Fantastic 5.0
Our tour guide, Liu Mei, and our Brazilian-Japanese driver took us on a day trip today to Hida Takayama, and then to Shirakawa-go. We are incredibly grateful to Ms. Liu and the driver because when we spontaneously asked to visit a museum in Hida, they showed the utmost consideration and helped us make it happen. This has truly been the most memorable experience of our trip to Japan so far. The guide was clear, and the driver drove very safely, making every effort to ensure everyone was comfortable throughout the journey. We also learned a lot, thank you! We highly recommend this day trip; my wife loved it too :))

What a fantastic experience! This was my first time joining a Klook day tour abroad. The night before the trip, seeing the pre-departure instructions sent by the tour guide via email made me feel much more at ease. Throughout the journey, our guide, Mr. Wang, fluently introduced the attractions and provided various reminders to travelers in Chinese, English, and Japanese. He was very professional! The entire itinerary ran very smoothly, and the timing was perfectly managed. Although Shirakawa-go in the summer doesn't have its classic snow-covered scenery, the lush green landscape offers a different kind of beauty.

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.

Good location with many restaurants and eateries nearby. It is also an easy walk to the central tourist area. The hotel is located three to five minutes from the Takayama JR Station and bus station, so it is convenient for you to get around. The staff is friendly, the room is clean, and breakfast variety is fantastic! They also offer daily supper, either sweet or savory, for the guests. There is also onsen (public bath) in the hotel.

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!

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.

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.
