A great spot to adventure from; easy walk from the station and around the main town area and super fun and easy to make the most of the free bikes available. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating, our room was warm and cozy- tho a tad noisy with the heating system for the fabulous Onsen right outside- a catch... More

We loved our stay in this family run guest house and in Takayama. We stayed two two nights during the Matsuri Festival in October, so there was a great vibe around town and lots of events to enjoy. Aside from this, it is just a beautiful little town. The guest house had free bikes which we made good use of... More

We stayed here for one night as part of a wider tour of Japan. Room was spacious and clean. The bathrooms are shared with shared sento bath tubs. All very clean and comfortable but we needed to pluck up a bit of courage for our first bath!! Very conveniently located for the attractions and easy walking distance from the train... More

We enjoyed this Minshuku. Nice room and service. Shared bathroom on the same floor, not really an inconvenience. The onsen is a little small and old. The free bike is very useful as we toured the whole town in one afternoon. The room didn't come with breakfast. Overall, it was good value.

I feel a bit guilty writing this review now after reading everyone's so positive comments. It is in a good location being close to the station. It is very clean. After looking at some of the information on the net about "must stay at a traditional ryokan", being the first one we stayed at I was a little disappointed. We... More

A little bit out of the centre of Takayama, the only real negative is the fact that I had to go downstairs to use the toilet (not fun in the middle of the night) as there was no ensuite in our room. The family that run the place were lovely and very helpful. We were travelling with 9 month old... More

We spend 2 nights in this ryokan. It is located just a few blocks from the bus and train station. They provide free renting bike during the day time. My room is opposite to a temple. They only provide room without private bathroom. Free wifi ! Good janases dinner set. Breakfast is bit small for me. I would recommend to... More

We stayed here 2 nights with our 2 children. The kids loved the onsen very much. The water was not too hot, unlike some other hot springs. The room was comfortable, with air-con, wi-fii and relatively new. The bathroom was also clean and new. It ws very easy to book as the owner responds very promptly to email in english.... More

We stayed 2 nights. Place is well located although we had to ask for directions to find it. Rooms warm and comfortable (midwinter when we went). Excellent value for money. The owner was very helpful - coming down the road to find us when we got lost, cleaning the snow off our luggage when we arrived. The highlight of takayama... More
