We loved this traditional Japanese accommodation close to Takayama train station and all of Takayama's sightseeing spots. The traditional tatami room we had was spacious, clean and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. The onsen facilities were wonderful too. The staff were extremely gracious and polite.

We loved everything about this place. I only had the misfortune of sharing the onsen once with two other unruly guests who spoilt my onsen experience. It was unfortunate but absolutely not the hotel's fault. Two other guests decided to enter the onsen bath without first washing themselves. Then threw buckets of water from the hot bath out all over the floor area, screaming and shouting like it was hilarious. It was the most obnoxious behaviour I had the displeasure to endure. Please fellow travellers, educate yourselves on the etiquette and traditions of the country to which you're travelling to and be respectful and mindful of other guests, and have consideration for other people's property.

This was my favorite ryokan I stayed at during my trip. I stayed during the winter so the first thing I noticed was how comfortably warm the common area was compared to other ryokans I stayed in that were quite cold. The rooms were very cozy, and I appreciated the private sink and toilet. The location was also great. There are many food options in the area. It was only about a 7 minute walk from the JR station, 10 minute walk from the morning market, and about a 12 minute walk from the old town area. If I visit Takayama again, I would like to stay here again

Really inexpensive considering the size of the room and location to major attractions. Sure, there are hotels that are closer but I enjoyed being away from all the tourists. Room smelled kind of funky and had what looked like water damage which worried me a bit; you sort of got used to the smell. Beds were amazingly comfortable and the Japanese style bath was a nice bonus. I’m happy they had an AC because the room got seriously stuffy after having been out all day. Staff was really personable and knew my name and had written in down before my arrival. Nice touch!

Facilities - A beautiful old building, the outside is charming and has a picturesque entrance. The layout is convenient and it is clean and well maintained. Rooms - the room we stayed in had a tatami floors but western style beds raised off the floor (only by a few centimetres). It had a small tv which only had local tv on it. The room is beautiful, with paper window shutters and sliding paper doors. There was a toilet inside and a basin in the entrance. Bath - the highlight. The bath is clean, and is perfect to come back to after a day of sightseeing. Staff - didn’t have much interaction, but the receptionists were extremely polite, as is standard for hotels in Japan, and the older gentlemen who showed us to the rooms was extremely helpful and polite. He brought our suitcases up in the service lift so we didn’t have to lug them up the stairs. Location - perfect, barely a 5 minute walk from the station, and another 5 minutes to the historic streets. Plenty of restaurants and shopping around.

The only negatives are to do with the buildings age, however it is to be expected. Some of the cabinets were looking worse for wear, and the doors to my room and bathroom were loose. The floors were also very creaky in a few places, especially the toilet, however there isn’t much to be done there. The showers are public, however I think most tourists, if it is their first time, will find it completely amenable after any preliminary discomfort.

A traditional Ryokan near the Takayama station, many restaurants and 10 min walk to the old town which makes it very convenient. The room was spacious and clean and the staff were very helpful and friendly, the common area gave you the japanese vibe you’re looking for in a place like Takayama, they have Onsen (Public Baths) but I did not use it, would stay there again.

The pillows were a little uncomfortable which made me wake up to adjust them a few times during sleep, but nothing major, staff didn’t speak English but they were always happy and patient to use translation apps

We arrived in a stormy day after Typhoon Kong-rey and the old lady took an umbrella and showed us where to park our car for free! Thereafter she even carried one of our luggage up a flight of stairs to our room! Wow! What hospitality! The ryokan is old but very well maintained. We have ample space to house 3 adults and the bathroom was kept very clean. It is also situated very close to Miyagawa morning market (a 5 minute stroll). The main shopping area is a 10 minute stroll and a good selection of Hida beef outlets. We will return to this ryokan if we travel to Takayama again!

Nothing

Very traditional guest room with tatami floor, comfy futons, and even yukata to wear while you stay. The heater and bathtub were perfect with the cold weather and made for a very cosy experience. The staff were also quite friendly and they even write your name on the board out front which is a nice touch. The location is great too, easy to walk there from the train station and not far from the main town either. Highly recommend over a standard hotel, the place has a real charm to it and was one of the highlights of my trip.

The rooms were spacious and spotless. Futons were one of the most comfortable that we have ever slept in. Staff were incredibly friendly. The onsen was good and very clean. We used the onsen about 6am and 8pm and it was completely empty, felt like we were the only ones (both male and female)! They were remarkable and a great experience. Location was perfect (5 mins to train / bus station) and super close to various restaurants, temples and other attractions. We would definitely return to stay here in our future stay at Takayama!

Nothing at all

This stay was one of my favorites during our trip to Japan. What made it so special was the attention to detail from the people at the reception. When we arrived, it was so cute to see our names on the banners outside to welcome us. I appreciated that, even though I have many tattoos covering my body, they allowed me to participate in the hot baths. They were very attentive and always present to anything we needed (umbrellas, adaptors for electrical sockets, extra towels, etc.). The location was close to everything, and since we did not have a car, it helped us a lot with getting around the area. When we checked out, they were so kind that they kept our bags till our next bus left in the afternoon. We spent only two nights here, but next time we wish to stay longer! Thank you for all.

Can't think of anything negative.

This is a real japanese style hotel, different from the other buildings around, from the street you wouldn't guess it's there, between all the other houses. It's small, it consists in the building itself and a small garden/entrance area that you can see in the picture - and that's it, there's nothing else. It's very old, I don't think it has ever seen a renovation of any sort (everything seems to be from the begining, the room phone is actually that one with the wheel!).There is an onsen inside the building. It seems to be a family bussiness, and owners very nice and present all the time.
