The drive from Takayama to this Onsen hotel was a little tough due to the low visibility after sunset in winter. Narrow & winding road was covered by snow, and need extra care. However the destination itself, Garden Hotel Yakedake really impressed me, the they have common bath, open air Onsen plus open air mixed bath (man & woman together) however, after 10pm, the mixed open air bath only open to lady for safety reasons. The dinner was generous which they serve Hida Beef along with Kaiseki course. Even though there isn’t much activities or shopping nearby, their souvenir shop was quite impressive as well. Overall a thumb up.
