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.

This family-run guesthouse is a good half-hour walk from the train station, although there are buses every hour from 9:00 to 18:00 (6:00pm) that stop at the bottom of the hill. The establishment can sometimes pick you up or drop you off. The shared toilets and bathing facilities are clean and separated by gender, but the tired slippers at the entrance don’t seem like a very hygienic alternative to one’s own shoes… maybe we were spoiled by staying in too many business and apartment hotels and not in traditional accommodations like ryokans or guesthouses like this one. Staff communicated well in English.

Friendly husband and wife team own the place. Close to Old Hida Village and Bear Cafe. They have a spa, great breakfast & dinner. Quiet, safe, nice place.

Certainly had a traditional Japanese feel. The futon beds take some getting used to as do the floor level dining rooms, so be prepared!

If you are looking for budget, this is your place. Didn't enjoy it with the girls, as shared bathrooms and shared Japanese baths were no our favorites!

Came for takayama festival. Hotel was very comfort and clean. They had all the information needed.

Dinner and Breakfast were fabulous. Bath was also great. Staff were very friendly. We spoke very little Japanese and it was not a problem. Quiet and scenic. Away from town (a plus), walk-able for us (~1.25mi) and they have a shuttle if necessary. Would definitely return.

Stayed here for two nights where one day was spent exploring Takayama and another for a day trip to Shirakawago. The building, room, baths, and everything are very nice and the family running the place are all very friendly. Our room didn't have any bathroom or basin inside which was fine since we enjoyed using the shared bath (like an onsen) (minor inconvenience is if you want to get water or something, you have to walk out of the room). Only points of inconvenience for me would be the wifi was spotty in the room (my SO's macbook and iphone could connect better in the lobby but not my Samsung phone anywhere) and the location. There's a convenient shuttle bus leaving the hotel to drop guests off at Takayama Station at 830/900/930 but in terms of coming back, you're on your own - the local bus gets you pretty close but in the winter, at least, it stops running pretty early so you'll have to take a 1000 yen cab otherwise. We don't recall seeing many places to eat nearby either. Other than those points, we had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Excellent experience

Personable staff & service, updated facilities, enjoyable onsen & full breakfast included w/our room rate made for a most comfortable stay.

Such a lovely hotel and the family that runs it are all super nice! I absolutely loved the food and the hot springs were my favorite part!

We had an amazing stay, the owner and staff were very attentive and helpful. We had a fantastic breakfast included with our stay, rooms are clean and comfortable with air conditioning and we were really happy that we were allowed to use the Onsen despite having tattoos. The Ryokan itself is located a 15 minute bus ride away from Takayama station, the bus stops directly outside Hida Folk Village and the ryokan is literally a 30 second walk away. The ryokan also operates a free shuttle service to and from the station in the mornings. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again should we return to Takayama.

Very friendly staff and extremely clean. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

Lovely family run traditional Japanese Inn. The breakfast and dinners were amazing. While we had concerns about the shared shower facilities (We are shy Canadians), we had enough privacy during late hours.

Hotel is clean and well kept. Hosts are friendly and hospitable. The best part are the sumptuous breakfast and unforgettable dinner spread!

It was a beautiful place to stay. Walking distance from Hida no Sato.

Relaxing, clean, friendly staff, good food. Great place to be when the typhoon arrived.

When we initially booked our stay, we understood that the bathroom facilities were shared. However, we were pleasantly surprised that the room did have its own water closet and small sink. Baths/showers were taken in the public bath, which was very nice.

We enjoyed our stay here. This felt like an old style ryokan with a recent full refurbishment. Rooms were spacious but bathrooms shared.
