The property was very cold in the communal areas. Towels provided were small and very well used.

The guesthouse was in a great location, close to the Higashiyama walking trail. The house is a cool traditional building. The beds were comfortable with a warm duvet.

Poor lighting and bit smallish . The washing machine did not work, not in luck. The staircase was really hard (steep and turning) like a lot of them in japan.

The advice of the landlord. It's fantastic for onsen and place to go. Good English level. They help with our luggage to the staircase.

The place is a little bit cold, but the bedrooms warmed up nicely.

Fuji house is in a beautiful old building in the old town. We arrived in a snow storm to a warm welcome. The futon was very comfortable, and the facilities were fine. There is a characterful little burger joint just down the street, and lovely old interesting streets all around to explore.

Getting down the steep stairs to the bathrooms overnight could be awkward.

This was a delightful stay at a traditional guest house within walking distance of Takayama's historic district. The rooms were cozy, with tatami mats, comfortable futons and shogi screens, and the heating/AC kept it toasty warm. The host was friendly and I really enjoyed our conversations, especially since he was so patient with my learner-Japanese!

Shower/toilet being small and shared not ideal,but that was all very clear before booking and reflected in the price so works out great.

Lovely helpful and friendly host! Great central location, trad Japanese vibe. Great place to stay

Thin walls - you can hear people in the next room pretty clearly, so just be prepared. They offer earplugs, which would probably help! Just be conscious of the people around you and keep quiet.

Great location - many places in walking distance Lovely host - speaks fluent english, kind and nice to chat with! Unique house

Nothing not to like. Despite being a very small accommodation, we were able to arrange to drop our luggage off early.

The host was extremely friendly, spoke excellent English and gave some great recommendations for food and drink. The location could not have been better.

I feel the ambience of the property was reduced somewhat by the endless rules taped to walls etc which gave the impression you were staying in someone’s house who didn’t want you to touch anything

Very convenient location, really nice old style building

I enjoyed everything

I loved this traditional Japanese house. We stayed in the bunk bed room and oh my god the best blanket. Not too hot or cold and kept me cozy when we visited during the fall festival as it was rainy and cold outside. Although bathrooms are shared had no issues. I appreciated that the toilet and shower are separated so you don’t have to wait for an entire bathroom if someone is showering. Loved the location.

The quality ratio was not good(45j yen around 3000 USD for just a room with futon) is a bit overpriced, I thought when booking that this was not a backpack type of lodging. The owner is very nice and very good location though

Great location for seeing the preserved old city areas of Takayama, and for side trips to Shirakawago and Hirayu Onsen. The owner, Takashi, is fantastic - very welcoming, very helpful with good local knowledge. The guesthouse is very clean and very comfortable. Would stay here again and recommend to others!
