The location is fantastic. Easy access yo all the sites in Takayama. Their focus seems to be non japanese guest based on the amount of western guests and the booklets in english in the rooms with elaborate explanations.

We found the food rather disappointing for a ryokan in this price segment. Portions were very restricted and not very japanese in taste. Almost every course was served by a different member of staff that often was not able to explain and felt like they were in a hurry.

Staffs are super polite in Japanese way. The room is spacious and cozy with a balcony that can saw the puppets show of the spring festival. Provides shuttle bus between hotel and JR station. Has multi-language staffs on call.

The room door only has one horn lock that is super unsecured. It can only be locked by antilock. The staffs of course have the spare key to open it without noticing as there isn’t any physical anti-theft lock like other hotels. I got my door opened without door knocked three times and even two time with one knock them door opened, which all received sincere apologies later. Dinner isn’t worth its price. While waitresses are super nice and polite, the food was not equivalent to other restaurants at this price.

Foi uma estadia sensacional! Ficamos em quarto estilo japonês, uma vista linda para a cidade, banheiros limpos e organizados, cama tipo futon confortáveis, o jantar estilo japonês servido no quarto estava impecável e o café da manhã também! Tivemos uma experiência completa em toda a estadia, funcionários extremamente educados e competentes, sempre dispostos ajudar e sanar todas as dúvidas!

Preço um pouco caro, porém vale o custo benefício de toda experiência

Ein klassisches Ryokan-Hotel in einem modernen Gebäude. Es ist ein Ryokan in einem schlichte modernen Gebäude, direkt am Fluss gelegen. Es sind nur wenige Schritte zur Altstadt. Der Empfang war äußerst freundlich und man wird von einem persönlichen Gastgeber, der den Tee vorbereitet in alle Einrichtungen des Hauses eingeführt. Die Übernachtung auf den Futons, die nachts ausgerollt werden war sehr bequem Der Onsen-Bereich (für die Herren gibt es ein Innen- und Außenbecken) war sehr großzügig und nur wenig genutzt. Das Kaiseki-Abendessen war eines der besten, die wir in Japan hatten, und auch das Frühstück war sensationell. Dies Essen werden übrigens nicht mehr auf das Zimmer gebracht, sondern das Hotel hat hier neuerdings einen Restaurantbereich mit Separées für jedes Zimmer.

Loved the corner room overlooking the river ( we were in the annex).

Would be good to clean the onsen's at different times as opposed to having them both closed at the same time

Authenticity. Service was awesome.

Loved the property.

Everything, the rooom, the staff, the ambiance, the food,

Wonderful service. It is a very nice Japanese hotel.
