Never regret to choose and spend our stay there throughout our trip in Japan. Excellent service, cozy and comfort home.

The stay was great. Simple, clean, good size room. My husband and I thought the food choices were excellently prepared and beautifully presented. The staff even took into consideration my gluten problem (Celiac) and adapted their menu for me!

Awesome place, very quiet and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious

We were honored and so blessed to have stayed at Hida No Mori. They provided a shuttle service from Takayama Station to the guest house which is situated on the beautiful outskirts of Takayama. It is in a beautiful forest were one can easily find the wonderful route through the lush mountain forests. We had lost one of our bags on the train to Takayama with passports and valuables in them and they took it in their stride and regardless of the late hour managed to track down and find the bag. We woke up with a lovely letter of the news and were blown away at how accommodating the lovely family is. I would recommend this superb place to any travelers lucky enough to get a vacancy. The breakfast is by far one of the best meals we’ve had in Japan so far. They are truly a warm and wonderful family and we wish them all the love in the world. Arigatogonsaimasu!

Only managed to book and secure a room for 4 person 6 months prior, but now we understood why. We 'd only stay for two days but the duration spend was cozy and magical. Mr Toshie & his staffs were also very helpful whenever we were in need of any help. They were willing to transport us to our desired places, free of charge . In addition both the breakfast and dinner serve was definitely one of the best Italian food we've ever tasted. Their helpfulness also made us felt at home as if we were family. Once again, I'd like to thank Toshie and his staffs. Sincerely, Thomas

The best and most beautiful place I have ever stayed in Japan. It is run by a family, they are all very friendly and helpful. They picked us up from Takayama JR station. They are also happy to arrange free shuttle whenever you need.We stayed there for 3 days. They gave us 2 double rooms for 3 people and they only us by no. of head and not by the no. of rooms. I guess it is because the rooms at that time were not fully booked.Their food is one of the highlights!!! Free breakfast included! and it was the best breakfast ever.They also have a Italian 5- course dinner menu. it was soooo delicious so dont miss it!!!!

Wonderfully friendly staff. Hotel out of town, but picked us up and back to/from station. Also transported us to town and back whenever we asked. Great breakfast. The evening meal, although expensive, well worth it. Five course meal of really exceptional Italian style food. This because the owner is a chef of the highest quality (fine dining without the pomp). 5000 yen each, worth every yen. Hotel small and cosy in a outstanding location. Would stay here again anytime. More a home than a hotel.

Very pleasant stay, the staff is incredibly nice and the auberge looks great.

Quite but a bit far away town

Stayed for a night here and pretty much find it very enjoyable. Room is cosy and the staff are friendly and helpful. Free shuttle is provided from town and this place offers a quiet surrounding to chill and relax away from the city.

have a nice trip because of it. Highly recommend the dinner!!!

Auberge Hidanomori is a very nice place, with very cosy and warm design, and good host. They also served great food!

They picked us up from train station, great service, amazing Italian dinner, cozing countryside location, super clean place, couldn't have asked for anything more.

the hosts at auberge hidamori were wonderful, not only were they accomodating, staying up to 2am awaiting our arrival, helping store my dad medications, they were very helpful and served the bests breakfasts!! their property was very well kept and had a great warm homely feel with a fireplace.

If you don't mind no toilet & bathroom inside the room. This is a good hotel to feel.

Great place nice architectural house, rooms are clean and tidy. Helpful staff. The shower rooms provided with a little jacuzzi pool, very relaxing. Best place if travelling with car.

only stayed two nights, but it was bliss!! amazing dinner- definitely recommend. guesthouse was beautiful, clean and peaceful, wish we could stay longer. the owners picked us up and dropped us off at train station, bus stop and restaurants and couldnt be more helpful. strongly recommend to stay here!

Lovely setting, large communal lounge with wood burning stove. No en suite facilities, toilets on galleries off the stairs leading up to bedrooms. Washbasins and bathrooms also on galleries above lounge. Bathrooms are Japanese style with dressing rooms and shower/bathroom next door. Baths are deep double style with jacuzzi type jet circulating water - a great experience after a long day walking around Takayama! Staff were extremely attentive in every respect. Shuttle service on demand to Takayama, you can phone from virtually anywhere in the town to get picked up. Excellent breakfast, option to take an evening meal at the auberge, either pasta and salad or the 5 course Italian meal for 5,000 yen plus drinks. The latter is fine if you enjoy nouvelle cuisine. If we were coming back to Takayama we would certainly stop here again.

Decided to ditch Tokyo for takayama and could not be any happier with our choice. This place is ideal location for relaxation and is absolutely beautiful. The owners/staff are fantastic and super accommodating. Our only regret was a short stay, we should have lengthened it and explored the surrounding towns and so we will be coming back and staying here again!

They offer a fabulous evening meal which on top of the great hospitality made the stay fantastic

This is an exceptionally "clean and tidy" place with a very friendly staff that speak English fluently. The breakfast is superb (NOT a buffet) - it is served to the table and is just enough to get you start the day (very tasty). Rooms are basic. There are two disappointments that we faced (after paying over $230 per night for a room of three): 1. Showers and toilets are shared, and showers cannot used after 11pm. There are 2 men and 2 women toilets for all guests and only two showers for all guests. 2. We stayed one night at the beginning of Aug 2016, and it was very warm (the room is air conditioned and very pleasant, but once one leaves the room to the toilet, bathroom or anywhere else, it is very warm). Overall, we highly enjoyed the good taste, clean place, friendly staff and the good communication - just be aware of the baths/toilets and make sure you are not sensitive to heat during the summer.

This has been a highlight in our Japan experience. Be sure to try the five-course Italian dinners.

Really great experience staying at the Pension Hidanomori. Toshi and his wife are very welcoming hosts and incredible chefs (their Italian dinner was outstanding). Grounds are quiet and peaceful and the rooms and facilities are all spotless. Hope to stay here again in the future.

Very nice couple running this small boutique hotel in Takayama. We had an excellent Italian meal in their restaurant and breakfast also was very good. They picked us up at the train and in town after we were finished sight seeing. Highly recommended for the calm and quiet.
