Koyoi Tenku ni Asobu Shogetsu

Perched atop a hillside overlooking the hot spring town of Gero, Koyoi Tenku ni Asobu Shogetsu is a ryokan renowned for breathtaking views from both its guest rooms and open-air baths. Designed as a tranquil retreat, the inn welcomes guests aged 13 and older, ensuring a serene atmosphere for a relaxing stay.

The guest rooms are spacious, arranged with only three per floor, each boasting expansive windows framing panoramic vistas of the southern Hida mountains and the charming townscape below. At night, the illuminated townscape offers a magical sight, distinctively different from daytime views. For guests seeking an even more spectacular experience, rooms featuring larger windows or private open-air baths are particularly recommended.

The hot springs, acclaimed as one of Japan’s three most famous hot-spring areas, feature outstanding water quality enjoyed from both spacious indoor baths and scenic open-air baths. Additionally, private baths available for a fee are located along the mountain stream, offering serene seasonal views of lush greenery or vibrant autumn foliage.

Dinner is served in the elegant and authentic Sukiya-style private dining rooms of the ryokan’s restaurant, Suikintei, highlighting sumptuous Kaiseki cuisine made with seasonal ingredients, with premium Hida beef as the centerpiece.
