Amazing onsen hotel, very spacious japanese room. Onsen is open from 12:00 and is great. Staff speaks some english, some only japanese. The hotel is in the mountains, check the weather in advance if coming by car, we got (light) snow and it was a challenging ride

I booked the only breakfast option and got the western cheap breakfast instead of the fancy japanese one you get if you book half board

Magnificent dinner and breakfast, tgreat variety of Japanese dishes all prepared and presented with great care. Spacious room and facilities.

Onsen was very good but lacked the charm of other locations we have seen. For example, protruding pipes delivering hot spring water were described as a waterfall and the perimiters of the outdoor section were bounded by fences beyond which were visible the car park and other back drive sections of the hotel. Also, while in the setting of mountains, forests and river, a lot of industrial work in the area detracted from the natural beauty.

The baths are exceptional, there is also a large mixed bath. The staff is very professional, helpful and kind, the ladies at the meal services so nice and fun. English is spoken at the front desk and by staff of different countries. Everyone does their best so we have a great stay. One employee even took us to the morning market by car. The food was excellent, we ate in private rooms. The very convenient bus stop to TAKAYAMA. The area around the hotel is very beautiful The hotel is clean , comfortable, everything works well like wifi etc… We would definitely come back if in the area.

Nothing

The hotel located in very good environment surrounded with mountain view. Me and my family had such a great time during stay, the staff are very nice to our family, even they're not good in English. We booked the room with half-board ( dinner + breakfast included) For dinner the hotel set the private room for each family, the food was beyond our expectation!! the old woman who served us are very polite and so kind to the kids. I feel so sorry that on the next morning we went for the breakfast late about 30min. because my misunderstood I thought it was gonna be like buffet breakfast, but I was wrong the breakfast was set up at the same room as dinner and the time for both dinner and breakfast must be booked so the staff will set up the room and table. As I told you we were late for breakfast about 30min. the staff was waiting at the front door of dining room and the food were set up on the table already, I felt so guilty , and I must apologize to the staff , there were waiting for us patiently . After we finished the breakfast I apologized to them. The staff said "Daijobu desu" with the smiling face and kind voice. Thank you for prepare such a great and wonderful service to us. By the way I will definitely come back to stay here again for you sure If I have a chance to go to Takayama.

1. Definitely value for money. Although the price isn't cheap, the nice onsen, immensely elaborate dinner and breakfast, and the wonderful room more than made up for the price. 2. It was in a beautiful location overlooking a river with hills nearby. 3. The bus from Takayama stops directly in front of the hotel. 4. I could visit the onsen as many times as I liked, and it was very enjoyable. They had both indoor and outdoor onsens. 5. The dinner was a literal feast, and the breakfast was a mini feast. The food exceeded all my expectations. 6. The room was very large by Japanese standards. 7. The view from the balcony was breathtakingly beautiful. 8. The futon bed was comfortable.

Nothing at all.

The hotel is in a nice valley, all rooms have a balcony, the Japanese style rooms are nice and comfortable. All the staff were very nice and helpful. We had half board, dinner and breakfast were excellent. The waitress at the dinner didn't speak English, but she was very nice and tried to explain everything with the help of a translator. The biggest advantage of the hotel is the onsen, an amazing experience, outdoor and indoor part.

There wasn't anything negative. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

My friends and I road-tripped through a lot of Japan, and we had almost a week of Onsens. The Onsen here was the best. The dinning experience was also so fantastic. This was our favorite dinning experience we had. Not to say the food was the best we'd eaten, it was good, but the experience was what made it. Our hostess treated us very well and at times I almost felt bad to be served by an older lady, but I think that was perhaps cultural difference.

Nothing at the top of my mind.

Very nice hotel , with the best Onsen I visited during my trip in Japan. Great experience for traditional japanesse breakfast and dinner, both were very tasty. We stayed 2 night, and they gave us different menus each day. And the onsen is amazing, many different hot bathtabs options with hot water with minerals. And there is even a an outdoor onsen where both men and women can be together (both covering with a tower in this area)

The hotel installations in general are old, specially the room, but they work ok

Easy to find. Good outdoor onsen, good breakfast and dinner, helpful waitresses, and comfortable room.

One senior staff at the counter wasn’t helpful and the junior staff, especially the foreign ones, were so scared of him. However, the chubby manager came to our rescue; he is very helpful. I didn’t get his name, so sorry for this. One of the outdoor pool wasn’t working; no reason given.

Beautiful onsen, with the option of mixed onsen (after you pass the male/female onsen only there is a room with the appropriate clothing to be worn in the mixed onsen area). Staff is the best, food experience was great, room was spacious and very clean. Perfect to relax one day with family. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that departs from Takayama, and you can take the same bus on your way back (~70minutes) that departures at every 2 hours. There are other bus routes options more frequently but it will require a 10-ish minutes walk.

Fish tanks in the property need more attention. The fishes seemed stressed ☹️
