Wonderful hotel! Very spacious, great amenities inside the room (especially the large water provided in the fridge), central location to the city area, attractions and the train station. Also, the front desk gal was SO incredibly sweet- she was super helpful with all my questions. Highly recommend!

Nohi Bus at Shirakawa-go will often add extra buses to accommodate passengers, so don't worry if there are too many people. Just be mindful of the available seating times for the non-reserved buses.

Extra buses are always available on the Shirakawa-go route, so you don't have to worry about not being able to board. Just make sure you confirm the time. Scan the barcode to board the bus.

Located near Takayama Station, it's a good place for children to experience a traditional Japanese Inn atmosphere. The wooden furniture doesn't provide the best soundproofing, but it's acceptable. Suitable for families or larger groups.
