on aitomati which I really appreciated. Futon and mattress were already there. It was one perfect beautiful lovely stay. Its beside family mart and footpath. I just loved it so much that I am out of words to describe it. I wanted to go to Gasho village and the Ryokan van dropped me at no additional cost and offered to pick if I needed to come back. They do sell Gasho village tickets and onsen pass also . When you complete checking, you will be asked to pick Yukata of your choice as per desighs and sizes available. Very organised process and you can buy the souvenirs in here and pretty much in all Ryokans. They provide drop service to station. Oh yes, their onsen has roses 🌹. Room has a tv and table for dining. Over all, my experience with Kisoya is 5 stars 🌟

The room we got had a private bath which was wonderful. The public bath was amazing and it was a great size.

The food was good The onsen is good

The onsen is great and we loved the yukatas provided by the hotel. The staff of the restaurant was lovely.
