Convenient location; nearby many restaurants, just a few minutes walk away from JR/Nohi Bus station, coin laundry, convenience stores, Old Town and Markets. Traditional experience, after walking around all day a soak in the onsen was perfect!! Free wifi was easy to connect to and had good speed. Our room was tidied daily and amenities were restocked. Host waited at the door to see us off after we checked out on the last day

Sound can carry so you have to be a little quiet. No elevators obviously so if you've got heavy luggage there's a chance you may have to lift it up to their top floor (3 floors). And the toilet/bathroom is LITERALLY shared. Like, not a shower you lock behind yourself, but a strip down (possibly with others) and bathe in a gender communal area. It's really no big deal in Japan, but just an fyi to those who might not be expecting.

We loved the location. It was close to many attractions, restaurants and the train station. The owner and staff were very kind and accommodating especially when we saw the daunting two flights of stairs. We are in our late 70's and after a long day of traveling they offered to bring our bags up and down. The breakfasts were amazing. Traditional Japanese!

The stairs and the Western room is very small but comfortable.

A lovely homely place with a sweet owner. You can choose between a little more modern lodging with the western rooms with their own bathroom or have the traditional tatami room with a futon. The toilet and bath are up to date. I loved sinking into the onsen.

Everything was good

Traditional and good experience overall. The onsen experience is interesting, but they are small (according to the hotel size). Rooms are ok, we stayed for 3 nights and it was enjoyable. Recommend minshuku if you are looking for a Japanese experience in a Japanese traditional area.

We liked everything very much. Traditional small cosy room in Japanese style, simple but absolutely sufficient. Great location within walking distance of everything important. And a nice onsen available. Great communication with a very nice hostess :)

The futons and covers were thick and extremely comfortable. We were in a traditional room so we appreciated the curtains to block the lights coming from the shōjis. The staff was very nice and helpful, they agreed to keep our luggages for the day when we arrived too early for the check-in and when we left after the check-out. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful time at Minshuku Kuwataniya! The location is perfect to discover Takayama by foot, there are lots of restaurants and shops nearby, the rooms and shared bathrooms are really clean, the hostess is very kind and speaks great English!

This was an authentic Japanese ryokan. The hosts were welcoming. The room was spacious and comfortable. We loved the tea service setup in our room. The location was perfect.

It would be nice if they offered some rolls or something small for breakfast.

Very nice traditional Japanese hotel with tatami floor. The staff was very friendly, the place clean and the location perfect, not far from the train station. Another positive thing, there is an onsen that you can use.

Nothing.

Good location close to railway station. Lots of small restaurants close by. Within walking distance of the main sights. Nice onsen. Fairly basic hotel but excellent for the price

No breakfast available.
