Reviews of Hidaji (Adult Only) 4 stars

everything was perfect, including all the design and use of natural material. Food was exceptional

GORGEOUS

Very authentic experience. A nest in the Moutain with wonderful private garden and onsen. Authentic Kaiseki food

Very difficult to access without your own car. The hotel does not have any car service despite being very remote. As a result, to move around, you need to fit into several complex bus schedules that rarely coincide. We spent 3/4 hours per day moving in and out of the hotel (e.g, to Kamikochi for instance)

Beautiful and peaceful setting, outside of our normal experiences. This was our splurge stay and it was totally worth it. Kind and considerate staff, delicious traditional food. And the onsen experience, both the private and semi private, was exceptional. Absolutely loved this place.

The thick down comforter was a bit too heavy for me in the hot summer weather, but I tend to be a hot sleeper.

The entire experience was truly amazing! The staff , the food , the onsen with view on the forest and river. I will surely go back one day

I stayed at this hotel in 2018 and was amazed. During the COVID-19 epidemic, we were unable to travel abroad, and occasionally missed this hotel, hoping that one day the epidemic would end and we could visit here again. This year, we finally realized our wish. The hotel still maintains a high standard, and the food is not only visually artistic, but also really delicious. The room size and facilities are impeccable, and the public hot springs offer unparalleled views of the forest and waterfalls. The environment is unparalleled, and there is no need to use them with strangers at the same time, ensuring maximum privacy. We know that the hotel is fully booked every day, but the smooth service and arrangements make it rare for us to encounter other guests, and every place is quiet and comfortable. The morning market next to the hotel is so lovely. If possible, I would like to have time to sit quietly there for a few hours. We have stayed in many excellent hotels in Asia and Europe, and this hotel has definitely performed exceptionally well with irreplaceable advantages.

The hair dryer in the room is heavy and has weak wind, making it difficult to dry girls' long hair; We were arranged to have breakfast and dinner in the same room for two days, and it would be better if we had the opportunity to experience the dining area by the window.

The whole ryokan was exeptional! One of my favorite ryokans we stayed at, wish we could have stayed longer. Staff was nice and very helpful. I loved the extra touches, the lounge and the milk after your bath!

We had a wonderful time at Hidaji. The rooms and staff were amazing, and the food was unbelievable. We would definitely recommend to others.

They did an amazing job creating a relaxing environment with the in room onsen and the addition onsen areas. The meals were amazing and it was by far the best food of our entire 16 day trip in Japan

The food was amazing and the quantities of the multi course meals was almost too much. We didn’t want the food to go to waste so every meal we didn’t our best.

Absolutely incredible accommodation! The highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the best service we have ever encountered. Most of the staff spoke great English. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and a tasteful mix of modern and traditional Japanese styles. The hot spring in our room was so luxurious, but the private onsens were incredible. There are two, and they do not need to be reserved. The tablet provided in our room told us if they were occupied which made it easy. The views from these are spectacular, overlooking the mountains and a stream. Dinner and breakfast were made using local ingredients and were delicious. We had personal service during both meals and every item was described very thoroughly.

Everything was great! The private onsens were busy right before dinnertime, but we went early enough that it wasn't an issue!

Excellent experience from check-in through checkout!

Absolutely beautiful, we loved everything: attention to detail, beautiful decor, delicious food and great service. The private hot spring was just magical. I loved all the yukatas and pyjamas to wear. It felt like a proper experience. You can’t go wrong deciding to stay at Hidaji.

We loved everything

Cosy and quaint, in the Takayama woods, cushioned by wonderful mountains and lovely staff

Amazing place amazing staff. Very nice semi private onsen with view.

Easier to come with a car. Careful as this is a classic japanese place -> separate beds and fish for breakfast. But everything is of top quality.

This ryokan is phenomenal every step of the way. The staff are wonderful, kind, and very helpful. The hotel itself is beautiful and in a majestic location surrounded by mountains and rivers. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner are also delicious and everything was such amazing quality. Last but not least, the onsens were incredible and left us feeling refreshed and relaxed after long days of hiking. It was by far our favorite stay on our honeymoon!

The Ryokan is fairly traditional and old, which we enjoyed; however, that means that the beds were quite hard and the rooms were not very sound proofed. This isn’t a problem if you have quiet neighbors, but ours were very noisy. Just bring ear plugs in case! Also, since it is very scheduled, the location can be quite complicated to get to, so make sure to plan ahead!

Incredible experience. The dinner was unlike any I have had before and the service that came with it was exceptional. The private bath in the room was beautiful and the two public baths were also very nice.

Hard to be critical at all, other than the staff gave me an XXL robe which was way to big. I could have easily asked to exchange but it didn't bother me.

Great place to stay in hida onsen area

Quaint, super cozy and private with modern facilities. Amazing attentive and accommodating staff with little difficulty with language. Meals were beautifully curated without repetition for our 2 days stay.
