Fantastic 5.0
My brothers and I just did this today. and it was so much fun! Tracey was the best! he gave us so much useful information and really took his time explaining and making sure everyone understood, and constantly checking on us to make sure we were having fun and enjoying our time, he was seriously the best and we would definitely be doing this again when we come back.

Great 4.0
pity the snow came late, hence it was more ice than snow. Also, the gradient is quite steep at certain parts of the beginners’ slope, hence not exactly considered a beginners’ slope.

Located right next to Takayama Station, it's extremely convenient. This time I stayed in a twin room, and the room was very large. The bathroom had a separate shower and toilet, and there was a washing machine, microwave, frying pan, and soup pot. You can buy Hida beef from a nearby supermarket and cook it. There's also a small balcony where you can dry clothes. Next time I come to Takayama, I will definitely stay here again.

everything is amazing! it was my first time in takayama and first time to try onsen and this hotel did not disappoint!! i love how convenient the place is! and if you want a private onsen experience this is the place. Our hotel room is clean and has everything you need! what i love is they provide pajama set so you can pack light. i promise to go back!! ❤️

Loved it and had a great experience! I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Takayama. It's very close to the station. I recommend walking along the railroad tracks from the Nohi Bus Center to avoid the traffic lights and easily reach the hotel. Renting the private onsen in the hotel for 45 minutes for 2000 yen is also a nice option, and they even provide two complimentary bottles of milk. The only minor drawback was that the hairdryer in the private onsen wasn't very powerful; the Salonia hairdryer in the room worked better for my long hair.

In my opinion, the hotel has a good location. Many things are within walking distance. The staff are very friendly. There is a large selection of different foods at the breakfast buffet (mainly Japanese with a few Western items). The onsen bath is the perfect place after a long day.

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.

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 entire place has the ambiance of a Japanese-style hot spring inn. The breakfast also includes a Japanese-style set meal. The hot spring is a small, outdoor one. Highly recommend coming here for a getaway!
Breakfast: Japanese-style set meal, this time we had dried and salted sweetfish.
