8MileSix months later, I returned to Takayama and stayed at this hotel for the second time. The service quality felt just as excellent as it did during my visit in February. Every staff member was incredibly friendly. The breakfast included a chocolate croissant that was absolutely delicious – I highly recommend trying it. Takayama in summer is so different from winter, but the warm feeling this small town gives me hasn't changed. I'm still touched. See you next time.

Guest UserThis hotel is super convenient for solo travelers, being close to both the train and bus stations. The room was incredibly clean and surprisingly spacious for a standard room in Japan – we could easily fit two large suitcases! The hotel's location is also great, close to popular attractions and restaurants.

The hotel is very close to JR Takayama Station. After exiting the station, you don't need to cross the road; just turn right towards Tokyu Stay, and you'll find it after passing Ajikura Tengoku. The hotel's decor is very unique. We booked a corner triple room, so the space was incredibly spacious and comfortable. Besides drip coffee and tea bags, the room also provided bottled mineral water. There's an open-air bath on the 9th floor – simply flawless. Before my trip, I read many reviews recommending Hida beef, but to my dismay, I discovered Ajikura Tengoku was closed when I arrived (ugh!). Luckily, I quickly found Maruaki, a famous Hida beef restaurant open year-round. The beef was incredibly rich and fatty – you'll definitely fall in love with Hida beef! I'm already planning to come back next year! 😋

Anonymous UserRight next to the high-speed train station, it's incredibly convenient for transportation, and there are plenty of amenities nearby. The Miyagawa Morning Market is also close by, making daily shopping easy. Plus, the local hot springs are abundant and offer beautiful scenery. You can also enjoy complimentary ramen and Yakult drinks.

PriscillaThongA very big ryokan with many different baths, private and public. The western style room we chose was spacious and comfortable. The outdoor is great for pictures taking.
The dining room although not private gives option of dining with a window view or otherwise. My hubby left his wallet behind but the honest staff ran after him to return! A Big Thank You & kudos to honest staff 🙏❤️.

Guest UserEverything was great, good location, excellent value for money. It's located across from the river where Ukai (cormorant fishing) takes place, about a 15-minute walk from the boarding point. The breakfast was delicious.

richie03I stayed for 5 nights, and first of all, the price is very reasonable for a backpacker hostel. Check-in is done online: you choose your language, scan your passport, and have a f2f call with the staff via an iPad. FYI, there is a mandatory accommodation tax in Japan of 100 yen per night. You can also request a paid ”Irori” service at a nearby sister branch, where you can grill your own ingredients over a traditional Japanese sunken hearth. Just a reminder: you can get fresh ingredients from the nearby market ”Family Store Satoh” or further away at ”Surugaya Asumo.”
The common area isn't huge, and the kitchen is basic but functional with tableware, an electric kettle, ovens, a microwave, and a mini fridge. The tap water is drinkable; the mixer tap can be toggled to adjust the temperature, so you won't get a chill from the ice cold water in winter! 😂 In the back, there are a toilet, three shower stalls, and communal sinks, along with a washing machine and dryer that are free to use (you just need to buy detergent from the capsule machine or bring your own)
Since it's a hostel, the dorms have top and bottom bunks. The bunks are quite spacious and come with two power outlets (remember your travel adapter!), an overhead locker (bring your own padlock), a towel, and two hooks. You have to make your own bed; it's a futon-style setup where you lay the linens on the mattress. A pillow and duvet are provided. During winter, they run the AC (split system) on heat mode to keep it cozy. In the room, there’s a luggage storage area and hanging rods for clothes. On the second floor where I stayed, there are two toilets in the room: one with a urinal and another unisex one with a smart bidet/washlet.
To be honest, while it's very close to the Miyagawa Morning Market, it feels a bit far from the Nohi Bus Center and JR Station. If you don't like walking or tire easily, this might be a bit of a challenge.
Overall, it's a great, affordable choice for backpackers😗

4oxxThe biggest advantage of this hotel is its incredibly convenient location, practically a 2-minute walk from the JR station. It's especially ideal for anyone needing to use JR trains. From the room, you can directly see the station and trains, which is a real treat for train enthusiasts. The hotel provides washing machines and dryers; you can even leave the washing machine running while you're out. However, a full wash and dry cycle takes quite a while, about three hours, so it's best to plan accordingly. The in-room amenities are also impressive, with a ReFa showerhead and hairdryer, offering a pleasant experience. The hotel offers free luggage storage, which is convenient both before check-in and after check-out. For shared facilities, there's a public bath on the 2nd floor, and a free foot bath on the top floor. There are also private hot spring rooms available for 2750 yen for 45 minutes if you prefer a quieter bathing experience. One thing to note is that the room windows have a screen-style design, so remember to draw the inner curtains at night, otherwise, it can get quite bright in the morning. Overall, this hotel's location, facilities, and attention to detail make it very suitable for short trips, especially for those who enjoy taking JR trains or have an interest in them.

KiryushazMagnificent stay at a natural onsen village. The most brilliant Ryokan you can imagine. Built at the beginning of the 20th century and renovated, all locations inside are beautiful and Instagrammable. Spent an anniversary here with my wife and had the best impressions of the whole trip. The Kaiseki dinner was above our expectations. The waitress explained everything, and we got a true cultural experience.

The hotel views were great, but the outdoor mixed-gender onsen wasn't as good without snow in winter. The food was average, not as amazing as I'd hoped. The outdoor hot spring was a bit small; it would be hard to enjoy if there were many people. We ran into a ********* tour group, but thankfully we managed to go at different times. However, it was very thoughtful of them to call our room at 9 AM to save us breakfast, as we missed it going to the outdoor hot springs early. I'm very grateful for that.
