This was my second stay at Mutsumikan, with 2 different friends. Needless to say, I have totally enjoyed my first experience in 2018, so Mutsumikan was an obvious choice when I visited Gifu area, Takayama in particular, for the Takayama Festival. Mutsumikan is a small and quaint onsen hotel, so the experience is intimate and very homely. I was reminded by my first impression of Mutsumikan in 2018, to see my name at the entrance where they displayed the names of all guests checking in for the day. It is a welcoming and warm gesture. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by name, by Ms Saito at the hotel lobby before check in. She actually remembered me from 2018. Such is true hospitality! The location of hotel is excellent, very convenient from JR Gero station and within walking distance to nearby walking streets. The room is cozy and clean. The onsen is superb. And of course, dinner. It is a must to have dinner and breakfast in Mutsumikan, the food is so delicious! Everything is prepared with love and dedication. I will stay with Mutsumikan again when I visit Gero!
