Experience of the stay
Surrounded by beautiful rice fields and clear streams, this hotel allows you to fully enjoy the natural charm of Gifu. In the lounge, you can hear the chirping of birds and savoring a free coffee while basking in the fresh morning sunlight is truly an exquisite morning time.
The lounge is adorned with decor that evokes Gifu's history and culture, and I discovered the local specialty "Sarubobo". Its adorable appearance is captivating.
At the shop next to the front desk, I purchased pumpkin pudding and locally produced cheese. The cheese, which can only be tasted in such a rich natural area, was exceptional, with a delicious hint of black pepper! It's a taste that I definitely recommend everyone try.
Experiences during the trip
Before checking in to the hotel, I visited the area around Takayama Station and indulged in plenty of gourmet food and sightseeing.
First up was lunch. When in Gifu, Hida Beef is a must! So, I headed to the famous Marumei to enjoy the top-grade A5 Hida Beef. The generous portion and the melting texture in my mouth were irresistible. The restaurant was bustling with many foreign tourists. Although there was about an hour wait, it was well worth it for a truly satisfying lunch. It might be a good idea to visit with some extra time.
After the meal, I strolled through the charming "Old Town" of Takayama. This area, lined with historic buildings, calms my heart just by walking, and I discovered adorable Sarubobo goods, which are popular among tourists, as well as the lovely Sarubobo ice cream! The milk-flavored ice cream I had was cute with its white color and photogenic.
Additionally, the beautiful clear water flowing in the river along the street was impressive, providing a moment of peace as I paused to admire it.
Finally, I stopped by my favorite coffee stand "Falo Coffee Brewers" that I found on my prior visit to Takayama. I got a freshly brewed light roast drip coffee to go and enjoyed it slowly while soaking in the atmosphere of the street.
Also, the rich matcha soft serve using Shirakawa matcha I had at the roadside station "Pianere" was superb and added to my travel memories.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
