Fantastic 5.0
A very charming hotel, even from the outside, and it's right next to the Takayama train and bus station. Also, at the entrance, there are small hot springs that everyone can use to soak their feet. You have to take off your shoes to walk around the hotel, as the floor is tatami. The room was very beautiful and spacious, especially considering the size of hotel rooms in Japan. The staff helped us send our luggage to our next hotel and were very friendly. There is a public onsen, but also a private one. There is usually a long line to use the three private ones, but it's worth it for the experience. We loved it and it's a wonderful option for people with tattoos.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Takayama Station. You can walk to the Showa-era Takayama Old Town in 10 minutes, and then go to the Miyagawa Morning Market the next day. The rooms are large and well-equipped, and the kitchen supplies and washer/dryer are convenient!

Nice, clean hotel in a great location next to the station. The staff are friendly, hardworking, and very helpful! The room was a good size, and I really appreciated having our own washing machine. Breakfast was a little busy/chaotic though.

Very close to the JR Takayama & Nohi Bus Terminal. There’s a Family Mart below. Facility is a bit old but still clean.

This stay was absolutely amazing, I have to give it a full five stars! The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to get around. The room was clean and tidy, with great natural light, and the mattress was just the right firmness, making for a very comfortable sleep. The service staff were friendly and courteous, and check-in and check-out were quick and efficient, with great attention to detail. The overall environment was quiet and comfortable, with comprehensive facilities and excellent hygiene. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time, and I sincerely recommend it to everyone!
