The ryokan offers a beautiful onsen with old Japanese style, but the rooms were very small and in need of refurbishment, even the deluxe room we booked. The location is perfectly near the train station, although the area around the hotel may seem a bit drab. Dining options were excellent with a wide variety of choices, but the price might not match the premium quality of some items.

The hotel is conveniently located near the train station and street markets, making it an excellent choice for easy access around Takayama. The rooms, while slightly run down and small for multiple bags, offer essential amenities like a private shower and a small refrigerator, though they may benefit from a modernization soon. The service stands out for being welcoming and accommodating, especially arriving late at night, but there were minor issues like inflexible breakfast hours and finding leftover rubbish in the room. The dining options, with a mix of Japanese and western dishes, are good but relatively smaller compared to other hotels, also offering affordable choices like fish and vegetables. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and friendly service, though some aspects may need improvement.

I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the train and bus stations, which was very convenient. The service from the staff was top-notch, they were caring and generous, making me feel welcome. The room had a unique half Japanese style, but it was slightly small and lacked WiFi connection. The dining options were good, offering a nice selection of both Western and Japanese food. However, the reception desk could be more customer-friendly.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The beautiful and traditional room offered a great view of the town and surrounding mountains, but the proximity to the train line and noisy air conditioner detracted from the experience. The smoky environment was also a downside, but the comfortable beds made up for it.

I stayed in a very beautiful and traditional room with a great view over the town and the surrounding mountains. The twin room had two low but very comfy beds, a desk area, a sitting area with a couch and coffee table, and a large TV.
