Bosenkan Hotel

Bosenkan is a traditional ryokan overlooking the beautiful Hida River and surrounded by a magnificent 1,100-tsubo Japanese garden. The expansive garden offers ever-changing seasonal scenery, from leisurely strolls under illuminated cherry blossoms in spring, to fresh greenery in summer, vibrant autumn foliage, and serene snow-covered landscapes in winter. The ryokan features a wide variety of guest rooms, including Japanese-Western style rooms, Western-style rooms, rooms with private open-air baths, and uniquely designed Asian-inspired rooms, allowing guests to choose according to their travel style. Some accommodation plans include complimentary private baths and colorful yukata rentals, making it easy to customize your stay to suit your needs. As its name suggests, Bosenkan’s signature open-air baths offer a remarkable sense of openness, as if blending seamlessly with the flowing river below. Soaking in the famed Gero Onsen waters, known as a “beauty hot spring,” leaves the skin smooth and moisturized without the need for lotion. Highly recommended dining options include kaiseki cuisine featuring A5-grade Hida beef, such as Hida beef steamed on magnolia leaves or premium steak dishes. The locally grown Koshihikari rice, nurtured by the pristine waters of the Hida Maze River—once ranked the cleanest river in Japan—pairs perfectly with every meal. During summer, the ryokan also offers family- and group-friendly facilities such as a swimming pool and beer garden, providing plenty of ways to relax and enjoy your stay without leaving the property.
