There could have been more towels

Food was exceptionally good, and great value

This hotel is not very close to other restaurants Not a bad thing, just an important FYI- If you want to eat breakfast or dinner at the hotel, you need to let them know well before the meal. They asked us about breakfast at check in, and we booked dinner the night before.

This is a great traditional Japanese hotel. The onsen is very nice with a cute (though small) outdoor area and a bunch of showers. Our room was on the second floor so we had a bathroom and sink on our floor, then bathed in the onsens downstairs. The dinner here is incredible!!! You get to wear your Japanese robe and they serve an amazing variety of delicious Japanese foods! Definitely plan a dinner here. This hotel is walking distance to the Hida Folk Village, which was perfect.

The location is not ideal if you’re without a car, the last bus to the city is around 17:00. The staff was not very attentive when asked for help and didn’t really cared for us.

It was basic and okay. We only booked it because it was the only place available during the Takayama festival. Onsen was pleasant with outside bath that fit one person.

It was close to Hida museum, but a bit of a trek into town each time, if you didn’t get the bus timings right.

Staff were really nice, little English, but still clear and helpful. Food was great for both breakfast and dinner. Basically had the onsen to myself to experience and added to the stay.

Amazing onsen.

We loved the traditional Japanese Ryokan with onsen

Stayed in July 2024

We stayed here for 1 night during the Takayama Spring Festival , it was one of the few hotels with a room available during this very busy time in Takayama. Turned out to be a great stay. A short walk to Hilda Folk Village. A traditional ryokan with onsen which we tried for the first time and enjoyed the experience. We caught the bus from the city centre to get there. They provided a free shuttle back into Takayama the next morning.

- we really enjoyed the accommodation but one needs to know it is a bit far from Takayama town centre (about 30 minutes walking) and there aren’t many restaurants around it. Maybe better to book the diner when one doesn’t want to walk back to town in the evening!

- lovely traditional Japanese guesthouse - it was great to experience a traditional Japanese breakfast - the guesthouse is very close to the Hida Folk museum which is really worth a visit - we enjoyed the onsen (although note the public bath is the only bathroom option, no single showers). - the family was kind enough to drive us back to the station in the morning!

I loved the authentic feel of this place. It wasn’t downtown, therefore it wasn’t walking distance to everything. But for one night stay in town, it was perfect. We arrived into town at 5pm and took a taxi for 1000y to the property. They were waiting for us and dinner was ready. We enjoyed the onsen and went to bed. We woke up in the morning and started our day at the folk Hida Village, which is a 3mins walk. Then we took the bus into town and spent the entire day in town and then left on an evening train. After spending several nights in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto in busy places. The calm, serene feeling was a nice change of scenery.

A bit out of the way - 30min walk from the station and not really accessible after hours unless you’re willing to walk

Clean and spacious

The room has fume smell because the entire facility is heated by gas

A bit out of the way of everything.

Great staff and meals. Nice and quiet location.

Nothing

The typical Japanese style and the staff who was very nice

Stayed in August 2023

Outside onsen was sort of small, and somewhat less warm than would be ideal.

Excellent value for money. Staff was very nice, room was great, the only downside is the shared bathroom. Onsen was nice to have, breakfast was quite good, location is great for the Hida Folk Village but slightly suboptimal for Takayama proper - but better than most in the area, anyway.

Onsen was great!

Great ryokan with clean rooms and beautiful onsen. The staff were very kind and the food was exquisite, whether breakfast or dinner. Slightly far by foot from the station but there is a local bus that stops accross the street. Very good value for money, highly recommended.

Outdoor bath temperature was too hot

Good cheap stay for 2 nights. If you have a car this is a good place to stay but it is far out of town for those without a car. The rooms were simple and we paid to have dinner/breakfast there. The bath was good however the outdoor bath was way too hot to use. Overall it was a good stay.

A long walk to the bus stop. Very hard especially with kids and luggages. No shuttle service going to and fro the JR station.

Very clean place. Love the dinner and breakfast they prepared. Very friendly staff also.

A lack of basics, such as towels.

Friendly and helpful staff

Very good dinner and breakfast, allthough it was a little hard for us to seat on the flour with low tables. We used the onsen as well.

Stayed in April 2024

Since the arrival to the Ryokan, the staff was friendly and kind. The place was magic and beautiful, and make you feel part of the traditional japanese culture. The room was very big, bright and nice. The onsen was relaxing and helped us to release the tireness from our trip. The dinner and breakfast were delicious and impressed us with their beautiful presentation. We highly recomend this ryokan which will make you live a unique experience!
