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.

Very well located hostel, just a few minutes walk from the bus & train station. We were greeted by a very helpful English host who was able to provide us with useful information about what to see in the area. Our room was a private double room with bathroom: simply furnished but quite comfortable. There was a common lounge area and kitchen with fridges to store your own food, cooking and eating utensils and free coffee and tea from 7 am.

The access from the street is up stairs, which was not a problem for us, but may be an issue if you have heavy luggage. We found the price to be somewhat expensive for this style of accommodation, in comparison to another hotel where we stayed in Kanazawa.

Very conveniently located, immaculately clean accommodation with a fully stocked kitchen and charming communal area. Little local cultural items decorate the entire place. Elevator for hotel proper, but since checkin and reception is on the second floor, you still have to navigate some stairs every time you go in and out of the hotel. Plugs and lights conveniently positioned for each bed.

The bunk beds for our room were positioned oddly so it was a little inconvenient to access one of the bottom bunk beds, but we found that we could move the ladders out of the way to make space. There were also no surfaces in our particular room (two bunk beds) to put things down on or sit at.

Among the 6 hotels and hostels we stayed at during our 9-day Central Japan trip, my family and I agree that the best accommodation so far was K's House! Checking in was quick and their front desk staff were very kind. They allowed us to leave our luggages until the check-in time while we sped off discovering Takayama. It's just a 5-min walk to Takayama Station and Nohi Bus Center. Our room and the ensuite T&B were very clean, very spacious and so comfortable. They have a cute elevator (from front desk to guest rooms) for travelers like us with big luggages. Their shared kitchen and living space were so great with everything you need! We saved a lot on meals since we were able to prepare our own food. Their rooftop is an added facility you should not miss to have a good view of the surrounding neighborhood. My teens loved this! Can't tell enough how much we loved K's House! Takayama is one place we really admired. And if we ever get the chance to visit again, we will definitely choose K's House again and again! Thank you very much for your accommodation. Your place is now part of our core memories!

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

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?

Very easy and convenient due to the great location next to the station. Nice and clean common areas with table to eat, sofas and good size kitchen. The bed was also comfortable.

Not a hug problem but the storage space we get is not big enough to put a cabin luggage in and the space to open your luggage is not very big in the room. As most hostels in Japan it seems, there is no real vibe to meet other people or just have some random chat - everyone minds their own business.

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.
