Very well located hostel, just a few minutes walk from the bus & train station. We were greeted by a very helpful English host who was able to provide us with useful information about what to see in the area. Our room was a private double room with bathroom: simply furnished but quite comfortable. There was a common lounge area and kitchen with fridges to store your own food, cooking and eating utensils and free coffee and tea from 7 am.

We were accomodated in different place than was advertised, so I cannot review anything. Price was high, but it could be because of the autumn festival that was happening that day.

All hostels in Takayama

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Very friendly, helpful and kind staff - they contacted the police for me when I left my wallet full of money at a market stall (and it wasn’t there when I returned to the stall). My wallet was never found in the end but I’m grateful for their efforts. The hostel is a great location - ~10 min walk from train/bus station and main hub of Takayama. It is also kept very clean! Personal lockers in dorm rooms were also a bonus!

    Good for backpackers or solo travellers who enjoy meeting new people in a guesthouse as there will be other people around.

    Great location just near the train station and the bus terminal to various locations like Kamikochi, Shin Hotaka Ropeway just to name a few. Super clean rooms with charging points on the Sofa, nice balcony facing the train track (but we couldn't hear a thing with the glass doors closed. We got the 2 x queen size + 2 bunk beds combo for 3 persons. It will be great for families.

    This was such a fabulous hostel. Great location, 5 mins from the station. Such a nice chill area and kitchen inside. I had the most fabulous sleep in their super-comfy bed! Very well priced single room - such a luxury! First mattress in Japan that was soft enough for me as a side sleeper. Helpful, friendly staff. Lots of info provided. Can't fault it

    The staff is so nice and the location on the hill is very cute. There is a direct bus going into the city just 2 minutes downhill. The bed was really cozy with a big blanket and curtains. The hostel is in an older style but all so clean and I instantly felt safe and cozy there.

    One of the best hostels I've stayed at in Japan. Lovely traditional style building/rooms and it was clean with good facilities. Great location and staff gave good tips for food etc. Super sociable hostel - group of us chilled out drinking the (free) hostel sake in the tatami room!

    Great location close to JR Takayama station and walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. K’s House has the friendliest staff who have a lot of knowledge of the area and are always happy to help. The communal areas (kitchen, dining and living areas) are great - a lot of newer hostels we went to didn’t have this! The rooms and bathrooms are basic but fine for the price (we had a private bunk bed room). Overall we liked staying here!
