Fantastic 5.0
Rating this maybe 4.5/5. Location is 650meters from Takayama sta. No building also in front of their hotel so the view was good. Staff was accommodating. Smooth check-in. Room was spacious enough, with table and chair. Free water, reading area, and complete amenities in the lobby.

Location was superb, being right next to the train station, which was why I booked it. The public foot bath on the top floor was also very welcome, especially as I had just come in from Kamikochi. 6 mins walk away is Cafe Rin-Rin, a mom and pop cafe that felt like you were stepping back in time, and served delicious french toast. The room was comfortable and good-sized for a solo traveller, and the washing machine was a godsend. The only thing that was very annoying was the lamp sitting over the small table, as I kept hitting my head on it. It was at a very inconvenient spot and height.

Fantastic 5.0
Booked YR by accident but was pleasantly surprised by what we saw and experienced. Though a bit far from Takayama station, a 1.5km ¥100 15 min bus ride or a 25-30 min walk, we entered into a spacious, new and beautifully designed room. The room was squeaky clean and smelled fresh, just like newly washed and ironed clothes. It had 2 queen sized beds and a kitchen. There was always a fresh supply of towels and 2L of mineral water. It's our 2nd trip to Takayama and Yutoria Resort made it very pleasant and unforgettable. Looking forward to a another visit and stay in YR. Thank you very much Yutoria Resort!!

I've stayed here many times. It's always clean. This time I got a slightly older room, but it was still good. Breakfast is included, and there's ramen available late at night. You can use the private onsen without a reservation; if the sign is available, you can enter right away. Just flip the sign on the door to 'occupied' when you're using it, and then flip it back to 'available' after you're done.

The hotel's location is excellent, just about two or three minutes from Takayama Station. There's also a large supermarket about a 5-minute walk away. The room is spacious, and the refrigerator comes with complimentary beer, soda, a large bottle of mineral water, and a large bottle of sake, all free to enjoy. A kitchen is provided, but there are few cooking utensils, and while there's a non-stick pan, it has many scratches. I heard you can exchange it for a new one at the front desk. The room also has a washer-dryer, and two complimentary laundry pods are provided, which is great!

The hotel is very good. The room is spacious with a private onsen and separate air conditioning. Parking costs a small fee. There's a welcome drink of beer or orange juice. Breakfast is good and standard. It's quite far from the train station and the city, but it's peaceful.

Fantastic 5.0
The location is extremely close to the JR station and the Nohi Bus terminal, making it ideal for those taking buses to and from Nagoya or even visiting Kamikochi. The hotel is also about a 5 to 10-minute walk from the main street and the Takayama Old Town, and walking in the other direction leads to a large supermarket for shopping. The hotel's large public bath is relatively simple. I found the self-service luggage racks and lockers to be a very thoughtful touch, which can be used freely both before check-in and after check-out. The overall hotel design is modern, charming, yet refined, with cozy amenities, good tea and coffee, and comfortable beds. Overall, this is a highly recommended place to stay.
