Nothing not to like.

It was a very nice specious, clean room with beautiful view of the Takayama city. The stuff is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is really delicious! We wished we could stay longer.

I had difficulty to find the entrance and the street that goes towards hotel is uphill so it was really hard to reach it with my suitcase.

Amazing Japanese room, spacious with beautiful view! The room was clean. The staff was very friendly and the public onsen were really nice! I highly recommend it!

Everything, the room was big and comfortable, we got given yukatas to walk around, go to the restaurant and to the baths, it was very comfortable. Everything was clean. The food was excellent. The baths were great, lovely and clean. There's two baths, separated by male/female, and they change from morning to night so you can try both. The staff was ok with us using the baths despite of having tattoos. There's a private onsen too in case you want to share with your friends/family. There's a terrace outside with views to the city. The location is slightly up the hill but they provide with a shuttle bus to and from the train station.

It is a bit up a hill to get to the property from town, but the location is actually very good and the town is very walkable. There is also a hotel shuttle to and from the bus/train station.

Very nice, traditional experience. The view from our room was really nice, the staff (especially the restaurant ladies) were great, the onset was wonderful and the food was very yummy (breakfast was included with our room and was really good, and dinner was around ¥8,500 per person if I’m remembering correctly and was really worth it, a great experience). The town is great, definitely go to Takayama.

Breakfast is excellent

Inside onsens was a bit outdated and water was cold. But the outside onsen was nice.

Welcoming staff, room was small and cozy, onsen was ok, view froom window over the city was nice and the food was amazing.

Good location, close to the main attractions and old town. Wonderful views over the city's panorama from the room.

No issues with the property but it is worth noting that it is a 15 min walk downhill into town.

Amazing traditional ryokan stay with incredible kaiseki breakfast and dinner. Lovely staff, beautiful rooms, comfortable futons.

Gorgeous, gorgeous stay! Beautiful place tucked away on the hill with the most INCREDIBLE views, but easy walking distance to everything. The onsen was GORGEOUS, one of the better ryokans, and you can also hire a private bath if you want to share the experience with partner. Very comfortable and warm rooms, great breakfast. Shuttle to bus/train station. Will return!!

Amazing view, spotless and traditional room with ryokan, tasteful breakfast & welcoming people! The ladies at the breakfast were absolutely lovely 🩷! The people at the reception were very helpful and kind!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

The room was extremely comfortable and spacious. The beds were comfy, the bathroom was clean and the whole experience of staying at a Ryokan was fantastic. The staff was friendly and spoke excellent English. The food was great too! We booked a room with half-board and it was a very interesting experience to eat a traditional Japanese breakfast (on our second day they provided more western options as the difference in culinary was difficult to us, but I was glad I got to have the experience.) The dinner was superb, I am pretty the best food I ate in Japan. We booked the private onsen which was very interesting, clean and beautiful. We didn't try the public onsen as we were uncertain of how to behave in one, so it was great to use the private one. It was only 1000 yen per couple and the staff explained how to use the space really well. It was an excellent stay, I really felt that I managed to experience a more traditional side of Japana. Also, the hotel was only a short walk from the touristic spots. It was at the end of a hill, but not difficult at all to reach. And the hotel provides a pick up service from the train station.

The dinner is excellent and recommended .

Had to climb the slope, the building a bit old (lack of maintenance).

Far from crowds, private onsen is nice, staffs are friendly, food was generous serving. One of the staff offered me scoop to clear the snow on my car. Amazing view from the room where I get to see fireworks.

The traditional local experience, from the tatami rooms to the impeccable hospitality. Relaxing in natural hot springs with complete privacy was pure bliss. A perfect blend of comfort and authenticity.

Nothing!

The hotel was in an amazing location, near the beautiful Shiroyama Park, where Autumn foliage was amazing! The hotel was very cute and traditional (although a bit dated). We booked a private onsen and it was great for relaxing in a cold night! Also it was a five-ten minute walk from the main old streets which was very convenient and a ten minute drive from the station! All in all was a great stay!

They could renovate it a bit, as well as get a thicker mattress, currently is very thin so it is not very comfortable.

Very authentic, and cosy stay. Real experience of Japanese Ryokan. They have a beautiful public bath with an external bath. Very quiet in the morning. The dinner was very filling and good, fresh ingredients, same as the breakfast. Great helpful staff.

The location is amazing, the panoramic view of the city at night makes it special.

It wouldn't be fair to complain about stairs or futons, when they were the reason for going! If you are looking for an authentic experience, when you don't have much Japanese language and you are reasonably flexible, this is a perfect place.

We came here for the ryokan experience. We were not disappointed. For people in our 60s, the steps and stairs were the only major challenge, not to mention getting up and down off a futon on the floor! But this is part of the reason for going. The evening meal was extremely beautifully presented and also delicious. Breakfast was in the same vein. We paid 1,000 yen extra to use the private onsen, and it was worth it. We were helpfully supplied with an English set of instructions on correct etiquette for the bath. To arrange a pickup from the station uphill to the ryokan, the staff at the tourist center at the station were very helpful. It was easy to book the shuttle back down to downtown after our stay.

The buildings were looking a bit tired and could have done with some maintenance. That small touch would have made a real difference

Great location and wonderful view. A nice "authentic" stay

I loved the view and the Japanese-style rooms. The staff is very helpful, they show you the facilities and explain how to wear the yukata. We were able to book the private onsen at sunset and it was a great experience. I enjoyed tasting the Japanese breakfast, it was delicious and plentiful.

The hotel has aged quite a bit. It could definitely use a fresh coat of paint all over, but everything else about this hotel is great!

The hotel is on a little hill with a lovely view over Takayama! The staff is very kind and helpful and the rooms are exceptionally clean! The public bath is lovely! We reserved the private bath for 1000 yen. It is outdoors and we enjoyed it a lot! The best part of our stay was the food! We booked breakfast and dinner for 2 nights and every meal was exceptional! The staff very kindly explains every unknown dish to you and it was a great experience!

Being a traditional Japanese hotel the soundproofing is not amazing. On two mornings some noisy birds outdoors woke me up quite early.

A charming and dated ryokan yet affordable with an onsen. My room had a comfortable "balcony" with two chairs and a table, making the most comfortable traditional Japanese room I've stayed. The view over Takayama was great. The staff spoke sufficient English and the wifi worked fine. They serve good Japanese breakfast from 7:30 to 8:30. The Japanese dinner they offer is excellent, though somewhat expensive at 6050 yen. Private onsen for 40 minutes costs 1000 yen. Would definitely come again.
