Oyado Eitaro (Hirayu Onsen)

平湯温泉 お宿 栄太郎

A small family-run Hirayu inn by the bus terminal where a Gifu master chef's Hida-beef kaiseki and three untouched hot springs — with two free 24-hour private baths — earn near-perfect scores; the rooms are plain and small, with no baths of their own

Yarimikan

槍見の湯 槍見舘

Riverside open-air baths facing the Northern Alps, four free private baths and Hida beef, in a 200-year-old farmhouse — rustic by design, with mixed bathing and a lot of steps

Yamazato no Iori Soen

山里のいおり 草円

An 1836 Hida farmhouse rebuilt in a quiet mountain hamlet, with charcoal-hearth dinners, wood-fired rice and free-flowing water from three springs — including free private baths open all night — but no room has its own bath, there are lots of stairs, and the hearth runs hot in summer

Okada Ryokan & Warakutei (Hirayu Onsen)

奥飛騨 平湯温泉 岡田旅館・和楽亭

A big, century-old Hirayu inn by the bus terminal with free-flowing sulphur baths, an iron-pot open-air tub and generous Hida beef dinners — cheap in the main building, private open-air baths in the ten-room Warakutei annex, but the water can run too hot and upkeep is patchy

Fuji-Kawaguchiko Onsen Konanso

富士河口湖温泉郷 湖南荘

A big, polished lakeside inn that still serves kaiseki dinner in your room, with Mt Fuji from the rooftop foot bath — but it stands on the town shore, so 40 of its 50 rooms face the lake rather than Fuji, and the heated spring water has little character

Kozantei Ubuya

湖山亭うぶや

Un gran ryokan a orillas del lago con la celebración como tema, donde todas las habitaciones miran al monte Fuji al otro lado del lago Kawaguchi — pero los baños al aire libre de las habitaciones no son onsen, la cena es ahora un bufé o shabu-shabu y el Fuji suele esconderse en verano
