So peaceful
Very limited English so expect to need to read all directions. But over all a very nice hotel and spending that extra amount to face the river side is worth it.

The staff was very attentive and helpful. The larger onsen was clearly designed by someone who enjoys baths, as the sides were designed to be very comfortable for the neck to relax.

A traditional Japanese inn and onsen which is nevertheless accessible to westerners by the simple addition of beds in otherwise entirely Japanese style rooms. Staff made up for limited English with a warm welcome and helpful approach. The hotel is in an historic street very close to the site of the cormorant fishing. Japanese buffet breakfast was first rate. Having the reception staff assemble outside the hotel to wave goodbye to departing guests was a lovely, and typical, touch.

Best hotel in Gifu
For a hotel that has over 150 years of history, this is very well maintained. Rooms were clean and very comfortable stay. The spring water for the Onsen was exqusite. They had different types of water for help improve skin and aching muscles. I cannot speak enough about their service. My son left his backpack on the bus on the way to the hotel. The staff made multiple calls to help contact the bus company and find the items. Highly recommend this hotel if you are in the area.

Great onsen hotel. It maintains its traditional architecture but the interior looks new and the whole place is kept very clean. There are a few different pools in the onsen which is nice. There is also a small onsen bath tub on the balcony of your room if you choose that room type, a pretty special experience. The set dinner was exquisite and the breakfast buffet was decent. The location is great if you plan to visit the Gifu Castle, you can literally walk to the ropeway station. In terms of down sides, the room is smaller than it seems and it is easy to miss the small road leading to the hotel entrance if driving at night. But these are really negligible issues. Last but not least, great customer service by every staff member we met. They speak English well too.

Great choice for the Cormorant Fishing
We chose this hotel to be close to the Cormorant fishing. The tourist boats leave directly in front of the hotel but the actual fishing happens upstream on the other side of the bridge. If you want to watch the fishing from the shore, walk upstream past the bridge and keep going until you get to a car park. From here you can access the rivers edge. The tourist boats will be lined up in the river so keep walking upstream until you are just in front of the 1st boat. The Cormorant fishing boats start a couple of hundred meters further up so you will get a really good view as they float downstream and approach the tourist boats. I recommend watching from the shore. The hotel itself was very nice. We were 2 people in a Japanese style room with river view. Supposedly it fits 5 futons which would be a little tight. No blackout curtains and the light streamed in early, so if you are trying to battle jetlag then make sure you bring an eye mask. I found the futon to be comfortable but not the pillow which had some sort of inner rice construction. The staff were extremely welcoming. The English wasn't always the best but they tried and it added to the experience. Breakfast was really, really good. Mostly local food with some western options. We were the only 2 westerners at breakfast. There are local buses departing from the train station which get you close to the hotel. Ask in the tourist info office. The hotel has a free shuttle bus to the train station that departs at 0930.

Wake up to the flows of Nagara River
Room: Comfortable, clean and well kept. Has all amenities necessary. Food: Hotel's breakfast was good - in variety and quality. Service: Warm hospitality & all staff demonstrated service excellence. We came specially for the Ukai (1st day) and it was really eye-opening. Overall, the proximity of Nagara River, kind hotel staff and good food nearby created some good memories for us.

Top place to stay
We happened upon Gifu as a stop midway on our travels. What a surprise to find some a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location The old town is full of history and culture with Gifu castle on the hill top. We took the challenging hike up, but there is a cable car. Well worth the effort The onsen at the Juhachiro are wonderful. Many different types and a perfect way to relax after our day’s hike. We hope to return in the summer to see the cormorant fishing nights. Great stopover

Great for Japanese hot bath and cormorant fishing!
On a recent family trip to Japan, we stopped in Gifu to see the cormorant fishing (a fascinating and enjoyable experience), and had the good fortune to spend a night at the Juhachiro. It was a fantastic experience. The location was great -- an easy bus ride from the train station, right at the dock where the fishing and spectator boats leave from, in an area of town with a number of interesting traditional shops and restaurants. Our room was a large, extremely tastefully decorated Japanese style room, with a private bath, and a nice little enclosed viewing room, looking over the river. The breakfast buffet was delicious and full of surprises -- from Japanese specialties (including sweet fish soup) to western-style pancakes. And the onsen -- the Japanese hot baths on the premises -- was absolutely heavenly, including a traditional hot bath, and invigorating bubble-bath, and (our favorite) a natural hot spring bath.
