Hotels in Takayama

The hotel had no ramp nor elevator to move our luggage from the entrance up to the lobby level and again from our rooms on the 3rd floor, we had to lug them up and down the stairs. The toilet did not have a towel for us to dry our hands as the rail was held up by masking tape. The ceiling had discoloured patches damaged by leaks. Things were really old and not well upkeep. I will not want to return...

Very cosy ryokan, room was slightly dusty but quickly cleared up with the air purifier provided, the toilet was quite small for me but manageable. I liked the location and the decor, although the building seemed a little bit old compared to other ryokans in the area, it was still very well maintained.

Very nice hotel with wonderful onsens. Rooms were spacious and clean, and had incredible views! I would suggest that the hotel change the carpets in the hallways. They have previous water damage and should be replaced.

A nice charming onsen. We were a bit worried with some negative comments, but the place is authentic and although a bit old, is well maintained. The outdoor onsen is top! I cannot talk about the food, we didn’t try.

Resort is close to the mountain. The weather is so nice. There was snow fall during our visit. The owner of hotel is so nice. We just didn't like the bath room and accessories in the room. It's too old

Simple onsen hotel with all the necessary amenities. Just a short walk to the bus station.

Breakfast was just some simple bread; I was expecting something more, but there was nothing. The facilities are a bit old, no, they're quite old. Why is it so bad???

A small but clean hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast includes coffee, bread, boiled eggs, and soup. The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of the old town, yet in a quieter area. It's near Hida Kokubunji Temple, home to the giant Gingko tree. The price is excellent.

It's very close to the station, making travel very convenient. There's also a temple nearby.

Although the hotel is a bit old, the rooms are still quite clean and more spacious than typical business hotels. It's about a 10-minute walk from Takayama Station, and there are many restaurants nearby, making it quite convenient.

Perfect little hotel at a walkable distance from both the town center and the train station. Good service, cozy room, clean and convenient.

The room exceeded my expectations. It was listed as 9 square meters when I booked, but after checking in, I could easily fit two 26-inch suitcases without hindering movement. Although the hotel is a bit old, it was very clean and the service was quite warm. The breakfast was a simple buffet, but enough to fill you up. The hotel also offers free bicycle rentals. Kokubunji Temple is located next to the...

Me and my fiance stayed for 2 nights. We did not bring our dogs, but enjoyed the stay very much! Both the breakfast buffet and the dinner was tasty and varied. The private onsen was also nice and the staff were very friendly to us. We took the bus for hiking, which was no problem Would definitely recommend for any dog lovers!

We took japanese style bedroom but the futons were super thin so uncomfortable. The private onsen was a bit smelly making the experience less enjoyable. For the travel to reach the place, we struggle little to go by bus. For the positive, the staff was amazing and helpful, the breakfast has lot of varieties for everyone. The room was super clean, spacious and very beautiful. Spending time with dogs...

we travelled without a dog and it was fine, no smell or anything. but maybe the carpet isnt the best choice of floor with so many dogs😅 we just spent the night as it was convenient from the location for hiking, the room was quite old but okay. the staff was very friendly. the public onsen was not nice, it had a weird smell and we did not use it,

The hotel is located in nature in the mountains, it’s easy to find. This hotel is specialized in guests with dogs. Everything is focused on dogs. It’s quite an authentic, old hotel. All rooms have balconies with the view and sound of the small river and a lot of trees. In some areas it may smell a bit like dogs, but if you love pets, you wouldnt mind. The room was spacious, but don’t expect things...

This is a pet friendly hotel 🐶 You can bring your dog or cat to stay. There is a private outdoor onsen pool or you can bring your pet to soak in the onsen. There are many types of rooms to choose from, such as a stone pool or a hinoki wood pool. The staff were very helpful even though they couldn't communicate in English. Dinner is a dinner course served in sequence. Breakfast has a variety of Japanese...

It's a comfortable environment where only dog ​​lovers gather, and we are very satisfied with the attentive staff. It's a little disappointing that the bath is in a separate building and you have to go outside to get there! There was more snow than we expected, so we couldn't go for a walk, and we'd definitely like to visit in the summer next time! Thank you very much.

