We cannot recommend this place more. It is a lovely cosy place allowing us to experience traditional Japanese style environment and food. The staff here are the loveliest and so kind. They were extremely helpful and accomodating. Especially as one of us had dietary requirements. We are beyond happy with our stay. It is also located convienently near several popular must see places including the river, morning market, heritage buildings and traditional streets. They made our honeymoon extra special by just being themselves. We hope to come visit again in the near future. Thank you again to all the staff there!

Nothing!

Everything was perfect! The room is very big and has that feeling of a traditional Japanese house. They give you a Yukata to choose from for the stay. Delicious breakfast, nice Onsen

Nothing. Just a note that the onsen is shared. Also this ryokan is on the large side with more than a dozen rooms so may not be the best fit for those looking for a more intimate experience.

Meals were excellent, you could tell that a lot of effort was put into the preparation and presentation of each dish. We also enjoyed the onsen, even though it was not private, no one else used it while we were there. Hospitality was also top notch with staff who took care to explain how everything worked at a ryokan and even sent us away with small gifts. The free yukata rentals were a nice touch too.

We didn't use the onsen as we have experienced several on our trip and only had two nights here. Had there been a private one we could both use we probably would have, especially if it were outdoors which we highly prefer. This is definitely not a dealbreaker though as we thoroughly enjoyed Asunaro.

This ryokan has an old main room in a traditional building with an attached newer building with the rooms in a ryokan style. It does a wonderful job of providing the ryokan experience a short five minute walk from the Takayama Station. We stayed two nights, had the excellent Japanese breakfast both days, and booked the Kaiseki dinner the second night for 6600 yen. It is definitely something worth doing at least once and was a pleasant experience. All the staff was great.

The place to stay when in Takayama

Price quality is excellent. Japanese breakfast in the morning is nice, with various dishes prepared. The room itself was large and spacious. There is ample place to park your car, but train station is also in walking distance.

Nothing all was excellent.

It was authentic and highly professional in every aspect. The staff were very respectful and the food and accommodation top class. The onsen was excellent.

Loved this comfy and cozy stay. The hotel and the rooms exceeded my expectation. You can tell the owners put effort into the decor and sweet unique details throughout the place. It's a Japanese-style traditional accomodation with modern touch throughout. I loved it and would recommend to my friends if they were going. The staff spoke good English and was very friendly.

Very nice Ryokan. Room was super big that had sitting/tea area. We ordered the dinner separately and it was a very nice experience too.

Our first stay at a ryokan and it was great. We had a Japanese style room and enjoyed the experience. Japanese style dinner and breakfast were taken in the main dining room and was a really unforgettable experience. The menu was in English and it was really appreciated as we could then identify the different elements of the delicious food - the staff were so lovely and caring. A great stay.

What a superb hotel, service and people. We enjoyed it from the first minute until checking out. Real Japanese experience with excellent dinner and breakfast. And…. onsen. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

A small note - there is no flexibility to change or adapt the food to different food restrictions or allergies

A very good ryokan, a staff that welcomed us and explained all the facilities, we got a yukata (traditional dress), the dinner was very good with an aesthetic presentation and lots of small and tasty dishes. Nice onsen.

Absolutely amazing! Our best experience in Japan! The ryokan is so well let and well decorated, and everyone was very accommodating and kind. The onsen was also great and breakfast was delicious. I would come to Takayama again just for the chance to stay here again.

Wonderful place, super clean and close to Takayama train station. Super nice staff. Loved the onsen and the size of the room. They give you traditional slippers and kimonos to wear in the facility. Fantastic experience.

Amazing ryokan that gives an authentic Japanese experience. The owners are charming and welcoming. Great location, walking distance to all sites in central Takayma. Clean hotel, lovely room, great onsen... in short, a special experience especially the meals that look like a work of art.

Everything was great. Good location. Very welcoming staff. Liked the Onsen. Traditional meals were great.

Closer to business area than old town (but still only 10 min walk).

Amazing and unique Japan experience! Very nice room, very friendly, English speaking staff (which is not very common in Japan), a lot of small details that made our stay even better (Japanese tea and biscuites in the room, onsen, kimono, slippers, cosmetics accessories …) and delicious breakfast - Japanese or Western stlye, they can even arrange gluten free option.

There was nothing bad.

We really enjoyed the traditional Japanese experience. The room was very comfortable and clean and the onsen looked lovely although we did not use it. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Stayed in April 2024

It is not in an optimal location-a bit far from the center and surrounded by concrete buildings. Also dinner was good (and not cheap) but we felt very rushed through the experience. The dishes were coming every five minutes and we got a strong feeling that we were meant to finish quickly.

Traditional ryokan with both a European and Japanese option for breakfast
