Overlooking the Nagara River and offering a luxurious and traditional Ryokan experience, the Sugiyama is the perfect place to relax and experience Gifu. Rooms, all decorated beautifully in Japanese style, offer bath accessories and access to the hot-spring baths the hotel contains. The hotel’s onsen baths are all fed from the Mitauro spring, and supposedly offer relief from muscular and nerve pain, and promote general good health; the hotel also offers carefully-prepared traditional Japanese courses, including several crafted from rare fish found in the Nagara River. If you want a traditional experience that is truly representative of the Gifu area, the Sugiyama is the perfect choice.