The room was spacious and had a jacuzzi, which was a big plus. The staff were excellent and very attentive. Both breakfast and dinner were great, with a nice sense of occasion. The food tasted pretty good too. Definitely worth a visit!

Great location but everything was very dated, the TV, western sofa set, even the car that drove us to the train station. We stayed in a room with an indoor onset which we enjoyed. The kaiseki and breakfast was very good.

Hida-Takayama Onsen Hotel is top-tier among all the onsen hotels I've stayed at in Japan. It's incredibly clean, ideally located very close to Takayama's main attractions, and just a short walk from Takayama Station.

The best Japanese hotel I've ever stayed in. The service was excellent. The young waitress who checked us in was incredibly patient, taking a lot of time to explain everything and provide information in Chinese. She was incredibly responsive to all our requests and very knowledgeable. Truly commendable. The hotel itself was comfortable and clean, and the food was superb. The kaiseki meal was meticulously...

Service is incredibly considerate, foods are delicate. Before we set off, the hotel would send a enquiry email to understand our needs, and they offer the pick up service if they are available.

The best ryokan experience I’ve ever had. The service was truly top-end, with warm, attentive, and professional staff who made the stay feel special from start to finish. The room was beautifully designed and extremely comfortable, the food was exceptional, and the onsen was peaceful and perfectly maintained. Every detail was thoughtfully done, making the entire experience both relaxing and memorable...

Outdoor onsen with unforgettable wonderful experience! Must visit during winter season! Love it♥️

Its great me& my friend enjoyed our stay here so much especially their spa's its natural.. coming fr; the surrounding mountain.. looking forward of coming back in this Hotel..

This hotel boasts an excellent location, right near the Shinhotaka Ropeway and directly across from the Black Bear Zoo. It's a fantastic value-for-money onsen hotel. Waking up, you're greeted with beautiful river and mountain views right outside the window, and there's a waterfall just a short walk from the hotel. They have numerous hot spring baths, and the mixed-gender bath is also great. The absolute...

The accommodation is close to Hira Onsen and has several hot springs, separated for men and women, plus a mixed-gender pool where you can wear clothes. The onsen is excellent and the food is delicious.

location a bit far. otherwise all good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This accommodation is really great! The shared onsen allows you to wear the provided cloth, which is perfect for shy people. However, some bathers do walk around naked briefly. The only downside is that not all bus lines pass by, so you have to check the routes carefully.

Pros: convenient location. Just a few minutes walk to the main Hirayu bus station. Very clean, Very friendly staff. Decent size onsen (indoor and outdoor). Outdoor onsen temperature was perfect. Unfortunately Indoor too hot to use. Green tea served was excellent quality. Food quantity and variety was good. Room was spacious. Cons: Some dinner dishes were too salty. Indoor onsen temperature much too...

The room was a bit old. There was a noticeable tear in the wallpaper near the baseboard. The tatami mat was peeling slightly, leaving small debris on my socks when I walked around. The faucet in my room operated in the opposite way to what I'm used to, making it a bit awkward to use. I noticed a faint smell of machine oil in the hotel's elevator. Compared to other onsen hotels, the lobby on the first...

Hirayu Onsen Hirata-kan Stay Review 📍Location: Conveniently located within Hirayu Onsen village, easily walkable from Hirayu Onsen Station. Restaurants and convenience stores are also readily accessible nearby. 🍱Meals: - Dinner and breakfast are typical Japanese kaiseki-style meals. The ingredients are fresh and the selection is abundant. The local Hida beef dishes were particularly outstanding...

Very satisfied with the room, and it even has a private hot spring inside.

Place is nice, a bit old but well maintained. in the dinner and breakfast plenty of things to try, but I missed a bit of explanation or a paper in enlight with the dishes, as you ar enot familiar and at the same time you want to know more about the disches!

Great location right just 5 mintue walk from the bus station. Hotspring and dinner are great.

Clean. Public bath. Far from everything. No breakfast and no diner available.

Really nice Ryokan! Room was clean, breakfast and dinner was really delicious and I love the Onsen!

