Very confortable hotel with good size rooms, welcoming and helpful staff. Shuttle between hotel and Takayama was very convenient. We appreciated the complimentary drink and ramen.

The breakfast has a variety of choices. Snacks are served at 8 pm nightly . Staff are very friendly and helpful, typical of Japanese. The location is perfect if you drive , an hour or more to shirakawago, shinhotaka ropeway. You start off early, these places will not be too crowded . Lots of parking lots at the property . Opposite is the Family Mart. If you are short of cash , there is an ATM machine opposite too. A quiet location . Yukata is provided for rental for use. The bath towel is a little too thin. Finally , free shuttle bus is provided to go to and fro the property to town centre . This place is a good place to explore everywhere in takayama town since shuttle bus is provided .

The bath towel is a little too thin .

The location was 3km from the railway station and 2km from the old town. Sidewalks from there were at places nearly non-existant - but it was most nice and scenic transit, several tasteful temples fringed hills on the way. And a shuttle bus was available, on hourly basis, as I later discovered. And this happened to be the place of my first onsen, after two weeks in Japan. Small but comfy rooms. Soundproof, absolutely no noise. A mart across the street.

80 euros for a really small room... perhaps value was not 100% there, but then again, this was Takayama and semi-high season, and connsidering the upsides, I'd recommend this place.

We wanted a hotel with parking and allowing a quick get away into the mountains. This was perfect. They provide shuttle buses, cheap parking in town and a really efficient breakfast process. Only 1 night but we loved it. Didn't have time to use the baths. Staff were super helpful when we realised the down pillows were triggering my wife's asthma. They do have non allergenic so ensure you ask for them. Thanks for a super visit

No restaurant but A Family Mart over the road and microwave etc in the hotel. It was chucking it down so going into town wasn't really an option

The location was great. we had a car and were able to drive into town some times but took advantage of the shuttle very often. The onsen was very nice. Free drink and snack late at night hit the spot several times. Breakfast buffet was offered and we took advantage of it one morning. It was very good and had a variety of foods. The remainder of the time, we found small coffee shops in Takayama before starting our day.

The size of the room was a little confining but the listing was very clear about the size. It just didn't register with me. It was a very nice and cozy room and was at very good rate.

Great place to relax, on the outskirts of town, surrounded by mountains, little stream and shrines nearby, convenience store right in front of the hotel. Staff is kind and humble. Room is clean, comfortable, size is okay. Hotel has a charming atmosphere, they even have a spa. Breakfast has great selection with local specialties. Charter bus runs between the hotel and Takayama station numerous times each day.

I specifically picked Tabino for its location that's a bit on the outskirts of Takayama downtown where things are even more laid back. It's situated where the hills start as sort of an entryway towards the mountainous regions. We didn't drive but it will have been ideal if we did since there seem to be some scenic ways to explore not very far around. Hiked a couple nice hills nearby that led to some shrines on some somewhat steep unmaintained trails. The walk to town is nice as well but Tabino also would shuttle to and from town for free on a schedule, and there are also public bus lines. I'd suggest to rent their bikes which we never had time to do. It's a lovely place to stay and will do so again.

What's not to like? Family Mart right on front for budget snacks that are quite tasty. Walking distance to nature. Friendly staff.

Great hotel on the outskirts of Takayama. Staff was very friendly and helpful to us, even though many other guests were quite rude and annoying... Rooms were clean and comfortable but a bit too small, nearly no space for our luggage (we've put it below our bed). Shuttle service is free and is right across the street when you go out of Takayama Station.

The location on the outskirts kinda limits the possibility to stay in the city and experience night life, maybe some night shuttlebus around 12pm could be useful?

This was a clean, quiet room with a stream flowing past. We had the window open to listen to the water. The hotel had a shuttle that would you downtown so you didn’t have to figure out local buses. They also gave each of us a voucher that we could use for a drink or snack at the restaurant. For other snacks, there was a convenience store just across the way. They had a satellite store near the station that held our bags on the last day, giving us freedom to spend more time in town. They also had onsen available. We didn’t end up using it, so I can’t comment on that.

Without the shuttle it would be a bit far out from the main part of town. The last shuttle was around 8:30 pm, if I remember correctly. I don’t think the local buses would have been difficult though.

Our room faced the river, which was lovely. The staff was great. Breakfast was very good. The onsen is amazing, also with river views. They also had complimentary drinks during a Happy Hour, and a small bowl of ramen or ice cream also offered.

We had two single beds, which was weird since we're a couple. We just pushed them together. The location is quite far from central Takayama, but they have a complimentary shuttle, which is great. Otherwise, you can take a taxi, but they're expensive in Japan. No ride-share options.
