Takayama stopover
It was a ryokan but really small to be advertised suitable for 3 persons.The walls were really thin and noises from the adjoining room was fortunately stopped by front desk. Sufficient to sleep but not luxuriate in.

I hadn’t realized this was a ryokan (or perhaps ryokan like). The rooms were traditional with a lovely seating area and there was tea and croissants. The Onsen was lovely! The shower/bathroom in the room had questionable water pressure and there was definite air in the lines causing it to blast out or be inconsistent. The rooms are a bit dated (rotary phones! Ha!), but the location was great and overall it was a positive experience. Having my name on the entry and on a shelf for slippers in the entry was a sweet touch.

This was a lovely stay in a spacious room. The fridge and AC were great additions. The staff was very friendly, and they were very kind when I asked for a larger hall jacket. The location was amazing, and I spent most of my time walking around nearby. It was quiet and well priced!

Good sized room and relatively easy to find however, for some reason they were not serving breakfast on either of the two morning I was there. Part of the fun of staying in a ryokan is to enjoy traditional food so I was a little disappointed by this aspect. On the positive side, the room was a very good size and typical ryokan style. The sento bath was good and included in the price.

Good location but tired property
A good location but a tired property. The staff were very helpful. Although there wan’t a public lift, they took our heavy suitcase up to our 3rd floor room in the staff elevator. The room was spacious - more so than any other more modern hotel room we have stayed in Japan. The mattress on the floor was a foldable one which meant it had ridges which made it uncomfortable to sleep on. The worst aspect, however, was the shower in our private bathroom. No water pressure and the water temperature fluctuated constantly between hot and cold.......we called it the torture chamber!

Comfortable in a great location
We stayed one night in a room with a private bath . The room size was excellent including a seating area for two over looking a small private courtyard. Very comfortable however the hotel is looking tired and old so would not rate as 4 star . I think to be fair 3 star. But was charged 4 star rate . The Japanese breakfast was fantastic and a wonderful experience for us and would highly recommend. Location was excellent just 5 mins walk from train station very easy flat walk

Never come again! Poor quality and OLD
The staff are cold and unfriendly. The receptionist just simply say a few sentence and does not welcome us to visit. Her attitude is really bad and does not introduce the facilities and how to access our room. In the whole stay, she never says “thank you” and we did have hard feeling. The food is fair but the quality of the hotel is bad. It looks very old and dirty. You can find many flaws, dust and dirt inside the room. There is NO LIFT inside the hotel so you have to carry luggage by yourself and no one would help you. When we checked out, no one says good bye or thank you to us which is the basic manner or normal culture from JP. We paid almost 1k for each night while other hotel could offer a better attitude, quality and facilities with This price. Please avoid to book this hotel if you want to have a happy and enjoyable stay because you will feel unwelcome and sleep on a small, dirty and uncomfortable bed. I hope the owner could improve the quality and train the staff more to at least “act like friendly” since the experience is really bad to us!

Close to JR Takayama Station and Nohi Bus Centre for the bus to Shirakawago. Breakfast was beautifully presented. You have a choice of either Japanese or Continental breakfast. You get asked for your choice each morning at breakfast for the next day. Even if you choose the same style of breakfast, you won't get the same dishes as the actual items on your breakfast change every day. That is a nice touch. The room is so roomy (the biggest room on this trip). We booked the Japanese-Western Style rooms with private bath that can fit three twin beds. We asked for two rooms on the second or third floor next to each other or close to each other. We got two rooms on the third floor next to each other, thank you. The bed was very comfortable with the warm and fluffy blanket. We knew there was no lift. My elderly parents walked slowly going up and down the stairs. And the bathroom and the bedroom have a step up from the front entrance area to the room. That required a bit of getting used to. If you are travelling with elderly people, please bear that in mind. Overall, we had fun staying in this ryokan and it was a memorable experience, especially when I was running late for breakfast and I had to run down the stairs into the breakfast room skipping across the tatami mat. There was a kind of an echo from the floor reminding me of certain scenes from the Studio Ghibli anime My Neighbour Totoro.

Very affordable ryokan near the train station and walkable distance to nearby attractions. Stayed in the Shared Bath and Toilet room. The toilet is right outside our room, whereas the shared bath is on level 1, which gave us reasons to walk around wearing the yukata (provided). Totally exceeded our expectations for the price!

Good location, ard 7 mins by walk from bus and train station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. However, there is no toilet in room, not convenient even public toilet just next to the room. The toilet next to the room is japanese style, not convenient also.
