Traditional Onsen Accomodation.
The property is slightly dated & the style of the rooms in the main block were old. However its public bath/ hotspring (i.e. onsen) were newly decorated & very roomy / well-lighted. It would be perfect if the rooms are facing the river which is the major HIGHLIGHT of the Gero township. The breakfast was excellent & recommend fellow travellers to also book dinner with the hotel as there is basically not many restaurants nearby in a hotspring township like this.

The check-in staff was impolite and indifferent. Also, the room we stayed in was outdated and dirty. The only plus is the beautiful onsen (public bath).

Nice place but needs updating.
We were put in the old wing which was inconvenient to get to and run down. Room was large and comfortable but they didn’t fix the mattress daily. There was drinking water on the first day and then I had to go get myself on other days. Had Kaiseki on the first night, not as good as others I’ve tried. Staff were polite and helpful. Overall a good stay.

The hotel provided shuttle bus to the Gero Station, which I thought was very convenient!! I stayed in the new building that rooms are western style. My room was very big, new, and came with balcony, facing the river. I really liked the pillow and comforter, also bath room.

Great Onsen experience
I upgraded my room because the actual room I booked condition not really satisfied, after upgrade my room, i really enjoy the room design and tatami, it's a balcony to have a river view and also a place to make tea also to see the river view. The onsen indoor and outdoor is big enough and relaxing. The shop near lobby also sell a lots of souvenir. The hotel will arrange the tatami at 7pm.

Nice hotel (Ryokan) in a spa town
We chose this hotel because Takayama was full (float festival) and only one hour away by rail. The hotel was big and mainly used by Japanese clients. Our bathroom only had a toilet and basin so we were forced to use the onsen. This is highly recommended. Our room was fine otherwise and just across the river from the rail station. Recommended.

Slightly faded, but delightful
Gero is a slightly faded hot springs resort town, and the Ogawaya is a slightly faded, but still charming and attentive, large ryokan-style hotel. Tatami-mat rooms are good-sized and clean, futons comfortable, and bathing facilities (indoor and outdoor) decently maintained. Buffet breakfasts are outstanding.
