The location is close to the train station but on the opposite direction than the old city. It’s not the worst but adds a little bit of walking to your daily steps.

We had a very pleasant and unique stay. The breakfast was delicious and so aesthetically presented, we enjoyed it a lot - on the first day it was more western and on the second day it was traditional. Both were excellent. Staff was very kind. The private onsen was heavenly. Laundry facilities were convenient.

The bathrooms are tiny, with a small shower cubicle, a separate toilet and a sink outside the bathroom. The only chair provided was what we would describe in the west as a low beach chair. The room needs a proper chair or small lounge to relax on. You have to walk through an open courtyard to get to the rooms at the back of the hotel. This involves shoes on and off multiple times. When you arrive in the foyer, change into slippers, get to the first door outside, change to outdoor slippers, get to the back part of the hotel, and put on inside slippers. When you go out, you do the same thing again. The hotel should consider enclosing the outdoor footpath into a corridor so you can keep your slippers on and not have to venture out into the cold to go to your room.

Ichinomatsu Japanese Modern Hotel is a lovely boutique hotel in Takayama. It's about a 10-minute walk to the town centre and 20 minutes to the Sanmachi-dori (historic area). Breakfast was included. We were told in the morning when we arrived at the dining room that it was a Western-style breakfast. So the hotel must alternate between Japanese and Western-style breakfast. The food was excellent. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with twin beds - more like mattresses on a tatami mat than traditional futons. The beds were comfortable, and the room was quiet. There was plenty of space for luggage. There is an onsen in a small structure in the hotel's courtyard. You can book a half-hour appointment for the onsen - and couples can use it together. You don't need more than half an hour - it's hot - and we were out after 20 minutes. We had a car, and parking was conveniently located 50m from the hotel.

The bathroom was a bit small but other than this everything was perfect!

Beautiful and well maintained establishment, the breakfast was served overlooking the garden, the room was big compared to Tokyo sizes.

The room was nice, the beds were very comfortable, the onsen experience was appreciated.

Parking slot is very limited to 5 max (was informed by hotel staff that 5 is hardly occupied). However overnight parking fees of ¥1,000 is rather steep. Signage of hotel is not prominent and only visible when near.

Hotel is kind of house-converted style with limited quantity of rooms. However room is clean, comfortable & tidy with all basic features like kettle, fridge, kimono.. etc Breakfast is included and served personally with a predetermined timeslot of 30mins decided by guest upon check-in. Onsen is small but of private usage via booking with the logbook.

It's not located in the central. The room is smaller than what's shown in the picture.

Breakfast was good. Private onsen (pre-booked) was great for family with young children. The room is clean.

The Onsen is cute. You can choose a 30 min timeslot. The breakfast was fresh and nice.

We stayed only one night, room is clean although it could be better with the blind covering the window that open to the outside walkway (there is tinted window but at night it was not enough to keep the light out)

Conveniently located near Takayama station although on the other side of attractions.

Nothing

Great Ryokan hotel; loved all the amenities, including the hot spring. The traditional Japanese breakfast was delicious! Also, the room was perfect for a family of 4.

Great place to stay!

Absolutely nothing at all. The only downside was that we weren’t staying longer!

Everything! The welcome was amazing. Didn’t expect the service we received so it was fantastic! The private onsen you can book out for free (twice per day!) was a brilliant surprise after our day of traveling. Breakfast included was perfect. All the staff were so friendly and helpful which really was the cherry on top!

The only small downside is the location, since it's not super close to the points of interest BUT it's just a short walk away. Straight line to Takayama station and nohi bus. It was not a big deal.

Such a beautiful modern ryokan. Very clean. Staff was super kind, they speak some english and it was enough. I loved the room with the garden view, wonderful! The outside onsen was a nice experience (no problem with tatoos or couples, very friendly for first timers). Delicious breakfast, it was japanese one day, western the next.

Would have liked a little more space in the room.

The manager was so very helpful phoning a previous hotel for me to arrange for some lost property to be sent on. All the staff were lovely. Breakfast was a good experience as was the onsen, although not so much the evening it poured with rain.
