The hotel offers really nice and zen-ish rooms that are very comfortable and spacious, providing a simple and relaxing experience with superb showers. The service is top-notch with influences of local design and a very relaxing ambience at the public bath area. The location is perfect for sightseeing with good free-flow beer and sake at night, although a bit of a walk from the station. The dining experience, while without a Western-style breakfast, is good in the shared communal space.

The hotel offers beautiful and spacious rooms that are very big and clean, with complimentary sake, coffee, and teas available all day. The service is beyond helpful and the staff is extremely friendly. The location is perfect, situated in the very center of Takayama and just across the street from Sanmachi Suji. The dining experience is available only Japanese style, which may be a bit tough on kids. Overall, a great value for money option with a cozy communal space for light and healthy meals.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were not only spacious and clean but also beautiful and comfortable. The service was top-notch with incredibly friendly staff, and the location was perfect, especially being close to the old streets. However, the strictly Japanese style dining might not suit everyone, and a more varied breakfast could enhance the experience.