My room was spacious and spotless. My window looked out toward the beautiful Japanese Alps, nice to wake up to! I would highly recommend booking the meal plans for both dinners and breakfasts... the inn is a bit of a walk from town (very do-able), but it was so nice to eat right there, and the meals were just fantastic! Staff is great, the baths are wonderful... would stay there again.

Close to Hida Village, too far from everything else. Only h

A charming place to stay just outside Takayama. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay.

The staff were incredibly friendly and always smiling. The place was spotless, and we appreciated that yukata were provided for everyone to wear to the baths. No private showers were available (they're currently under renovation), but the onsens were absolutely fantastic and separated for men and women. Unbeatable value for money! 😉

We enjoyed the peaceful stay at the Ryokan and the liked the quiet surroundings. The private open air onsen was fabulous. The morning walks in the woods behind the Ryokan was great. This was followed by the sumptuous breakfast provided by the Ryokan to start our day of walking the trails which are nearby.

I made a reservation on the day. The front desk staff were friendly and the building was clean and nice.

Surrounded by greenery, with a superb outdoor onsen. Impeccable service, spacious room. All toiletries and bathroom accessories are provided at reception.

There are several great things about this ryokan 1) Best of all is the hida beef kaiseki dinner - its truly hida beef (they displayed certifications and it taste different from normal beef) in great quantity per person - which also in turn makes the ryokan cost very economical 2) Location is easily accessible by both public transport and if you are driving they have ample parking space 3) A lot...

Our stay at Ryokan Gizan was a truly memorable experience. This is a traditionally built and decorated Japanese ryokan, with tatami floors, sliding doors, and an authentic atmosphere that makes you feel fully immersed in Japanese culture. It’s definitely a “must-visit” if you’re looking to experience traditional Japanese accommodation — even a short stay of 2–3 nights is enough to make it special....

Everything was verygood. Facilities are well maintained but could usee some upgrades. Food were good to very good-Staffs are excellent. Our wish is at least one english speaking channel on TV. Thanks the Owner and staffs for our good time

Our family of four enjoyed our one night stay at Ryokan Seiryu during our trip to Takayama in September. Staff members were super friendly and helpful - we felt very welcomed from the moment we stepped into the ryokan. Our room was generously sized and very clean. The dinner and breakfast were one of our highlights of the stay - especially the Hida beef! My daughters and I have enjoyed the onsen very...

We really enjoyed our stay at the traditional Ryokan Seiryu! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating and you feel that they really go out of their way to give you the best experience possible. Our dinner with the famous Hida beef was delicious, the onsen bath (we only used the in-house one) was very good and the breakfast (we chose the Japanese option) was also fantastic. I would give 6 out of 5...

My friends and I stayed here for two nights and we had a wonderful time. The staff was very helpful and the meals were all delicious. The private onsen is great for a few people but if it's full the staff will give you a free entry pass for a larger one a few minute's walk away. Plus, the location is great for getting to/from the station and to the morning markets. Staying in a ryokan is something...

My partner and I stayed for 2 nights, and as westerners staying in a traditional Japanese room, we found the experience challenging, but I am very glad I chose to do it here. The service and staff are sensational and cannot be faulted in any way. If you stay here the Japanese set menu for dinner is an absolute must do. Both nights we were treated to the most exceptional dining experience I have ever...

My family of five loved staying here. Very kind people. Food was excellent.

Overall, this place is a good place to stay. It is very close to the city, so the location is 5 stars. Walkable you everything we wanted to do! The food is good, I would say 4 stars for the food. Authentic, good local, high quality dishes. We enjoyed eating in our rooms together, it was very romantic for a couple. The service for meals was incredibly variable. One night we had wonderful service ...

A very calm and high quality Ryokan. We stayed for two nights in a traditional Japanese room, which I wasn’t looking forward to but really enjoyed. The futon matresses (make sure you use 2) were very comfortable and the simplicity of the room was very characterful. However access to comfy chairs would be appreciated. We loved the meals in the private dining room. There were four of us and we enjoyed...

English not spoken. It was very difficult to communicate with the front desk. Fortunately, we had a fabulous attendant, “Sana.” Food, even on the “western” menu was primarily fish and tofu. That’s ok if it’s your first night, but frankly, I am Sick of raw fish. The ryokan was pretty well located relative to other activities. Transportation access was good. In short, the food variety made our visit...

