This hotel was recommended by a friend, and we really had a fantastic stay! It’s located right across from the bus station, which was super convenient for us. We are a family of three and stayed in a twin room. I didn’t take any photos, but the pictures posted online are exactly how it looks in real life. The room was very spacious. There’s a washer and dryer, which was very convenient, and a fridge with free drinking water. You can also get free coffee, matcha, and chocolate drink in the lobby. There’s even a kitchenette where you can cook inside the room. The toilet and bathroom are a good size, and there’s also a small balcony. Overall, it’s very comfortable and in a convenient location. I highly recommend this place. We’ll definitely stay here again if we ever go back to Takayama.

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.

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!

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.

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

It is relatively easy to walk and find the hotel within 8-10mins from Nakatsugawa station. you will walk pass a 7-eleven on the way, good to pick up some essentials first (I bought water although the room provided a kettle but no bottled water). The hotel has a no shoes policy so choose a shoe locker when you come in. the onsen is small-ish (indoor only) but it's ok, provides the usual amenities plus 2 coin operated washing machines (2 more on level 2). overall it's a very quiet hotel, a little dark on my floor but nice background music. it also serves a light supper - rice with dashi broth and condiments - very yummy! breakfast was ok quite enjoyed it. there's also free coffee all day (pretty decent). the staff were warm and friendly. there are good restaurants near the hotel literally 1 - 3mins walk.

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!! ❤️
