We checked in late and the owner was very accommodating and helpful. One of the coolest places we stayed. It had sick art and swords and was very authentic Japanese style living. I thought the futons were very comfortable, my girlfriend not so much. Major shoutout to the owner, he even drove us to the train station for free even though he had a busy day. He gave us lots of helpful tips and points of interest in our next location.

It is 5 minutes walk from the JR station, super convenient. The room was a traditional Japanese style tatami and it was huge for the japanise standard, a lot of space for your luggages. The futons were comfy and we slept very well. The onsen was amazing, perfect to rest at the end of a long day of walks.

    Beautifully designed and very aesthetic. Lovely comfortable room. Great location: quiet but still impressively close to where you would want to be in Hida Takayama. Super easy check in.

    Great location on the Main Street. We came when there was a street festival on and the atmosphere was excellent. The host we met spoke native English which was very helpful. Easy check in and could leave bags when we checked out to explore Takayama which is a beautiful place

    Everything at the property was great- it’s a quaint home stay - 6 rooms with 6 onsens- how awesome is that! Immaculately clean and host catered to special dietary restrictions- A* for effort. The location is quiet countryside for self reflection.

    Very cosy, homely guesthouse. The bed were super comfy and had a nice communal kitchen space. The hosts were super helpful and provide a free daily shuttle to the city centre. I also left my laptop charger and they were super helpful in getting it delivered to my next hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

    The guesthouse is located up above the city center, close to everything. I believe there are 2 houses and I wasn’t in the main one but it was all clean, had 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, all the utilities, and bonus there is a cute garden at the back where you’re allowed to smoke (this is uncommon for japanese houses). The host was really nice, spoke a good english and show me on a map everything that could be seen near the city center. I had a great time in Takayama, it’s a really beautiful place!
