Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (10/5): 最高でした! - 家族7人で泊まりましたが、十分な広さでゆっくり寛げました。お部屋も綺麗で清潔感もあり、スタッフの対応も素晴らしかったです。食事も飛騨牛など美味しくいただきました。お部屋の露天風呂も良かったです。またリピートしたいと思います。
- bikemanMelbourne (10/5): Wonderful accommodation with exquisite food - First - the full name of this place seems to be Gasshozukuri-fu Hanare Hida Tsuzuri Oboro, so it can be a bit difficult to find in searches unless you include this.
The Ryokan is adjoined to the Garden Hotel Yakadake, a typical onsen based Hotel, which was fairly empty when we were there - mid week, shoulder season. It is part of the same business, but a separate, upmarket offering. Individual units are constructed in the Gasshozukuri, pitched roof style, but without the thatched roof. They are amazingly spacious, with two levels, two bedrooms - one Western style and one with tatami mats and futons, which they will roll out for you while you have dinner. We recommend the futons. Each villa has a private hot mineral onsen outside. Or you can don your yukata and walk across to the hotel, where there is a great onsen. There is the normal separate male and female areas and also an outside mixed area. Fear not, if you go to this area you don a sort of loin cloth or shift as you go outside. The outside onsen is very nice and includes a grotto behind a waterfall, where you can soak while looking out at the autumn leaves.
Breakfast and dinner are included and are exquisite. You eat in your own dining room, in the dining complex. The food is beautifully presented. We made life difficult by revealing we are pescatarians when we arrived. No problem, despite the fact this area is famous for its beef, they rapidly adapted and produced an alternative menu. The staff speak just enough English for it to be manageable. The young woman who served us was delightful.
It is remote, but this is part of its charm. Do not be put off. You get on the bus at Takayama bus station, heading for Shinhotaka Ropeway and get off at stop 39. It is a big bus and your luggage goes underneath. No fear of missing your stop, they are displayed digitally up the front. You can buy a ticket at the start, or take the little ticket from the machine on the right as you get on the bus and then pay as you get off. The amount is displayed up front and is determined by where you get on - don't worry, like most things in Japan, it all just works.
There is not much to do in the area, other than visit a bear park (not our thing), or take the bus further up the valleys to the Shinhotaka Ropeway (cable cars). Unfortunately there was a lot of cloud when we went, but if the day is clear, it should be spectacular. It seems to take cash only.
However, if you feel like not doing much at all for a couple of days, this is the place. It deserves to be supported. We were the only guests for the first two nights, so it is certainly not overrun.
Yes, it is pricey, but when you consider what you would pay for the meals in any restaurant capable of producing such food, you will understand the value.
- JiravatJom (10/5): Hidden Gem - We stayed in Oboro for 1 night. We could not find much information and review on this ryokan. But based on what described in the website, we were reluctant to try this place. And we are glad we did!
Oboro is another ryokan brand of Okuhida Garden Hotel. They are located next to each other. We were greeted warmly upon our arrival where they guided us from the Garden Hotel to Oboro. The reception guy at the ryokan is very nice. He explained us in detail about the activities and facilities of the hotel.
Upon arrival at our room. I was amazed with the size and design on the room. Each room in Oboro is a 2 story house. The second floor features a western bedroom, a tatami living room and a toilet. The first floor features another tatami living room, another toilet, a bathroom and a open air Onsen. As of December 2015, this ryokan features the biggest room we have ever stayed in!
The Onsen outside our house is also our favorite. This Onsen is sulfurous (orange water). Most of the Onsens in Okuhida are gensen kakenagashi. This means that the water is directly sourced from the Onsen without any mix of other water content, and will not be reused. The water quality in this Onsen was the best we had tried on our December trip.
The food was also very delicious. Of course, we came here to eat the famous Hida beef. And we were not disappointed. It was one of the best meal we had on the trip.
The staff in this ryokan is very nice to us. We asked if the staff could send us to another ryokan, and he said of course! He drove us to another ryokan, which we really appreciated.
Oboro is really a hidden gem in Japan. The ryokan is still new, and not many people know about this place yet. But it is much better than many places I had stayed. I would not hesitate to suggest this place!
- WholeRye (10/5): Wonderful! - Our travel agent had not been here personally but had heard good things about it. It was one of the best places we stayed anywhere in Japan! The "rooms" are individual two-story houses, with both Western and Japanese style bedroom, multiple toilets, kitchenette, beautiful stream side location in the mountains, and a private hot-spring-fed rock onsen in the back yard of each room. Food was excellent as was the service. Adjacent to the ryokan is a large hotel with amazing mixed sex onsens (you are given a sort of towel thing to wear). There must have been ten different onsens, built into the rocks, with waterfalls, etc. Quite an experience! The next morning we visited a nearby extensive limestone cavern, took a short hike to a beautiful waterfall, and visited a museum with a truly amazing private collection of treasures. Highly recommended!
