Find hotels near Takayama in Takayama, Japan

This was the first hotel we stayed during our 15 days trip in Japan and it was the best. It's walking distance to Takayama hotel and easy to get around Takayama. The breakfast was good with selection variety. We weren't sure why most of the restaurants were closed on Monday night (only a few were opened) so, if you decide to eat at the hotel then, it's best to reserve a table. There's a nearby Japanese BBQ restaurant to the hotel which was delicious and reasonable price too. The room we had was overlooked the mountain which was covered with snow, great view. It was a good size with comfy floor bed. Good layout. The best is their ONSEN facility. Also 3 private ONSEN, 2 smaller and 1 bigger. Try to wait for the bug one, specious if you're a couple. You're allowed 30 mins each session so, it's not bad yo wait. No need to pay extra and no reservation is needed. You're not allowed to wear your shoes inside the hotel which is understandable. They have shoes lockers which ate totally safe. The staffs speak English and friendly. The serve free soup noodle every nights.

Location is excellent , walking distance to Takayama station. Staff members are friendly,polite and helpful. This is the third time my husband and I stayed in this hotel. The room is clean. We were upgraded to a suite room which is so spacious and comfortable. The breakfast is very good. We will definitely stay in Best Western Takayama hotel again in our next visit..

The best located hotel in Takayama if you want to be near the railway station. We went to Shirakawago in the morning and returned in the early afternoon after leaving our luggage in the hotel The location is so convenient that we even had time for a bite before catching the train to Nagoya. The staff are also very helpful and the breakfast was ample and nice. Well worth the money spent.

The best location, right in front of JR Takayama St and Nohi Bus St.. Small and compact rooms, typical Japanese hotel rooms, but they are clean. Inside the room you got nice beds, bath tub, toilet, towels, hot water, mini fridge, TV, pretty decent amenities overall. Perfect to stay if you are going to visit Shirakawago. Be sure to check Takayama Oldtown just behind it and the local hida beef cuisine.

We booked the Green Hotel without much knowledge of the hotel or Takayama as a whole and had a lovely time. It was an offseason booking (late February) and we got a great deal on suite for us and the couple we were traveling with. Our rooms were quite large, including a full Western-style bedroom and bathroom plus tatami lounge/living space. Both of the hotel restaurants we tried (buffet and traditional Japanese) were excellent and offered good value. While I couldn't personally try out the onsen due to their (quite traditional and common) rules barring anyone with tattoos my wife went there multiple times in our two-night stay and loved it. The staff were also attentive and by and large quite comfortable dealing with guests who spoke little if any Japanese. If you're open to walking around a bit the Hida Takayama Folk Village and historic downtown district are both easily reached for a midday trip without bothering with a bus or taxi, and the train station is quite close by for arrival and departure trips. All in all I'd highly recommend the Takayama Green Hotel for anyone looking for a quiet, restful stop en route to Toyama or just looking to get out of the major cities and decompress for a while.

When we first arrived in Takayama we were surprised to find that the hotel was an hour bus ride away. However, it turned out to be one of our best experiences in Japan. The hotel was situated inside the snow fields. Whilst the temperature in Takayama was 33% the hotel area was only 19%. This meant we could enjoy the hot mineral baths especially the outdoor ones. The staff were fantastic and I would fully recommend having dinner at the hotel. We were served eight course meals which were amazing. We stayed two nights and the meals differed each night. We stayed in the Japanese Western rooms which were very spacious with lounge and separate bedroom and large bathroom with tub bath. We took a day trip to Takayama which is a really nice place but we were glad to get back to the hotel to enjoy this place.

We decided that we’d stay in the Hollywood 30 sq metre room as a treat for the night. It was a Monday night and the room rate was very reasonable compared to other hotels. Also my partner had an international interview so we needed a good wifi connection. I had no trouble occupying myself while he was busy, in the private onsen as well as watching the sun go down at the beautiful bar area with “ self playing” baby grand hotel upstairs overlooking Takayama and the surrounding mountains. Breakfast was great too. It was walking distance to JR train station and bus station which was perfect for us as we caught bus to Kamikochi the next day. The best hotel we stayed at in our 2 week trip hands down!

We enjoyed the service provided by the hotel the moment we got off the hotel shuttle. A bell boy immediately attended to us, directing us to the check-in counter and carrying our bags to us. After check-in, we were even led to our room by the bell-boy who briefed us on breakfast and amenities the hotel offers. The onsen was also a plus point for the hotel. There were various pools of onsen offered and my personal favourite was an infinity pool overlooking Takayama. The breakfast spread was also sumptuous, it had western and japanese food. The breakfast venue also made you feel like you are in for some fine-dining. It also has french windows that allowed you to take in the scenery of Takayama as you dine. While the price is rather steep, it is worth every single cent you spend.

