It would be nice if they offered the option to have dinner dinner at the ryokan as well.

Great attention to detail which helped enhance our stay. For example, you can choose to get essential oils diffused in your room when they make up your bed in the evening. Staff was very attentive to our needs. Breakfast was delicious (we went for the Japanese style). Our room was also the traditional Japanese ryokan style but it felt very modern and good quality. Public onsen was nice and relaxing.

The room is a bit old and the blinds are not enough to cover the light in the morning. They don’t serve dinner.

Very close to the train station, nice breakfast with different choices, we were able to try some traditional Japaneses clothes

I would have appreciated some more knowledge of the staff of restaurant recommendations or out of the way places to eat that might not just be focused on beef. Might have liked the option for beer or sake in their "lobby" or lounge area, but it was comfortable.

Our room was traditional with futons on the floor which was very nice to experience. The whole ryokan experience here was wonderful though it was not in the "official" historic Takayama location. The room had a main tatami area, but also a couch if floor sitting was not comfortable Very close to the train station, yet on a quiet side street, and walkable to the historic Takayama area, the morning markets, the festival floats museum, etc. Two types of breakfasts are available, Japanese and Western--I had the Japanese which was wonderful. Very attentive staff (though not too much English). The location near the train station allowed us to stash our bags at the ryokan before going out to explore Takayama and access to the bus station (next to train station) also made it easy as we were leaving by bus. There are many eating options in Takayama, but it is a bit difficult if one does not eat beef. The staff was not really able to point us to good options for dinner but we managed to find the next door restaurant was casual and met our needs, as well as another inexpensive sushi restaurant nearby (and not in the "historic" area) that was very enjoyable..

this is one of the best hotels that i ever stayed, if you are hesitant book it! The room is great, the tatami bed offers great confort. The hotel provides absolutely everything that you need including slippers, kimonos for formal and in the hotel, entertainment with origami and japanese writing, books and games. The level of confort is amazing, they prepare your bed to sleep including an oil lamp with a sense of your preference! The public onsen is absolutely wonderful, dont hesitate to go, after a long day of walking is just the best thing you can do. The breakfast also great and the staff is the most friendly crew! Wouldnt hesitate to go back!

Nothing in particular. I didn't try the breakfast but on the pictures they didn't seem so inviting. Maybe a bit expensive but it worth the experience inside.

Well transformed building into a Ryokan experience. Just getting to the entrace gives you that feeling. The room was fantastic, really big with extra sofa space. The welcome and the experience transforming the room from day to night is really good. The private onsen was good for private relax (extra price) but also the public onsen was really good (included in the price), I went just when it opens at 6:00 and only one person was there.

Nothing, everything was fantastic. I wish we could stay at least 1 more day.

It's really hard to express how superb this stay was. And it was only 1 day. I imagine this is thanks to type of the place, not being typical hotel, but rather traditional ryokan with it's quality. From the beginning, the staff was excellent. Helpful, informative, easy to talk to. The room, comparing to our other hotels, was huge. Sleeping on futon was our best sleeping experience during whole stay in Japan. We have booked private bath, and again - everything well prepared, all important things available in the room. We were provided also with yukatas to be used in ryokan, but in addition we could also use more colorful that could be used outside. Hotel is 5 minutes walk from main station and on the way to old town of Takayama. The last but not least - breakfast was the best we had in Japan. We have chosen Japanese one and we could try many elements.

We liked everything!

The ultimate choice for an authentic Japanese Ryokan experience! We had a room with Tatami mats and futon beds, a private bathroom and we got to wear Yukatas in and out of the hotel. The staff was super friendly and helped us with whatever we needed and breakfast was also great (Both the Japanese and European one). The Train and Bus stations were just 2 minutes walking distance. Thanks for everything!

What a great traditional experience, from the Japanese style Tatami matt rooms to the breakfast and baths. The hotel has so much charm and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Also conveniently located near the train and bus station and 5-10 minute walk to the old town.

The staff were so friendly and helpful! They went out of their way to make sure we were happy. The atmosphere was fantastic, with many people wearing kimonos and just enjoying themselves. A lovely ryokan in a great location, easy to access everything in Takayama and close to the train station. Highly recommend and we, especially my wife, would stay here again.
