This is a real japanese style hotel, different from the other buildings around, from the street you wouldn't guess it's there, between all the other houses. It's small, it consists in the building itself and a small garden/entrance area that you can see in the picture - and that's it, there's nothing else. It's very old, I don't think it has ever seen a renovation of any sort (everything seems to be from the begining, the room phone is actually that one with the wheel!).There is an onsen inside the building. It seems to be a family bussiness, and owners very nice and present all the time.

Onsen isn't impressive, but good temperature. Shower in our room was disappointing. Very unreliable water temperature. More cold than warm. Hot water pressure seemed to be the problem. Especially during hours that many people would wash. Didn't have this issue in the public onsen though.

Great location and free parking. Beautiful room. Really comfortable and nice beds. Nice staff. Wish I had known earlier about the coffee in the lobby!

Great Onsen! It's shared, but if you go early or late you can have it for yourselve. Else, great hotel.

It is a very charming and welcoming hotel, that follows the (I assume) traditional Japanese rituals; with a few number of rooms, it has a cozy atmosphere; I had a good time in the public baths.

The lovely welcome from the owners, comfortable beds…

Decor is a bit tired, but doesnt impact negatively on the experience, and everything is spotlessly clean

Excellent traditional Japanese style location, comfortable futons, great onsen, big rooms for Japan

The only shortcoming of the hotel is there is no lift. Our rooms were on third floor, if I knew there is no lift I would ask the hotel to arrange one room on the first floor as my father has arthritis and it is very very difficult for him to climb the stairs

The hotel is well maintained, the room is comfortable. location is excellent. The staff are very helpful

Very basic room in comparison to other hotels that charge less. Paying for the Onsen I think.

Great location. Great staff. Onsen was nice.

It's a little hotel but the hotel decoration is very beautiful. The Concierge is very nice. The room is clean. There are tea and snacks in the room. There are a set of Yukata to change. There is a private toilet. There is a hot spring bath in the shared bath.

This place is beautiful ! Everyone should definitely stay here if they come to Takayama ! It was more lovely than I could have imagined. It felt so traditional and warm and smelled amazing ! It’s everything I imagined a ryokan to be. The owners are so respectful , hospitable, kind, and helpful ! It was a wonderful experience ! So quiet and relaxing

Tidy, clean and warm. A lovely staying in a typical Japanese house, right in center of Takayama.

No food service, however, loads of food choices nearby.

A beautiful ryokan tucked in a quiet street. Staff don’t speak English but they were helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend and would stay again. The onsen experience was great!

There was some large water stains on the roof of the room. When the hairdryer was plugged in to use in the shared bathroom it affected the lights, which made me a bit nervous.

Very close to the station. The names of the guests on the front board was a nice touch. Fun to see your own name there. It's a very old building in need of some TLC but it did exactly what we needed, which was a place to crash for the night.

Comfy beds. Loved it all

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.

showers only available at the onsen. I believed was a separated room. Not great inconvenience though.

lovely place