Went here last night with my hubby, we ordered a room which apparently the best room in the ryokan. My room called Fuki (Room no 13), a spacious japanese room located on the Ground floor, with wooden bath, mini garden and patio for enjoying our green tea. Surprisingly, the room is extremely clean! Also the ryokan is located in the centre of Takayama.. very close to Morning Market, 5 min walk to Suzuya Restaurant (if you are looking for Halal certified Steakhouse) & 15min walk to the iconic Sanmachi Street. In addition, the owner - Akiko Tanabe, is also very friendly she greeted us at check in and check out time, she even gave as chopsticks as souvenirs at check-out!! While our stay, we experiencing sleep in Futon (japanese bed) on the floor! definitely satisfied with the ryokan and will come here again whenever I come to Takayama..

Hotel location is perfect! Easy to reach every attractions by walk! 中橋 Nakabashi Bridge just next beside, and so 上三之町 Kamisannomachi also, and Takayama Jinya高山陣屋 just at the opposite, all of them can be reached within 3 mins walk. 宮川朝市Miyagawa Morning Market 6-7mins by walk as well. We stayed at the room with river view, which was amazing!! facing the Nakabashi Bridge and beautiful colors of the fall leaves from Joyama Park!! View was perfect!! The hotel staffs were nice, services was good! When we arrived Takayama, we was surprised that there was a hotel staff pick-up at the bus station (we didn't request), and shuttle transfer to the bus station again when we check out, considerate service! Facilities will be prefect IF there was Open-Air Onsen , unfortunately they just have 2 indoor Onsen and environment was just ok, needs to be improved, better add one more Open-Air Onsen! Dinner and Breakfast were delicious, we like it very much. Overall, we love this hotel and will stay again

If you are thinking of visiting Takayama during your time in Japan (which you certainly should!!), this Ryokan is the place to stay. The location is awesome, do not be alarmed that it is a 15 minute walk from the JR station. The station itself is not in downtown Takayama, but Oyado Yoshinoya is in the perfect location, right in the downtown. A 7-11 is a 5 minute walk, too, so if you are a foreigner in need of cash or just looking for a cheap snack you're in luck. The place is immaculately clean. The bathrooms and toilets are shared but we never found them crowded even though we were there in cherry blossom season. There are 2 family baths (as opposed to gender-separated) which is great for couples and families, and the hours are very good compared to other ryokans (4-10 PM and 6-9 AM) so you can shower in the morning! In addition to all this, the staff is superb. They are constantly interacting with you, trying to give you help on where to visit in the city and restaurant recommendations, always saying goodnight, etc. They personally brought us coffee to our room every morning. The husband's english was enough to communicate with. Overall, great experience. Highly recommended!

We visited Takayama as a family with young children and J-Hopper provides one of the better services and value on my trip to Japan (we stayed in 4 other locations). When we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff (shout out to Keith, Ian and Matsu). J-Hopper has an elevator if you have bulky luggage to bring up to higher floors. We were given a spacious tatami room with en suite bathroom, so that's great! J-Hopper comes with a well maintained shared-kitchen, shared shower rooms (if you don't have an en suite) and pretty decent coin-operated washers and dryers. Upon entering the premises, no shoes are allowed but proper shoe cabinets are provided as well as clean slippers to use in their premises. In the living room area, there are lots of information on places to visit in Takayama as well as places around the Gifu prefecture. Staff are also helpful in showing you must-go places to eat and visit in Takayama. Location wise, it in a rather quiet area but fairly near distance from JR station, bus stop, shopping area and Takayama old village. We also bought discounted tickets from J-Hoppers for the Shirakawa-go tour and the English tour guide is entertaining and helpful. The only gripe we have is probably the tatami mat that sheds tiny pieces of weaving that get stuck on your socks and garment, which is common for more tatami mats. Otherwise, all in all, we higher recommend J-Hoppers Hida Takayama. We will return to J-Hopper if we do go back to Takayama to see Shirakawa-go for the January light show.

first time in takayama, i choose hodakaso yamano-iori with private bathroom. i want to try japanese traditional house that near the station. because if we wanted to go anywhere else all transport such as buses and trains is in the station. evidently, the location is also close to many place else like bars mini market and restaurants. this place is cute, we were greeted when we came and my name written on the board of the entrance. the facility was awesome. the room is quiet big enough. toilet and bathroom were seperate. there is also an onsen at the ground floor. value for money! definitely would go back again if visiting takayama.

