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.

Overall, it was quiet, cosy and clean. Value for money. There were a number of facilities in the basement that were closed/covered hence not usable. Deco and room is clean but looks wise of hotel/lobby/room is/looks dated. Would suggest to remove the protection cap or cover or replace with a bigger one so that it fits universal travel adaptors as 2 out of 3 wall plugs was not usable due to universal travel adaptor not able to fit and have to resort to using the powerpoints for the TV / Fridge.

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!

We had the room with outdoor hot spring bath. Our room was very close to the train track so it can be quite noise, but it didn't affect us too much. The outdoor onsen was very nice and we saw the fireworks from our room (special thing the town organised for a couple of weeks). The room was spacious and we liked it very much. The front staffs are mostly foreigners which was a little strange, especially when the hotel is supposed to be an old style onsen. Meals were good, given that we were eating in the private room, I was hoping that the kaiseiki dinner won't be served altogether. Even if the hotel didn't have enough staffs to serve it course by course, perhaps they can at least separate the starters (cold dishes mainly), and the hot mains, because by the time we started eating them, they got a bit cold already. And again, the staff who served us wasn't local. I'd have appreciated it, if the lady provided us with some explanations of the food, like the order of the food or how we are supposed to eat them. So the whole experience felt a little strange. So overall, won't consider to stay there again and will try a different one if we go back to Gero.

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.

We had a very very spacious family room for 3 with half board. Staff were excellent and could speak English too. Meals were omakase and exceptionally good. 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!

It's a nice property, a bit dated but it was good enough for one night and you don't expect 5-star big city modern luxury at Gero as the place is a beautiful little country town and you're there to get away from the crowds, big cities, skyscrapers etc and relax and enjoy the onsens and surroundings. It's a traditional ryokan with tatami mats and futons. The room had a little smell but there's a deodoriser/humidifier and you can open the windows to let in the wonderful fresh mountain air. Best thing was the Kaisei dinner with Hada beef, there's so many dishes and we couldn't finish it all! Breakfast was great too. Location wise, it's about 10-15 mins walk from the main train station, easy to find by Google Maps, but they do offer free pick up service by shuttle buses at scheduled times or a taxi, just need to contact them to arrange. It's also about 20-25 mins walk to the Gassho-Mura village which is a nice walk through the Main Street and up the hill and worth the walk up as you get to see the town. The hotel has a big onsen and so good to relax after a day's walk. Also, around Gero, there are many free footbaths which you can enjoy, the best one is the one next to the river below the main bridge from the train station to the Main Street. The hotel also has a nice garden with koi fishes and a footbath too for you to enjoy as well. Overall, I would recommend Bosenkan as good value with the dinner and breakfast and onsen included. I would have included photos too.
