The beds were really comfortable. I also enjoyed the capsule style rooms. It felt quite private with the curtain closed. After a chilly day outside, the hostel itself was an all around cozy place to come back to. It also had a really convenient location near the station, a convenience store, and some restaurants.

There were not many toilets or showers. If the place had been fully booked that might have been a problem.

With the exception of here I stayed in large hotels elsewhere in Japan. This was simpler, more of a hostel, and less facilities. However, the appeal of this place was its ambience, helpful staff, an attractive and comfy lounge where you were with other travellers, and a kitchen (which I used only for drinks and cold food, free tea/coffee). The room was traditional Japenese with tatami mats and futon, a novelty for me and which I liked, and good en suite shower room. Short walk from station and town centre. Good heating in room.

I stayed with the family at K's House Takayama Oasis for my last vacation trip to Japan and I would rate this Hostel amongst the best hostels I've been around. Location is superb, rooms are cozy (small but cozy), facilities (kitchen, common areas and laundry) are great and employees are excellent. I would definitively consider this location for a trip in Japan. It was so good that I would even consider changing some of my other hotels and hostels around Japan to facilities part of the K's network.

Hard to say what I don't like as our experience was great. Maybe a couple of chairs more in the rooftop?

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The entire staff was exceptionally warm and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages guests to relax and enjoy the common areas—always accompanied by pleasant background music. In our case, we spent our last two afternoons working on our laptops, and the Wi-Fi worked reliably. The kitchen is well-equipped, organized, and clean. It even includes a cookbook with traditional recipes that are easy to prepare—we tried two of them and absolutely loved the results. They also offer a self-service laundry and drying area, which is incredibly convenient. Our room was comfortable, clean, and spacious enough for the two of us. While there are signs reminding guests of quiet hours, unfortunately, not everyone respects them. Perhaps a bit more emphasis could be placed on this aspect, though we understand it can be difficult to enforce. Overall, every detail seems thoughtfully designed to make the stay easy and enjoyable for everyone. The reception staff speaks English, and there’s plenty of helpful information available about the city, nearby areas, activities, and restaurant recommendations. The staff is also happy to assist with any questions. If we return to Takayama in the future, we would not hesitate to stay here again. ありがとうございます

We stayed for two nights at K's House Takayama Oasis and really enjoyed our time there! The rooms were clean and the shared bathroom well equipped, the common room really comfortable and we loved to spend the evening on one of their couches with a cup of tea from the shared kitchen. But what is really exceptional at K's House Takayama Oasis is the staff: I forgot my Kindle ebook reader and they send it to my next stay at Tokyo and even communicated with the staff there. I am so thankful for your help and for the time I spend in your house in Takayama!

Nothing - we had a wonderful stay :)

K house was a lovely cosy hostel but we booked the private double room so we got the best of both worlds - the room was just perfect for what we needed giving a traditional Japanese feel but with European beds and our own bathroom. The staff were very helpful and it’s in an easy accessible location. Just be mindful as with a lot of places in Japan there are stairs that you will need to take your luggage up to and then you can use the lift to your room. The shared kitchen area was lovely to sit in also. Great value for money.

There was nothing I didn’t like about the property.

The staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. Common area is very clean and comfortable, kitchen is well stocked and free (good) coffee in the morning is a definite bonus. Room (private) is clean and well proportioned with a decent bathroom.

The hotel staff and location were exceptional. The staff was attentive and friendly, always available to answer our questions. We were also able to leave our suitcases at the hotel. The location is very central, just a short distance from the station, yet situated on a quiet street. Our room was quite spacious, the largest we experienced in Japan. The common areas, including the kitchen and living room, were consistently clean and accessible. It was a nice surprise to be offered laundry service since we stayed for more than three nights. We celebrated New Year's Eve there, and they even provided sake for us to toast with. It was truly lovely! Thank you very much!

The room's acoustics were not very good. We were situated next to the lift, and the noisy family next door didn’t help us have quiet nights. Despite this, we still loved the place and would be happy to come back.

The location is good, about 3-5min walk to the Takayama train station. The kitchen and lounge area are open 24/7. You can use the laundry facilities (washing and drying) for 500 yen each time. There is a small elevator to help bring the luggages up to your floor (which can be a god-send) but the reception is at level 2 so you will still need to carry the luggages up one level first. Staff are friendly and most of the facilities are well thought of.

The pillow is really flat (for me). We had the double bunk bed room with private bathroom and the room is a little small for us (but typical of Japanese hostel/hotel).

Fantastic place to stay for the price. 2 minutes walk from the train station and bus terminal for day trips (the whole of Takayama is easily walkable). Amenities far surpassed expectations – pantry (free coffee and tea), washroom, beds. free bicycle and umbrella rental. They even have a shoe dryer machine near the roof. Their dryer was one of the rare ones that dried my clothes properly without shrinking them (big ask from most hostels xd) Staff were accommodating and friendly, giving good recommendations and the most up to date info. Would definitely like to stay here again when I'm back in Takayama.
