Miyako Hotel Gifu Nagaragawa is located on the banks of the clear Nagara River in the Nagara River basin, which has been selected as one of the 100 most sustainable tourist destinations in the world. The hotel offers guests a taste of Gifu, including Kinkasan and Gifu Castle, cormorant fishing along the Nagara River, and Kawaramachi, a traditional townscape that still retains its traditional atmosphere. It is also adjacent to the International Conference Center, and features high quality facilities and sophisticated service as a city hotel. Gifu is a popular tourist destination for its World Heritage Site Shirakawa-go and workshops where visitors can experience making food samples. Although less popular than Tokyo, Osaka, or Okinawa, you can enjoy Gifu sightseeing at a leisurely pace.
Recommended Points
Miyako Hotel Gifu Nagaragawa is very convenient for visiting sightseeing spots in Gifu City. Gifu Station and other sightseeing spots are easily accessible, and a steak restaurant famous for its Hida beef is also nearby.
The most popular guest room is the River View Twin Room, a spacious 38m2 room with a view of the Nagara River with its clear water flowing leisurely and Mt. Kinka with the famous castle “Gifu Castle” towering above.
The Nagara River is a clear stream that has been selected as one of the 100 best waters. The night view of the city with its colorful neon lights is beautiful, but the scenery away from the city center, which is beautiful in every season, is also very nice.
There is also a sauna in the fitness club. In the popular tent sauna, you can enjoy a self-launched sauna with a Finnish sauna stove.
Breakfast is also popular at this hotel. The hotel’s specialty, “sweetfish soup,” which has won first place in a breakfast contest, is not to be missed. The restaurant is located on the first floor and offers a view of the atmospheric garden and Mt. Kinka, and the delicious breakfast and the natural surroundings will help you to recharge your energy for the rest of the day.
Points to note
This hotel is located on the banks of the Nagara River, a 10-minute drive from Gifu Station, in a quiet and relaxing location. It is a little inconveniently located for those who want to go to a convenience store for a while, or want a downtown area and many other things within walking distance from the hotel. When you go out from the hotel, please pay attention to the contents of the lost and found.
In addition, there will be a legal inspection of the electrical facilities with power outage work at the beginning of the year in January 2024. The power outage will be at midnight, but breakfast will be closed the following morning. If you are looking forward to breakfast, please check this schedule.