Super hospitality and very detailed services from every staff. They recognize every guest's shoes when you are going out side. Your shoes will be ready for you. Our butler is Yukimi San, superb service. She gave us chocolate for the Valentine's Day. My wife recommend the 100years old relax kura for lady only. Breakfast and dinner were delicately prepared and served. They also have pick up and drop off from hotel to Takayama train station. Wearing japanese traditional dress and walk out side during snow fall is unforgettable experience for foreigners and great for taking picture too. Our room has a wooden private bathtub with window open to see view of the snow fall and the city while bathing. However it is not spring water, it is regular water for bathing, private bathing while watching snowfall over Takayama city is priceless. Lastly, Isite.com tour to the world heritage, shirakawago, also pick up and drop off right at hotel front door. All in all unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

We were a group of 6 keen to visit Takayama and have a traditional Japanese Inn experience. We booked the family room with two western beds and 4 futon beds on tatami floor. We loved the Onsen experience and breakfast in the dining room, wearing our Yukata given to us to use during our stay. The staff were very friendly and everything spotless and clean. Complimentary drinks and snacks in our room was a nice touch. Beautiful authentic interior reception area with lots of interesting local draft to view/purchase. We felt the overall price was on the high side, but worth it for the authentic Japanese experience. Thank you for making our stay in Takayama so special.

We stayed at K's House Takayama Oasis in a Japanese style room with attached bathroom and toilet. We had great and comfortable experience with Japanese futon and the room is very spacious and can easily fit 4 people. It took us only 2 minutes walk from Takayama train station to K's House, very nice location and close to supermarket and attractions and pretty much everything. The next morning we had to checkout pretty early so we dropped the key into the keybox and left our luggages in the room (we asked earlier if we can leave the luggage at the reception and the receptionist was very nice and told us to just leave our luggages in our room and pick them up later). Overall, we love our stay at K's House Takayama Oasis, the atmosphere was very nice and calm and worth the price.

It takes about an hour by bus from Takayama to get to Okada Ryokan - at the Hirayu Onsen stop. But it is worth it; especially if peace and quiet is what you are looking for. The bus ride to the hotel is also very scenic - so, enjoy the ride! The ryokan hotel is rather well appointed and the staff really pay attention to details. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Everyone was so polite and helpful. I will definitely like to stay at Okada again if ever I get to travel to Japan again in future. Breakfast menu could be improved though - as I felt it was a bit bland. But it was very traditional though. And the rooms where the breakfast was served had a marvellous view. Thank you Okada Ryokan !

I am a big fan of K's House in Japan. This time I heard they have several branches in Japan and will open a branch in New Zealand! Each K's House has own concept! I've been to one in Kyoto and this time in Takayama. Both I love them 200%. Takayama is famouse its gorgeously marbled beef, similar to Wagyu. Many restaurants around K's House offer that beef menu but very expensive. The cheapeast but one of the best ways you can enjoy the beef is buying it from supermarket and cook it at K's House. Me, my husband and my friend walked about 15 min to a big supermarket and bought fresh ingridents including the beef and drinks about 5000 yen. We tried our best to finish all foods!!! While we're preparing your meal, very nice staff came frequently to us and gave advice how to cook and one staff shared her home-made yummy dessert! We went in Feb. very cold there. But indoor is warm and their bedding is super! Walking only 5 min, you can reach to the historic areas.

Really liked the place, will definitely stay again. Amazing views of Takayama, park at the door steps, amazing onsen onsight, very good traditional breakfast. Felt like real Japan. Very nice staff. I am coming back to Takayama, planning to stay there again. One of the best places I've stayed in Japan on this trip. It is a walk steep uphill, so if you have big suitcases and walking - it will be a workout. I love hiking, so it was just a nice challenge for me, not an obstacle. Onsen has open air option where you can see the entire city, day or night. My room had private onsen as well. Bath products are from Pola, which is a luxury hair and skin care line in Japan. Room is very clean and warm, yokata, towels, toothbrush are provided. They took mu luggage earlier no problem. I have stayed at another property for 1 night as this place was booked, and can truly say I liked it much more, although the other property was higher star rating and more expensive. Definitely staying again!

The Minshuku Kuwataniya Ryokan really suited our family of 5 (3 daughters aged 13, 10 and 6). It was by far the most economical accommodation we could find for the 5 of us in Takayama. The girls really enjoyed the Kimonos and Onsen. As a bonus, the location of the Ryokan is excellent, 5 mins walk from train station and 5-10 mins walk from most of the city attractions in Takayama and the best restaurant in Takayama is just around the corner. Although the English of the hosts was not very good they did everything to help us enjoy our stay. I would highly recommend for large families to stay here.

love love love the outdoor hot springs. it was snowing in Jan when i visited them and it is a great experience to be soaking in the hot spring, watching the snow and snow-covered surroundings. food is nice and staff are nice too and they offered to drive you up to Shinhotaka Roepway and fetch you back. there is also a bus stop too where bus can reach there from Takayama Bus Centre.

