I book the room with bathroom, maybe seldom people will book these kind of room, so the bed sheet it's not pretty clean. I got bite by the bugs everywhere and everytime when I lay on bed, so I ask the counter to give me some new bed sheet, the new one is better, but If u want to have a nice trip, I won't recommend this place.
Eventhogh the service of the old grandma is okay..

It is only a place to sleep nothing else. It is a little hard to climb stairs and does not suit to people over 50 years old. In Takayama city there are not restaurants to serve breakfast and this property does not provide anything else that good morning and sayonara.
10.0 / 10.0
The hotel is a short 3.5 block walk from the Takayama JR Train Station, and a very reasonable walk to most of the local sights. If your feet start wearing out, it's a short 3 block walk to the bus station where you can catch the circle route city bus that stops at/near all the local attractions, and one that goes to the Hida village museum.
The family that runs the hotel is very friendly, and they keep the establishment very clean and tidy. The public bathing facilities are very nice and relaxing after a long day of exploring.

Close to the train station and many food choices. Was pretty empty and quiet while we were there. Nice but a bit impersonal.

Good location. The Onsen on the top floor is nice, the one on the bottom floor is a bit small.
5.0 / 10.0
A very nice, reasonably priced ryokan. If you want dinner -- and believe me, you want this dinner -- you musy tell them the day before. It is a great experience. The location in a very good: not far from the rail station, and not far from the historic district. The onsen is old and showing its age, but because the ryokan is small, you'll likely have it to yourself.

Great place
4.0 / 10.0
During my stay with my Wife this week ,we feel like the whole place belongs to us .
Share bathroom / washroom is inconvenient to us who had to climb stairs.
But it is safe to live and experience rural lifestyles since we both are from city dwellers.
Very quiet ,too quiet and maybe I’m not use to it . Definitely will come again with my grown up children next trip for Takayama + Shirakawa GO + Shinhotaka Ropeway
. Value for money homestay .

This was a lovely place to stay. It felt Japanese rather than international and we loved the hot bath. The staff were delightful.

Ideal to experience a Japanese Minshuku from removing outdoor shoes at the entrance to the low level bed in the room

Love the rooms, however, shared bathrooms make it inconvenient to use and I can't help but get a bit creeped out when using it alone. And there are 3 stories with no elevators, and so if you have a big luggage, carrying it up and down the narrow stairways can be quite challenging.

We enjoyed this authentic Japanese experience very much. The hot bath was much appreciated in the winter. The staff ( or owners) were very nice and
accomodating.

It's a fun experience to stay at minshuku - Japanese inn with a host family. Interaction with locals with hand gestures. Good food and hospitality. Sleeping on tatami mat with futon is great. Local lifestyle experience.
4.0 / 10.0
Really nice, traditional Ryokan. Good price/value, and I enjoyed the public bath; suited a solo trip.
4.0 / 10.0
Great homestay style hotel with Japanese tatami floor and futon beds. Simple but completed with hot spring - best for full day walking and winter season. Close to train station and the old town. The hotel owner is very helpful, he cleaned up the snow collected under the luggage and wheel by using a small toothbrush.,
5.0 / 10.0
Comfortable room, pleasant in-house onsen and lovely traditional Japanese breakfast (not included in the room price but well worth the extra ¥800/person). Good central location. Recommended.

The hotel was good. My only complaint was the bath was awful tight. Room for 3 adult males. I understand that the women's bath was larger but they didn't switch every night as I understood.

Conventient near morning market. Room is small for 2 tatami only but it was very clean. The public bath room is clean. Free parking can be offered. We stayes on 3rd floor and need to hand carry laugages to 2 levels up. The old and strong lady was so kind to bring one of the laugages for us. If you just stay for a night and will continue your trip in next early morning, this hostal is a good choice.

We were stranded by a typhoon and made a last minite booking to this ryokan. We had a pleasant welcome with hot water for tea waiting in our room. Aircon was on and room was clean. Only downside for a westerner was the shared bathroom, which I failed to realise when booking. The japanese shared bathroom means literally bathing with others. It is common in Japan spas (onsen) and ryokan. There was a communal shower area to be used before the communal bath. Male and female bathing was on seperate floors.

First time in a Ryokan. Sleeping takes some getting used too and the overall ritual of foot wear. Dining room b/ fast was a great intro to japanese morning food which can be a palate challenge.

Old place, a little small but clean and has all the necessary things. They have decent toilet paper, which is something not to be underestimated when most other places have paper thin enough to use as tracing paper. No western shower room though.

Room is quiet, none smoking, traditional style hotel.
Safe, and very good service.
Room is very clean.
