This is a nice ryokan with a good staff, welcoming and helpful. The inn is on the simple side, which does not refer to the spare Japanese tradition but to its now being a bit dated. The dining is as one can expect in a ryokan, thus traditional Japanese. The area around is a lovely park above the inn and the old town, touristy but attractive, directly below. The price is what one expects in Japan, thus expensive relative to comparable lodging elsewhere. Takayama is worth visiting, and this inn is a good base.

We stayed here for one night and really enjoyed the onsen and the food. The female onsen has one indoor and 2 outdoor pools, which give us plenty of personal space when having the hot spring. We were lucky that very few people used the onsen during our stay, and sometimes we even had the whole place to me and my daughter! Another highlight is the foot spa located on the roof level. It was nice to sooth your feet in the hot water and look out to the shimmering lights in town at night. We had a package that included dinner and breakfast which were delicious and very filling.

Very good in all aspects - hospitality, cleanliness, services, ......., anything you mention.

The hotel is traditional which is what we were after, however, it was quite dated. You can tell money has been spent downstairs to bring it up to a better standard, but the bedrooms we had (western twin and japenese twin futon) were small, bathrooms very dated, smelt smoky & the mattresses were lumpy/ springy. The onsen is nice - three baths for women (can’t comment on the men’s) one inside and two outside. Very clean and private located on ground floor. The top floor has a foot spa with nice views. The other top floor onsen facilities you have to rent. However we found the ground floor facilities nice and adequate. The hotel is located 5 mins from the old town & they offer free pick up/ drop off from the station which is great for when you’ve got a lot of luggage. We stayed two nights and that was plenty, for the hotel and the area. Staff very friendly and lovely. We had the breakfast and it was, traditional (not to our tastes but glad we tried it). Would recommend this hotel if you want traditional but be aware it is quite dated.

Very friendly staff, hotel is on the hillside, recommend to people who are driving. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, food was great and we booked onsen on 5/f with $1500 yen additional, only for women, value for money.

The location is superb. It is near the town so you can walk around within 5 minutés

訂了Private Open air bath room，很滿意，很整潔、衛生。鞋子要脫在門外，行李箱進內前亦會有職員細心清潔好才推入室內。訂了一泊二食，食物質素很好，每件細小，但款式多，很滿足，而且到宮川朝市亦很方便，會再來

This place is AMAZING. In addition to the beautiful atmosphere and the gorgace location, we got an OUTSTANDING help from a staff member that made numerous calls to resolve a bus schedule that was changed because of the typhoon and was able to resolve the situation. Food is excellent and is served in a beautiful way. If we go back to Takayama this is the place we'll stay !!!

A lovely traditional Japanese style hotel. I like the interior very much. Room is spacious. Public bathroom and onsen are nice. Staffs are all friendly and willing to help. Recommend to stay!

Hotel staff were very attentive. Saki is a great credit to the hotel and could not do enough to help us in both our enquiries prior to our arrival and when we were at the hotel. Had a Japanese style room as we had to move from the smoking room which we were first offered. Good pick up service and return from/to the station. Very handy to a large park with magnificent autumn leaves during our stay but also within easy walking distance to the old part of town.
