Wow this was such a highlight of our trip! Def wortg the trip! The onsen was amazing,the rooms were beautiful ,the dinner and breakfast experience delicious,and the staff super sweet. One thing to note, this is about an hr bus ride from Takayama station! We cut it really close because we didn't realize how far it was, if you get there after a certain time,they can't serve you dinner so plan accordingly

Environment is fine, but a bit far from the shops and train station. Also a bit not enough staffs for services.

From check-in to check-out, the whole feeling is very good, but some areas of the hotel have a relatively heavy paint smell, but the overall feeling is still very good !

The room is nice and comfortable. The dinner and breakfast is yummy. We love the outdoor pool so much and the private look great too. Highly recommend the couple to visit.

Overall excellent! But suggest to have Pork as dinner option other than beef.

the onsen (both private and public) was spectacular! food and tatami room were great - a taste of traditional japan! keep in mind the check in time - between 1400-1700. they offer a few time slots for dinner (1800- ~1900) and brekky. do let them know in advance. ok to communicate in English.

The stay was amazing, we wish we could've stayed for one more day. It is definitely more comfortable to come by car but we didn't and it was ok. The service was great and both room and public Onsen (with the option for privacy) were great.

Nice enough Ryokan in a pretty mountain town and with pleasant Onsen, just not extraordinary given the very high price. Food was underwhelming (though very well presented).

What a amazing experience. The staff are very professional and every little details are taken care of. Definitely recommend it

It’s rare and it may sound too good to be true: my partner and I enjoyed every single moment we spent at Kakurean Hidaji as soon as we arrive. This is our first ryokan experience and it will probably be the best in this price range.

Staying in this ryokan has been an amazing experience. Staff is really friendly and helpful. The village is tiny and we loved the quietness and pace of the whole stay. Make sure to arrive early enough (during check-in time) so that you can enjoy either the private (in-room) onsen or the public one. Food was amazing (Hida beef is delicious!)

Second time I am staying in the area. View of outdoor hot spring is wonderful. Really enjoyed my time there :)

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The room was very spacious. The staff sets up traditional futon mattresses while you're at dinner, and these are very comfortable. The en-suite onsen is truly luxurious as promised, although be sure to look up steps for how to shower/prepare if you have not done one before! They also open up the main onsens for private use between 10pm and 6am (during the day they're gender-restricted). The food was pretty spectacular - kaiseki style and you're guaranteed to try things you've never had before. I noticed a lot of local fish and greens on the menu. Not for a picky eater though! :) You may want to rent a car to explore the area during the day as it is quite rural. There are some good sites around including viewpoints and hikes if you're willing to drive a bit. The service is also great and the staff made extra effort to welcome us for our special occasion. All in all highly recommended if you want to try a Japanese ryokan experience!