Wow, Hidatei Hanougi may have been our best stay in over a month traveling Japan, and we've been to some nice places. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. In this case, that starts with the greeting you receive on arrival and just keeps going. Our Japanese style room was huge with private onsen and zen garden. The public onsens are spacious and extremely well-appointed, including one set...

Charming ryokan in north Takayama a good walk from the old town area. Our room had a private courtyard with onsen - great for relaxing at the end of a day of exploring. Several restaurants - we ate breakfast there. Remember to take your shoes off in the entry and use the slippers!

The hotel is located in the Takayama area and is a standard Japanese hotel. , The hotel has a batch of koi fish, which are amazingly expensive. [Kaisaki dinner] with Hida beef shabu-shabu is of high standard, a standard Kyoto cuisine, with high-quality ingredients, delicious taste, and exquisite utensils. Mizuda beef is well-deserved and worth a try.

The fourth and best ryokan we have ever visited in Japan. We had an own hot bath in the private garden, and the room was very spacious. As we stayed two nights we had two dinners and breakfasts. Our first dinner was kaiseki and second shobu-shobu. Both were excellent. We tried both Japanese and Western breakfast, so my advice is to choose Japanese, as it was great, but Western just good. This ryokan...

It was amazing for the price. The spacious open-air bath was also great. However, the wifi reception was poor and cut out frequently.

I went there for a day trip. It was evening, or rather night, but the lobby was spacious and there was a restaurant inside, so I was able to relax. It was called a hot spring, but it seemed to be a simple alkaline mineral spring. There was also a sauna inside. The open-air baths had cypress and ceramic baths, but they were small, so I felt they were not very usable when it was crowded. The open-air...

10 minutes drive from central Takayama. I stayed one night and enjoyed real onsen. The price was reasonable and I was offered free breakfast .

I had an amazing experience staying here. The rooms are well equipped with all basic amenities. Food is very good. Further, they have one of the best onsens in Japan. Variety of vending machines can be found inside. Worth a stay!!

Cherry trees here do blossom two times a year!! (One in Autumn, and the other in Spring as usual..)

Free shuttle from the Takayama train station. The outdoor hot spring baths were so relaxing. Two individual tubs and one shared bath. The lounge area in the locker rooms had recliners to relax on which was nice while I awaited for my shuttle.

Very nice traditional stay Excellent dinner

Beautiful private bath, owner very helpful and polite

Excellent! Mr Murayama and his family fantastics Fantastic stay, nice Ryokan and excellent service. Owners very kind

Great stay! Cosy Ryokan with extremely friendly service.

The hotel is very good, my family is very satisfied and likes it very much. First, it is very down-to-earth, second, I like the simplicity of the hotel, third, the owner is very nice, and finally, it is very close to Hida no Sato (Folk Village), just a few minutes walk away. It was a very happy experience:) By the way, you can order breakfast, there are two options of Japanese and European, the price...

This Ryokan is set out of town in a nice quiet area. Easy walk to the teddy bear museum, a cat Sanctuary that you can visit and the Hida Folk Village. Close to bus stop if you want to travel outside of the free shuttle bus times. The staff are very friendly and helpful. On our second morning (the owner) noticed that I was limping badly. Whilst having breakfast she very kindly came and gave me some...

We visited on the second day of a two-night trip to Kamikochi and Mount Norikura. The food was served in a private room, and the male staff were very attentive. The menu was a delightful kaiseki course. The salt-grilled sweetfish was farmed, but even as a sweetfish fisherman, I found it to be comparable to wild-caught sweetfish, perfectly cooked and paired perfectly with the vinegared watercress. I...

The facility is quite old, but is well-constructed. The lobby on the first floor has a very relaxing atmosphere, and I really enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the morning. The room was very spacious, and the food at both breakfast and dinner was delicious. It was mostly self-service, probably because privacy is respected, but the staff were all friendly and I enjoyed chatting with them. I visited...

