The village is in a beautiful spot and the ryokan felt very nice. The room was spacious and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both really tasty and big, with great beef that just melted in the mouth. The hot springs were also very good, and since there weren’t many people we could try all the private baths without any problem. I’d be happy to come back here again

Nothing!

We felt right at home in Yunohirakan. The rooms were comfortable, and the very quiet location as well as the height allowed us to sleep comfortably with the windows open. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And we especially loved the evening meals which were delicious!

The showers are public but we knew this and enjoyed the onsen baths.

Perfect for us! We loved the stay as a family, though it probably helped that my wife speaks Japanese. The service was top notch, and the meals were absolutely perfect - a fantastic overall ryokan experience for us.

Everything was Amazing The rooms, food and the onsen. We arrived right at the check in time to make use of the onsen as much as possible. The location is amazing and i would definitely recommend the dinner and breakfast. The staff was amazing.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were great and very informative about the location and transport options etc. An absolute must stay if you are near the area. The food was incredible for breakfast and dinner, very traditional and gorgeous meat. The private baths are the best we went in, the fact they are private is a massive plus. We had the best time here; thank you to all the staff! It is also really close to the bus station to get to the Kamikochi Valley.

The onsen could use better cleanning and or maintenance. It was completely our fault not to check in advance but it is quite far from Takayama (1h) and the buses run only about an hour apart so we really had to plan our arrival very well not to miss dinner or the bus back to Takayama the next day.

Gorgeous tradicional japanese room. Every detail is taken into account. Tha food for dinner was absolutely the best and worth all the money we payed! Outstanding dinner, served with local products and all the Hida beef you can eat! Breakfast was delicious as well. The room has a toilet and basinet but for showering you have to use the onsen ones. I would have stayed here a couple more nights to explore the area better.

Everything all good. Make sure you arrive after 3pm and before 6pm to be able to get in the property and ready for dinner.

The dinner and the breakfast and the private natural onsen (hot spring), unbelievably awesome

Can’t think of anything

The rooms are incredibly clean, there is a private outdoor onsen for all guests to use without extra charge, we got meal as well and it was a hugeeee delicious meal. Also there is free parking- so if you are planning to go to kamikochi- park here and walk to the bus terminal!

The futon were not the most comfortable we slept on during our trip to Japan.

Several public and private baths to try, both indoor and outdoor. In a few of them the water could be very hot and perhaps a little difficult to handle, but that's probably part of the experience:) Fantastic dinner!

I love everything about our stay in Yunohirakan. The hot bath was wonderful. We loved the outdoor baths looking out the little forest covered in snow. Room was large and comfy. The dinner was amazing. Hida beef was delicious. The breakfast was also tasty. The service was also great. They were very welcoming and kind to us. It feels more personal and private here than other bigger ryokans. Such a lovely memorable experience for us in Japan.

The futons were a little hard but that is to be expected & worth the traditional Japanese experience

Such a perfect stay - we were blown away. The place is in a very beautiful onsen village in a quiet part of Japan. Super easy to get to from Takayama & to visit Kamikochi. The owners were so kind & accomodating. We had a huge traditional bedroom complete with futon, tea & kimono. Private outdoor onsens we could use as a couple. The food was absolutely incredible. Soooo much love & thought went into every course. It was the best meal of the trip. Thank you so much for having us!

Beds were a little hard, but most likely due to us not used to sleeping on tatami mats

The meals were excellent and the onsens amazing

We arrived late and they would not serve us the dinner that we had paid for. This would only be served between 6pm and 6.30pm. This would not have been a problem except that we were still charged for it. They did not suggest alternatives. We found a lovely local ramen bar which was fine. The futons are extremely thin and hard. Pillows are traditional and made from grains.

Location excellent. Hot baths excellent. Very clean. Traditional.

Absolutely stunning private onsen, really magical and beautiful. The food was outstanding and there was so much of it.

The inn is slightly too in from the main road but still very convenient and near the hirayu bus terminal.

The inn is not crowded. We manage to try out all the private bath without having to reserve or book. Some private baths are tad small for more than 1 person to get in but the view to the nature is good. The inn is also very clean and dont feel run down or old at all. Things are relatively new . The food is also good and serve a ridiculous big portion of meat hida beef.

Nothing, only that it is a bit difficult to walk on the Icing road from bus stop to Ryokan.

The private Onsen with nature(outdoor). And the dinner as well as staff.

Stayed in January 2025

The indoor onsens were SUPER hot. If I’m not mistaken, we were told that the onsen temperature ranges from 74-98(??) Celsius My husband and I went to the indoor gender segregated onsen on the first night and felt very ill immediately after with high fever and chills/rigors. It was a pity because the outdoor private onsens looked so cozy but we didn’t get to enjoy it :( The outdoor public onsens were of a more comfortable temperature and the water felt really smooth on the skin Luckily our heat injury resolved after a day of paracetamol and hydration The futons were pretty thin too so we had some trouble sleeping, but it’s also probably because we were running 40 degree fevers ahaha so everything was uncomfortable

Beautiful and cozy ryokan at Hirayu Onsen, about a 45 min drive from Takayama. The kaiseki dinner was AMAZING. They really loaded us up with good quality, buttery hida Beef grilled over a charcoal irori. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the dinner - a lovingly prepared multi course meal with grilled veggies and beef, soba noodles, tempura, sashimi, dessert. It’s a very local place for many Japanese tourists - most of the signs, menus were all in Japanese so we had some trouble with translation. Staff were lovely and helpful!

The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable I wish I stayed for one more night.

- There’s no private shower room inside the room, so if you want to take a shower, you need to go the public bath on the first floor only - No elevator from parking floor to the lobby. I went there with a large luggage so i need to carried it up the stairs with a heavy weight.

The staffs are so friendly. I got a warm welcome like I stay with Japanese family. They did every things such as receptionist at a lobby, serving the foods, making the bed. There’s not much people around so you can feel peacefully and pretty private. - Dinner and breakfast was so good and a lot of foods came including hida beef. There are 3 private onsen rooms, men and women public bathroom with indoor and outdoor onsen - Good location and have private parking
