Great baths
great bath, friendly owners, very quiet
7
Located a bit away from the action in a residential neighborhood of Takayama, it's a bit of a walk to get downtown, but a pleasant morning walk to the market. We had two traditional Japanese rooms, but without the meal plan. So once we checked in and got oriented, we were pretty much on our own and did not see the staff unless we rang their bell. The best thing is the bath - an indoor rock pool with hot waterfall where several people could soak for as long as they wished. There was also a small outdoor wooden tub, but it was only large enough for one person at a time.

Simple and Comfortable hotel
Free shuttle to train station available, nice staff, cosy room
6.7
The hotel is a little far from the Takayama train station, but the host was very nice and they would ask about your departure time and would offer free shuttle to the station as far as possible. Only shared bathroom and shared toilet are available. 15-minute walk to the famous Miyagawa morning market.

Lovely little place
Nice proprietors, decent location, decent rooms
7.7
Liked the place. It's a little far from the train station, maybe 30 minutes-- I wouldn't want to walk it, especially with luggage-- but it's decently placed with respect to the central town area. (About 30 minutes walking from the minshuku to the other end of town, I'd estimate.) The room was decent sized and the noiseproofing was actually not bad-- there was a group of drunk tourists singing downstairs and we could barely hear them up in our room. The baths were nice, especially the outdoors one (only big enough for one person and no one inside can really see you, too, if you're shy.) The food was-- well, very traditional Japanese, and not really my thing, but it wasn't bad-- some of the cooked fish was especially good, and so was the nabe. It was served in the common room downstairs, altho we were the only two there at the time. If you like traditional Japanese food I'd get it. Otherwise, up to you.
Futon was not, unfortunately, super comfortable, even with an extra pad added underneath, and they use the buckwheat pillows, which I'm not fond of. People staying there seemed about 75% foreigners 25% Japanese, so if you're looking for a place to get to know the natives, this is probably not it. Still, overall I like it, and would probably stay here again. And the proprietors really open up if you can speak any Japanese.

Basic, family run inn in Takayama
free bicycle use, free train station pick up and drop off, great dinner set
8
This is a lovely, family run, minshuku. The rooms and bathrooms were basic but clean and well looked after. We stayed in for dinner one evening and had a lovely meal. They had many bicycles that we were able to use to get everywhere we wanted. They also offer free pick up and drop off from the train station. There is little to no English but we didn't find that we needed it at all.

good value, amazing food, lovely couple running the place
9.7
we stayed here for 2 nights and enjoyed it very much. The food was very well done - all in traditional japanese style. The couple who run the place were very helpful and gave us everything we needed. they also had a mini-van which they used to drop up to the train station and in to town free of charge! this place is as good as any ryokan in takayama.

Agradable experiencia para conocer hotel económico
Muy bien situado, te prestan bicicletas para moverte en la ciudad, te llevan a la central de trenes o autobuses
6.7
Nosotros nos hospedamos aquí porque queríamos la experiencia de un hotel tipo Japón, era el único que tenía espacio disponible, es una casa que tiene habitaciones tipo Japonés , duermes en el suelo i con edredones de pluma.
Tiene dos baños pequeños tipo Japón
El personal amable pero no habla nada absolutamente nada de inglés,
Si te hospedas aquí te conviene reservar con alimentos incluidos, desayuno y cena, en el pueblo cierran temprano y no hay opciones para cenar.
Te prestan bicicletas para recorrer el pueblo.
