Very accommodating hosts. It was okay to arrive later for the check in, which was absolutely convenient for us. It was also possible to leave our luggage after check out. Everything went well. Would recommend to anyone going there

The staff was friendly, the room was big, the bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and lots of free parking. Just outside the city so it was great with a car, not sure if I'd love to walk here.

Loved it all! The bunk beds were comfy!

Lovely location just a little bit away from the bustle of the town. We took woke up to a Mountain View. The kitchen was pleasant! The staff were kind!

Liked it all

This was my second time at Sakura. It's a really fantastic place. Away from the city but within easy walking distance. All amenities, clean, great helpful staff, large well equipped kitchen common area. I'd definitely stay here again!

I liked it all!

I stayed at Sakura twice, both times excellent. The place is beautifully located in the trees yet not far from town. I was in single room first time, female dorm the second time. . The common area is large and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. A really nice vibe so people use the space. The rooms are all kept very clean, the beds were super comfortable, toilet and sink facilities separate for men and women, and on the same floor as rooms. Plenty of nice hot showers on ground/first floor as well as pay washer and dryer which I happily used! They have three different timed shuttles every morning to town to the train station. And last but not least the staff are great, around if needed, and very accommodating! I will definitely stay here again if I return to Takayama.

Meeting people in the kitchen was my favorite part of the Property. Also, they rent bicycles and it’s easy to get around town on a bicycle. And the location was just wonderful even on a rainy day. We had the historic village right next to us so we could make the most of a rainy day.

What a charming guest house, easy location from the train station, grocery stores and the historic Village. I met some cool travelers in the kitchen of this guest house. It’s a very cozy property very welcoming atmosphere.

Beautiful location - slightly away from the main town yet only 15 mins of Bus ride plus the FREE SHUTTLE services at certain times!!

The owner was so nice to us. They have a common space with a stove which made the room and our heart worm:)

Very spacious and nice. The communal kitchen is huge with lots of tables to hang around in or eat a meal. The beds were comfy with a table and heat/aircon in the room. Laundry space with room to hang dry clothes. There are flyers and coupons on events/places to visit in Takayama at reception. The free shuttle to downtown made the location worth it. A nice walk to Hida no Sato. Lockers available in the room. Umbrellas available to use for free.

What a lovely place and lovely owner. There is a shuttlebus in the morning for free, which is so nice. They also make coffee in the morning and make sure there is hot water for tea. A fire was lit in the afternoon. Also they can tell you a lot about the town. It’s a bit further out town (20 min walk) but next to the open museum. Beds were comfy and you could adjust the (2!) heaters :) would def come again!

Wonderful hostel with nice staff. I had a great stay here and it worked perfectly with my Takayama plans. It was initially about a 20 minute walk from the train. But there is much to explore around the hostel - Hida no Sato village which I highly recommend everyone to visit is only 10 minute walk. I also found a cat shelter, Denver park (dedicated to Denver, CO which as an American I thought was really cool!) a brewery and several nice restaurants nearby. The staff realizes that people dont want to walk 20min back into town so they offer a shuttle service in the morning to take you to the train to either travel on or explore the wonderful town of Takayama. No complaints about the facilities- room was warm, bed comfy, nice shower. Thank you for an enjoyable stay in Takayama!
