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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
