Renovated in 2015, IORI Stay is nestled in Takayama. This traditional Japanese-style townhouse was created in collaboration with local artists and boasts designs with both modern and traditional Japanese influence. Guests will have the entire property to themselves during their stay.

Such a memorable stay in the middle of an iconic area. The welcome by the hosts was so warm and we loved the interior design of the space so much. The building g is an ode to Japanese design and featured amazing amenities like a Japanese hinoki wood tub plus local Hida Furniture from Kashiwa.

So, the entire apartment is at ground level with sleeping room upstairs. It’s a quiet location on a creek with park areas across the street. The public bath across the street is great and inexpensive (male/ female separate, tattoos ok, free lockers, nude).

Popular points of interest near the villa include Yoshijima Heritage House, Sakurayama Hachiman Shrine and Takayama Festival Float Exhibition Hall. The nearest airport is Toyama Airport, 83 km from TANIYA.

The building itself, as you can see from the pictures, is exquisite. If you are a fan of architecture or traditional craftsmanship, you will delight at just BEING in Taniya. This was almost a problem—I'm used to thinking of a hotel as a "crash pad" while exploring, and instead I wanted to spend hours and hours inside! Each morning was calm and peaceful: make a cup of green tea, then observe the way the light plays through the washi, the sound of water rushing by. I also particularly loved the bath; one of my favorite memories was enjoying it on a rainy, chilly night. We got home from dinner, I used the auto-fill function while I got ready for bed, then opened the window onto the courtyard and stepped in. Watching the moon through the rain, maple leaves, and steam curling up from the bath... it's like having your own personal onsen. Plus, each item in the villa was thoughtfully chosen, from the local sakes on offer in the fridge to the items provided in the bathroom to the super-soft pajamas. Even better were our hosts, who exemplified the Japanese concept of "omotenashi" (essentially, "hospitality" taken to its highest level). Well before arrival we were working with the Taniya concierge to make our plans happen (many thanks to Mahiro!). She handled making reservations at our desired restaurants and travel around town was provided as needed. Where she truly excelled was helping us troubleshoot our more ambitious ideas, such as: is there an open-air onsen near the Shinhotaka Ropeway with private baths? And how do we get there and back? The Kusakabe family were also gracious and friendly hosts, helping us along with the concierge and sharing their knowledge of Japan and Takayama plus their personal history—talking with them and touring the Folk Crafts Museum was a particular highlight, as many of the items on display are Kusakabe family heirlooms.

The spacious holiday home has 2 bedrooms, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave and a toaster, a washing machine, and 1 bathroom with a hot tub. The holiday home offers bed linen, towels and laundry service.

Such a unique and amazing experience staying at this hotel. My friends and I really enjoyed staying here. It was in a great location within the city where you can visit the many markets and shops in town. The house was very spacious with two floors and lots of unique art pieces that were in the previous museum. Definitely one of the best hotels I’ve stated in my life. We really love the added plus of having a projector at the hotel, it was great to play videos and music after coming home to the hotel at the end of a busy and cold day in the snow. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Takayama.

Set in Takayama, near Yoshijima Heritage House, Sakurayama Hachiman Shrine and Takayama Festival Float Exhibition Hall, Tabino Shiori - Vacation STAY 83814 features free WiFi. The property is around 3.5 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village, 49 km from Gero Station and 600 metres from Fuji Folk Museum. The property is 800 metres from the city centre and 1.3 km from Takayama Station.

I highly recommend Tabino Shiori when you are visiting Takayama. We stayed here during the autumn festival in Takayama. The location is fantastic, super close to the shrine and all the festival events and markets. It is in the middle of all the traditional houses and streets and the house itself is super beautiful as well. The hosts are truly amazing people. They are so friendly and welcoming. We felt right at home. They also provided the option to have a traditional diner upon arrival the first day. We did this and have no regrets. It was delicious and a fun experience. The house was also very clean, there was a small kitchen and a very nice modern bathroom. I will definitely stay here again!

    This is potentially a charming property, the room has a ryokan style, you get kimonos, etc. but unfortunately it has definitely seen better days. The structure felt overall quite dated and the most disappointing thing was that our room was dusty and not cleaned properly, something quite unusual in Japan, where standards are very high. Breakfast quality was not on par with the price we paid. The internal onsen was very pleasant.

    So cozy especially given that outside is raining and cold. I have given up eating outside for dinner and breakfast, but just buy from convenience store and eat in the room desk while watching tv. The onsen is also my first time experience and it’s super relaxing.

    COMFY BEDS 🙌 (unusual in Japan in my experience so far, but my back and hips are recovered after 3 nights here!) So so clean. The privacy of a capsule with a curtain and cosy bed 'compartment', but a lovely lovely shared space where I met lots of people. Fab kitchen facilities. Great location (5 mins walk from train and bus station, right in the town). Good bathroom facilities.

    The room is big, clean and cozy, just like a small apartment, where I could do laundry and simple cooking during my stays. The hotel is just within 5 mins walking distance to nohi bus terminal and train station, there are restaurants, shops, supermarket and Macdonald nearby. By getting access voucher from the staff at front desk, I also used the public onsen for free at Wat Hotel and Spa. It’s worth for try (although it took about 10 mins to walk over) as it has sauna, indoor and outdoor bath.
