The room is spacious and with a view of Nagara river. Transportation is easy to use with at least four buses taking you along Kandamachi street towards Gifu station. There is a Family Mart 7 minutes by foot. You can walk to Gifu park. The hotel location is ideal for the Cormorant fishing event, visiting the quaint Kawaramachi, Gifu park with the tram to Gifu castle, visiting Gifu museum, Nawa insect museum, visiting the large Buddha, visiting the Ukai museum, walking along Nagara river, visiting Inaba shrine (visit at night and in the morning). Many places to see in Gifu. Also you can take a bus from Meitetsu Gifu station to Shirakawago, Kanayama, and many other places. The Miyako hotel is a beautiful hotel with a gorgeous lobby. The staff are kind, helpful and will call a taxi for you. I will return again and again.
