    Clean hotel, very professional staff & comfortable location next to the beautiful river. Reasonably large rooms for a futon available. Location not far from quiet neigborhood and the historical center. For shots visit Sakurajaya, nestled within 20 minutes' walk of the venue: )

    Our twin room with a big bathroom was unique. The venue was set in the central position just next door to sightseeing areas and the river.

    My family and I recently stayed at a fantastic little inn in Takayama. The staff were incredibly friendly and the amenities were great, including laundry facilities, tea and coffee, and a fully stocked kitchen. The warm common room was a cozy retreat during the winter, and we even had the opportunity to cook over the firepit. The location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk from shops and restaurants but still peaceful and secluded. I highly recommend this inn for anyone visiting Takayama.

    100% Recommend this hotel.

    The traditional old guest house was a nice touch. The place attracts a good sort of crowd and you forget sometimes that it’s been standing since 1927. The staff are amazing and even went above and beyond to help mail my passport when I left it behind. The room is very clean and pleasant. The kitchen and kitchenware are almost professional so I highly recommend it for long-stay guests or someone who loves cooking. The hostel is in a quiet neighborhood next to the beautiful river. I'll recommend this place for its charm and helpful staff.

    Great spot near the river here. We really loved staying in a twin room that came with a beautiful Japanese garden 🌿, cozy futon beds, and even a fireplace for added charm.

    I had an amazing stay at this guesthouse! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed and showed me around. The private room I booked turned out to be very spacious, with a comfortable futon and all the necessary amenities. The shower room was also big and clean. The location of the guesthouse was perfect, just a short walk from the station and close to the beautiful river. It was also conveniently located near the shrine where the autumn festival is held. The hotel facilities, including the traditional fireplace room and well-equipped kitchen, were impressive. The staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and even provided free Japanese snacks. this was one of the best places I've stayed in Japan.

    Nothing bad to say.

    Comfortable room with a good size and great heating. The bed was comfy, and I had control over the room temperature. Also, there was a nice writing desk. The location was super convenient, just a few steps from everywhere I needed to get to. 😊