It would be better if there is a locker facility at the hot spring changing area. & high cost performance~

A memorable inn. I used it for a trip for two girls in the cold season. I was able to relax in my room and it was delicious at night and in the morning. The Yukimi bath and the digging kotatsu are the best. When I had dinner, I said that the one who carried me had a fireworks display, so I rushed to the bus and participated in the winter fireworks display. I would definitely like to go to stay again...

Beautiful and quaint onsen Ryokan located in a small town near the snow capped mountains. The hosts and owners are amazing people, the elderly female host came outside to greet us as we pulled in to the car park with the car in the freezing winter! Showed us to our rooms and helped us settle in. In the following morning the other hosts greeted us at the lobby and ushered us to the dining hall which...

A beautiful and welcoming traditional Ryokan run by a friendly Japanese staff. My wife and I considered this one of our best accommodation experiences we ever had! The service was incredible, with attention to every single detail (the owner ran around looking for an umbrella to give us because it was raining outside). The kaiseki meal was amazing too - delicious and authentic! The onsen's view overlooking...

I had a great time with my family in the great outdoors. The starry sky was amazing. It was cool in the mornings and evenings, so we didn't need air conditioning.

Poor interior decoration, dilapidated

We stayed for a night with three kids, my mom and my sister + my husband last month (July 2021). After visiting the Shirakawa go, we planned to go to a nearby river but it suddenly rained so hard so we decided to check in. It was 38 degrees when we had lunch at Shirakawa go, in this resort, it was 16 degrees after it rained. No need for an AC in the summer. And this alone was worth the trip up the...

It was the best cottage I've ever stayed at. The furniture was like a hotel and had a luxurious feel. It's a pity that the only TV is not connected to YouTube at all. I stayed at GW, but it's cold enough to heat up at night. But at night, the stars looked very beautiful. There is also a forest walk course, so if you are lucky you can meet animals. I met a raccoon dog while taking a walk. Amenity included...

Beautiful water in the outdoor pool

Rustic feeling cottages. Old but clean and nice. Some bugs but it’s in the wilderness. So that’s perfectly normal. Nothing bothersome. Very nice place to stay and explore the region.

Excellent apartment in the heart of Takayama. It is an easy 5 minute walk with luggage from the train station. Quick and easy to reserve with excellent communication throughout the booking process. Unit was easy to find and well marked. Key Box and codes were given in advance and correct. The unit had 2 bedrooms. The front bedroom has 3 beds and its own air conditioner. The second bedroom off...

This place is very nice. It was included in the package I went on today. The room is amazing with a massage chair to relax in and the room is fully stocked. Plus free spa I get to go use. Plus it was fun to see a little of the surrounding town and get some local goodies. 😁✌️

Very friendly and helpful staff! They were incredibly kind and gave us lots of good information about the hotel and town (in very good English). They had lots of recommendations and even offered to set up reservations. They checked times of restaurants and such since they may have been different because of COVID and the holiday season. The room was a nice size and very clean. Came with all the amenities...

The hotel is very close to the JR station and the bus station only 180 metres. The staff were friendly, smiley and good at English who could help my stay more enjoyable. In the room, there is a massage chair which released the tense from my walking. I also loved the Nespresso machine in the room. The pyjamas were soft and comfy as the bed. The hotel also provided the smart phone with free call all...

The service at this hotel is friendly and efficient. The staff have a little English but communication was never a problem. They have a ‘hole in the wall’ car park which was a novelty for us but worked like a charm. We chose a twin room and it was spacious and well appointed. The breakfast had plenty of Western and Japanese choices and was perfectly adequate. It is about 10 minutes walk to the historic...

Excellent hotel. The room was very smartly designed and spotless. The bathroom was very contemporary and had glass walls that made the room seem even larger. Breakfast buffet was terrific. The spa for ladies had 3 whirlpool/jacuzzi tubs at onsen temperatures. Good location.

Very good location. Near to Takayama Station. However, bad experience with the tatami bed bug bites. The low table with heated blanket had bad smell. Suggest hotel to do a better clean for these items in the room.

It’s a very nice place, 3mins walk from Nohi bus station. Very aesthetic Japanese layout, each room are themed with different Japanese cultures. The staffs are also very friendly and helpful and can’t complaint about the level of service.

