This is a Japanese lodging built on a quiet, high ground area overlooking the hot spring town of Gero. Thanks to their confidence and duty in designating themselves a kaiseki lodging, their best selling point is their cuisine.
At check-in, guests are given a handwritten copy of the day's menu.
The lodging's A5 grade (the highest grade) Hida beef and "Gin no Mikazuki" rice - a specialty rice sourced from Gero which was selected as Japan's most delicious rice - are quite delicious.
The lodging has an excellent range of facilities that include a scenic view open-air bath with a view of the nearby Mt. Nakane (also known as Gero-Fuji), 9 rooms with their own varying open-air baths, and more. It's an adult hideaway.
[Attraction 1: Monthly Changing Kaiseki Cuisine]
The pride of the lodging it its kaiseki cuisine. The cuisine is named "Yojo Kaiseki" with the hope that, as the meaning in Japanese would suggest, it would linger in guests' hearts long after the experience.
The monthly changing cuisine features seasonal and local ingredients, and a specialty cuisine prepared with Hida beef, one of Japan's most famous brands of beef. The lodging also features the wondrous Gin no Mikazuki rice, which has won the gold award at national rice contests! The rice is prepared in both pot cooked and earthenware cooked styles. (This is 1.5 times bigger than Koshihikari rice!)
The warm items are warm, and the cold items are cold, and the cuisine is prepared and served with love in each dish.
[Attraction 2: Guestrooms with Open-air Baths]
Of the total 17 guestrooms, 9 include open-air baths. Guestrooms with open-air baths allow guests to relax and enjoy their bathing experience at their own pace, whenever they like. Each guestroom with an open-air bath has its own unique atmosphere, meaning guests can request the room and bath that best fits their desires.
[Attraction 3: Steak Kangetsu]
Steak Kangetsu opened in April 2017. It features a blend of Japanese and Italian cuisine with main dishes of Hida beef. Dinner at Kangetsu can be enjoyed by guests staying at the lodging, and also as a standalone dining experience. Since its opening, the restaurant's cuisine has received many favorable reviews. Enjoy your experience at Kangetsu, the pride of this lodging.

The hotel staff are very friendly and services excellent. I was pleasantly surprised when they gave my family a free upgrade to a better room. The food is nice and very elaborated.

子どもが小さいので、ブュッフェやセルフのウェルカムドリンク等の宿にばかり泊まっていました。今回は、仲居さんがついてくださり、その方が最後までお世話してくださいました。とても心地よく、かゆいところに手が届くとはまさにこの事！来て良かったです。料理も美味しく、お湯はとても柔らかく、心も身体もリラックスできてとても良かったです。

お部屋、お食事、温泉すべてにおいてとても素晴らしかったです。 接客も丁寧で、良い２日間を過ごせました。 また、曇りだった為、夜は星空など見られませんでしたが、翌朝晴れたお天気の、瑞々しい木々や山を一望出来てとても良かったです。 また泊まりたい宿となりました。

“You can spend your time in a relaxed atmosphere.”
Delicious food and attentive service. The Gassho Village is right in front of the inn. The heirloom egg pudding and dashimaki (Japanese soup rolls) were excellent.
