The only “negative” was the wear and tear. It’s obviously a very old hotel which does not bother me because it’s still impeccably clean.

Staff was insanely friendly (despite us not speaking the same language). Amazing deal for what you pay— especially considering its proximity to the train and bus station. Public bath was very relaxing at the end of day and allowed me in despite my extensive tattoos. Super clean!!!!! I saw the staff vacuuming the BATH HOUSE!!!

Old school vibe with all the service needed

They were no hook in the bathroom for the towels and we didn't were to put them after the shower.

It was a very good experience, to sleep in an old, traditional ryokan. The included access to the public bath was a good surprise as well. The staff was super friendly and quickly responded to all our requests.

Some of the electronics didn't seem to work as good. The toilet also had some troubles but all in all good enough for our stay.

The room was spacious. It looked very cozy.

Great location, just a couple of minutes from Takayama train station. Traditional ryokan with modern amenities. Staff very friendly and attentive. Within walking distance from key sights and restaurants.

Accommodation in general needs a bit of refurbishment. Stains on ceiling in the bathroom area at the entrance of the room. The common bathroom and "Onzen" didn't open at the usual time the day we stayed, but only at 6 pm. Unfortunately we only found out about this after picking up our room key at 3pm. The plastic bathroom area doesn't match with the rest of the traditional interior

Very spacious room with traditional decor, nice entrance area and outside area near main door. Very well situated in the centre and near train and bus station. Very nice and welcoming staff. There were complimentary snacks, tea, soup provided in the room. They write your name in a board outside upon your arrival and you leave your shoes on a shoe rack in the entrance area where you change into slippers.

Excellent quiet hotel. We stayed 2 nights there and they were nice to keep our luggage before and after the check-in and check-out time. The staff was super helpful and nice. Location is also great, very close to the train and bus station. Highly recommended!

Communication on where to park the car wasn't particularly clear prior to arrival. I had to run in to the reception while the driver was doubled-parked outside. The staff member encountered was kind and walked up to the parking area a few driveways along with us, but I feel it would have been better to know this ahead of time when I asked.

Our one night stay was comfortable and relaxing. The ryokan is a little dated, but this is somewhat part of the charm and you couldn't ask for more for the price. It is centrally located, with all the main sights and eateries within walking distance and our room was very quiet. The onsen lacked some ambience but it was fine for the one night, and I mostly had it to myself. On the whole, everything was clean, comfortable and we felt welcomed. Free parking near the property is a bonus.

Very central for exploring Takayama. Friendly and helpful staff. Worth noting that staff let me use the communal bathing facilities with a tattoo which was very kind (posters say not allowed). Would highly recommend this gem.

Very clean and very friendly staff. Location to walk to the main street was great.

The only caviat I have is that I was expecting a tradional Ryokan (a big wooden japanese house) and was met with a building that has a wooden front and reception, so you can call it a "modern Ryokan" but it didnt ruin the experience

The beds are super confortable, the rooms are spacious and clean and it has nice ammenities they put some croissant on your room everyday and water bottles and the onsen is grear

The walls might be a little thin, because I could sometimes hear other guests, but mainly if they had kids who were being loud.

It's very close to the train station, about 10 minutes of walking. The staff members are very polite and speak a decent amount of English, enough to understand what they mean, at least. The rooms are nice, enough space for me. The public bath was also quite nice, shampoo, body soap and conditioner is included, towels too. I also really liked that they write your name on the board outside the hotel entrance.

To get 10 they should pay attention to details on cleaning service, but globally it's a super recommended place!

Great ryokan in Takayama, very close to the historical centre, small but nice bath, room booked was great, spacious and well furbished. A really enjoyable experience!

It's a very nice ryokan, we enjoyed our stay there very much. It's a little bit retro, but it's very clean and provides all necessary amenities. The staff is super nice and helpful.

A little hidden gem located only a 5 minute walk from the train/bus station and 10 minutes to the main sights of Takayama. Loved the traditional style of room and the fact guests names were included on a welcome board out the front of the hotel. Lots of great ramen restaurants and izakayas within a few minutes walk.

It's a pretty old building and has a very interesting smell. The public bath didn't have the best atmosphere.

The location was great, we had our name on the front wall to welcome us. The public bath allowed tattoos without stickers (I have too many to cover up).

A fantastic place to stay. The rooms were ‘traditional’ Japanese style, and really peaceful. Really nicely arranged with a little seating area. Comfy beds. Most of the time, I was the only one in the onsen. Very handy location. Staff were lovely.

Stayed in June 2025

The room was spacious and it was lovely. I loved how it was decorated. The staff were waiting for us, the whole experience was very personalized: my name was in the shoe locker and at the entrance. I highly recommend the location as well: close to the terminal and is also central. Takayama is a lovely place!

Take your own black tea if you prefer it over green tea.

Single sex onsen was clean and hot. Apart from the handbasin in the room the onsen has the only shower facilities. I never had more than one other person there and mostly had it to myself. Lovely traditional room.
