Hotels in Hirayu Onsen, Takayama

This is the best hotel we have stayed at!! We loved everything about it. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They helped us with our bags and showed us to our room. The restaurant staff were also fantastic. Our room was beautiful and peaceful. The private bath was like nothing I have seen before. So cool! Overlooking the quiet forest. The beds were comfortable, cozy and the sliding doors hardly let any light in. The womens public outdoor bath is exactly like the pictures, overlooking trees with an amazing red autumn colour tree at the front. It was just so beautiful. There is also a sauna and cold plunge in the women's bath as well as ice cold water to drink after the hot bath. I even had the public bath to myself on the second day which was so cool! The hotel provides great amenities in the lobby and the room. Water, local sweets and shampoo/ soap in the room as well as additional toiletries as you check in. At night there are local snacks, ice water and sake in the lobby. In the lounge they had beer, wine and local apple juice at night. Tea and coffee available in the daytime. There was also ice lollies and milk for after the public bath. The outdoor private baths which are on a first come first served basis were also beautiful. We were able to use them often on our stay which I was glad about as I initially worried they would be too busy. They open til late too. The outdoor deck has a fire pit at night overlooking the trees it was so peaceful. We had the hida beef at dinner which we cooked ourselves on the grill, a great experience. It may be better to book this hotel direct as we didn't realise we hadn't booked breakfast and dinner. Luckily they had space for us when we checked in. There is a free shuttle from the bus station although it is a short walk if you don't have heavy bags. We did so called them via pay phone upon arrival and they were there within 5mins.

Fantastic location, the onsen was perfect with a stunning view. The food was top notch. An unforgettable experience.

Amazing place. Very beautiful room, Japanese style. Helpful and friendly staff. FANTASTIC private onsens to use, booking not required, all included in your stay price. 3 onsens to choose from, outdoors and indoors. All beautiful

Very nice hotel with good onsen in Okuhida area (one of the oldest in the area). Staff very very helpful and nice. We had shifts that were speaking good English. We stayed on second floor in main building, so everything was close (relevant for people with mobility issues). The free ramen was great!!! Tasty breakfast with lots of choices. Unlike some reviews they were replenishing everything all the time until the very end. Amasing views from the rooms and from the baths.

Great hotel with its own onsen inside and outside! Very friendly and helpful staff.

We love the hospitality. The kindness and education of the staff. The place is stunning. There is such a traditional atmosphere. Rooms were excellent. As well as the onsens. Dinner was outstanding. I have personally never eaten so much! It was a shame we only stayed there only for one night.

Nice hotel, food and service are excellent.

The breakfast was delicioys, and the indoor onsen was amazing.

Very friendly host. Amazing outdoor private onsen. Hida beef dinner was perfect.
