The service we received from this hotel is of next level. We could not be more satisfied. The dinner and breakfast are so good, we even got our private room for 2 for both meals.

The dinner is a bit disappointed. The sashimi seems comes out from frozen food and no taste of fish at all.
In general, the staff service is great. Maybe I will stay there next time but without meal at all.
Every detail of this experience was amazing. It is a one of a kind experience, from the location, room/amenities, service, and food. Loved our stay. Highly recommend.
Excellent Ryokan with first class service and superb dining (beautifully presented and delicious breakfast and kaiseki dinner if choosing the half board option). Room was immaculately clean and decorated in tasteful traditional style. A very enjoyable stay.
Loved this ryokan. The food was exceptional. Staff was great. Very convenient location to walk around Takayama. The free shuttle to the station was nice.
Excellent location walkable to all main areas and restaurants. 10 min walk to JR and bus station but they offer complimentary private shuttle to and from station. Staff is very attentive to every detail. From pick up at the station to checkin, dinner and breakfast and throughout the stay. Service is very personalized and knows the needs of each guest. They have a very nice women’s onsen however need to go outside across the street. Fully equipped amenities in the public baths. Food was excellent with the best ingredients all from local sources. We stayed 3 nights but only had one dinner and wished we had for an extra meal. Breakfast was large in portions with lots of detail and thoughtfulness. Delicious and nutritious!! Traditional Japanese rooms were spacious and had comfortable tatamis. Definitely recommended for a nice relaxing time in Takayama!!
Best Ryokan for my trip! Everything is just perfect. The Onsen is great and clean. Staff are friendly, helpful and happy. Food is amazing. I am already planning my next trip to stay here a bit longer, say 4-5 nights.
Location is amazing. All the stores were walking distance, practically at your doorstep. Service was impeccable. The ryokan provides transportation to and frm train station. There are 3 onsen affiliated w this ryokan. One on property and 2 across the street. They provide yukata in your room. Would recommend one Japanese style dinner and breakfast on site. It’s a wonderful experience. I would love to come back for the service and the location convenience. Beautiful place to stay.
10/10, worth every penny!!! The ultimate ryokan experience. Every details and aspects of the stay is warm and comfortable. From the moment you enter the door, you are greeted the most welcoming staff. The room is spacious, clean, and full of Japanese details. The meals are abundant and delicious, every dish is a work of art. There are 3 onsens to choose from, each one is super clean and filled with amenities. The location is the ryokan is a 10 minute walk from the Takayama station and right in the heart of the old town.

Convenient location. Japanese style--prepare to sleep on futon on the floor. There is a onset bath in the ryokan.
Fantastic stay at a traditional ryokan. Service was exceptional, food absolutely delicious and it felt exclusive. The onsen was great and I will totally recommend.
Wow - where do I start? This was an amazing place. Our first experience of a Ryokan but we were truly impressed from the reception on arrival with drum, to the superb rooms, the extremely attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The food was exceptional and can revommend both the onsens and the in room Chiatsu massage
