Amazing experience.

Excellent location walkable to all main areas and restaurants. 10 min walk to JR and bus station but they offer complimentary private shuttle to and from station. Staff is very attentive to every detail. From pick up at the station to checkin, dinner and breakfast and throughout the stay. Service is very personalized and knows the needs of each guest. They have a very nice women’s onsen however need to go outside across the street. Fully equipped amenities in the public baths. Food was excellent with the best ingredients all from local sources. We stayed 3 nights but only had one dinner and wished we had for an extra meal. Breakfast was large in portions with lots of detail and thoughtfulness. Delicious and nutritious!! Traditional Japanese rooms were spacious and had comfortable tatamis. Definitely recommended for a nice relaxing time in Takayama!!

Best Ryokan for my trip! Everything is just perfect. The Onsen is great and clean. Staff are friendly, helpful and happy. Food is amazing. I am already planning my next trip to stay here a bit longer, say 4-5 nights.

Location is amazing. All the stores were walking distance, practically at your doorstep. Service was impeccable. The ryokan provides transportation to and frm train station. There are 3 onsen affiliated w this ryokan. One on property and 2 across the street. They provide yukata in your room. Would recommend one Japanese style dinner and breakfast on site. It’s a wonderful experience. I would love to come back for the service and the location convenience. Beautiful place to stay.

10/10, worth every penny!!! The ultimate ryokan experience. Every details and aspects of the stay is warm and comfortable. From the moment you enter the door, you are greeted the most welcoming staff. The room is spacious, clean, and full of Japanese details. The meals are abundant and delicious, every dish is a work of art. There are 3 onsens to choose from, each one is super clean and filled with amenities. The location is the ryokan is a 10 minute walk from the Takayama station and right in the heart of the old town.

Convenient location. Japanese style--prepare to sleep on futon on the floor. There is a onset bath in the ryokan.

Wow - where do I start? This was an amazing place. Our first experience of a Ryokan but we were truly impressed from the reception on arrival with drum, to the superb rooms, the extremely attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The food was exceptional and can revommend both the onsens and the in room Chiatsu massage

Our stay at the high-end Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan was an amazing experience. When we arrived that evening, they led us right in for a fancy kaiseki dinner in a private room. We didn't love all of the food options, but they were great to try, and we loved the experience. Next night, we are at their yummy sushi restaurant. The beds were traditional but extra fluffy. The baths were one of my favorite places of my trip. So beautiful and lots of them. The soaps etc they offer are really worth trying--they smell beautiful and left my skin so soft.

The whole stay was flawless and staff are really very consciously looking after your needs. The in room bath pool overlooking a small garden was cool. The dining experience was most excellent. Lastly we left a jacket in the wardrobe and realized that at the train station with minutes to board!; as my daughter was on the phone to hotel; the driver had retrieved the jacket and showed up at the station to return the jacket. This will never happen anywhere else - really appreciated the service levels.

This was a special anniversary trip for me and my wife and we wanted to select a hotel with an in room onsen so that we could onsen together. So we decided to splurge on this hotel and booked the following room: Japanese Style Semi Open Air Bath The pictures made it look like there is an onsen in the room so that’s why we booked this place which was 6 times more expensive than a nearby equivalent hotel. However the first room we were offered when we checked in clearly was a bath tub not an onsen. After showing the check in person the pictures on the web site, we were then offered a second room which had a bath which was smaller version of what was in the booking page picture but again not an onsen, only regular water and was told that it only looked like an onsen for decorative purposes. We felt pretty deceived by the booking pictures as it made it look like there was an onsen in the room and this is not uncommon in Japan. This really ruined our anniversary, and put a damper on our stay in Takayama. So in summary beware if you want a private onsen in your room this place does not offer it.