The Wi-Fi was terrible; there was none in the room initially. They fixed it later, and I got two bars of signal, but it was still poor. There's no hot spring here; what they call a hot spring is just tap water. The bedding was awful; I got bitten all over and felt very itchy, and the duvet cover kept coming off the comforter. This price is just not worth it; my child's skin was red and itchy from bites

Superb location, and I truly appreciated the ryokan’s omotenashi hospitality.

Wonderful hotel with wonderful staff and private onsen!

Very good experience. Great location, staff was helpful and free flow sake at the night

Friendly people. Location was near the old district of Takayama, not that close to the station.

Room is a bit dirty and rundown

The hotel is decent, but the room is a bit cramped for three adults. There's no room for luggage. The shared bathroom has a hot tub. The shared kitchen has everything you need: a kettle, tea, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

Great hotel :) The owner was very welcoming and kind, made us feel right at home. The room is spacious and clean. The onsen was relaxing. The dinning area was clean quite and with a nice view! A bit outdated, but still very well maintained. Great location. I’d definitely come back and 100% recommend staying here :)

The owner of the Jas Hotel is very friendly and happy to help. Beautiful scenery and warm onsen. There is food served as well which is all homemade. Much love is poured out in this place.

This is a semi traditional hotel. I loved the location and the ladies at the front desk were very welcoming. The shower room is in an onsen. You can shower there but also enjoy the onsen if you'd like.

Good quiet corner of Takayama, but still close enough to necessities such as drug store, supermarkets and convenience stores and just a short distance away to attractions in Takayama makes this quaint and charming traditional ryokan a recommended stay here in Takayama

Lovely onsen, with a sauna and an outdoor garden bath. Very friendly and dedicated staff, with limited English but no communication difficulties. It's a bit far from the action in Takayama old town, but there are some superb restaurants nearby.

They upgraded us from the cheapest to the most expensive, was my favorite place to stay/visit. Also offered to drive us to the bus on departure. Such kind staff 10/10!

A traditional, old-fashioned hotel, but very well maintained, with lovely outdoor baths. We were there during the autumn festival, and the hotel offered a free shuttle service to and from the festival. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I recommend it.

The hotel is located quite far from the city center, a 15-20 minute walk from the station. A free shuttle service is available upon request by calling reception. The building is quite dated, as is the furnishings. Large rooms for 5-6 people with tatami mats. There are en-suite bathrooms, and additional bathrooms are also available in the hallways. Dinner and traditional breakfast can also be booked...

Excellent stay. It was our first time using an Onsen and we had a good time using the baths after a long day. The room is clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and kind and gave us a ride to the station after we checked out. The location is close to the main sites. Would highly recommended this hotel.

The onsens were wonderful. I did both the public Onsen (free ) and the private Onsen (pay 1000 yen). Both were great, but I thought the public Onsen was much better because it was bigger and had a better view! The place was beautiful and comfortable. Very clean as well. I wouldn’t recommend guests to go for the Japanese dinner in the ryokan though. I kinda thought it wasn’t that great. And i wasn’t...

Good place to stay and enjoy Onsen. Pick the right time and you may have the public onsen for your own. Japanese room was ok but the heater quite dusty. so those with sensitive noise please take note.

- Location: Very very close to the bus terminal - Room: a bit old dated, but still quite comfy - Food: very good for both dinner and breakfast - Service: the staff are quite helpful - Onsen: both outdoor and private ones are great

The hotel has 2 parts, one old and one new side. It was full during the New Year and we (2 of us) were in the old side. The room has nothing fancy, it was old, the carpet as well (should be changed). It was expensive for nothing. The view was facing the backyard fountain which was nice from the lobby, but noisy for guests in the room. Staffs were nice and one of them (grey hair man) could speak a bit...

Outdoor female onsen was nice! Futon was comfy, and the room was clean. Also, snacks provided each day was pretty sweet, no pun intended lol. Nearby to the bus to town made it convenient, and service was great; but beware, most people cannot speak English.

Very nice ryokan with an excellent outdoor onsen. The meals are excellent and generous. Take much effort to finish the food.