Overall I had a good stay at this ryokan. The traditional breakfast was really good, and if you want to try it you need to make sure you reserve it with your stay. It’s served at 7:30am everyday in the dining room downstairs. The onsens are wonderful and I tried all three of them while I was there. They are open 24 hours, but they might be closed for cleaning between 8:30 - 11 am. The owners do not speak English at all so be prepared for that; I think they appreciate you trying to communicate in Japanese and to be friendly and thankful to them. The woman came off very grumpy at first, but by the end of my stay we got along really well. Both the woman and man sat down to talk with me a couple times while I was taking my shoes on/off, and although we had to translate a LOT, it was really cute and nice that they took the time to do that... I messed up an had to make two separate reservations and because of that I stayed in both the Yamayuri and the Kobushi rooms. I would not recommend the Yamayuri room because the window is out over the ryokan entrance and guests/others are quite loud. The ryokan is not well insulated so I was able to hear everything going on at the inn. Bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. They give you a very thin mattress pad, a sheet, and a rice pillow... it was very hard for me to sleep comfortably. It’s standard across ryokans, so I had to try it, but I definitely needed extra padding and my backpacking pillow. The bus station is close by and I was able to do day trips to Komakochi and Shinhotaka. Overall great location!

Hirata Kan is not a new hotel in Hirayu. However, they will make you feel great by their service. All staff are well-trained and have excellent attitude. Staff are prompt to answer any questions and eager to help you. The meals are wonderful especially the special 'Flowers of Hida Honey' which will be provided along with the breakfast; DO NOT MISS IT since the master of Hirata Kan is an active honey maker.I would definitely recommend this to my friends.

I arrived at around 10am on the second day of the Takayama Autumn Festival, and the kind staff took in my luggage for safekeeping and gave me a map and directions to the festival location. the hotel itself was easy to find, about 10 minutes walk from Takayama station and plenty of restaurants nearby. the double bed was quite large & comfy, the facilities were clean and adequate amenities were provided. sadly, there was no wi-fi, but there is a computer in the lobby for public use. I loved walking around the area, with its quiet neighborhood and tranquil atmosphere. It's a lovely town worth the visit, and if I come back, I will gladly stay at this hotel again.

Loved how they gave you discounts to other things like the spa across the street. Staff was super friendly and kind. They also have the best bike rental service in Takayama. Renting bikes from them are super cheap, and you can pay for the service after using the bike if no one is there. Just sign your name in the guest book and pay later. The beds were made for you! Thank you so much. I had no clue how to make a Japanese-stylized bed in some of my other hostels. I was also tired after getting in bed and had no energy to make one after going out all day. I was also happy to see that there were two electrical outlets provided for people in their beds. Some of my other hostels didn't have those, which really shocked me when I was there. They handed out maps to people and also took the time to give me some recommendations of the area :') so sweet. Arigatou. I also had fun talking to them!!

Ouka Hotel Takayama is the best hotel we stayed so far in Japan. It is located quite convenient, about 10 min straight walk from Takayama Station, on the main road of Takayama. Right beside the hotel, there is Seven Eleven where you could buy snacks or quick grab breakfast. The first thing you notice is how it feels like home, when you enter the hotel, they provide a shoes rack to put on your shoes and change to their comfy slippers (not some cheap thin one). The receptionist, Mr.Manabu, speaks fluent English and very friendly, he give some helpful suggestion about where to go and visit in Takayama. There are also some information about Tourist attraction, place to eat (and how much it will cost) on their bulletin board. There are living room where you could interact with fellow traveller and also kitchen with free tea and coffee. We (3 male adults) stay in superior Japanese room with inside bathroom. The room is quite spacious with japanese tatami style and futon. There is also small balcony inside our room and the bathroom is completed with a bathtub. They also provide free earplug and comfy thick yukata, just in case if you need one. But the most interesting thing I found is a hand-written personal welcome note with my name on it. Very very nice touch and excellent personal service! They have washing machine and dryer for you to use (with small cost). I really recommend this hotel if you want to explore Takayama and Shirakawago. I definitely will stay again in Ouka Hotel Takayama.

My husband and I stayed there for one night before heading to Shirakawago the next day. It’s a lovely traditional ryokan feeling homey and cozy, tucked away in the mountain with amazing surroundings! We were so pleased to find a small onsen outside the room which we enjoyed so much! The downside is it took one and half hours on the bus from Takayama bus terminal costing JPY2000ish per person one way so it’d be JPY8000+ on top taking three hours of your time on the bus. Not recommended if you have a tight schedule like us. Also we paid JYP5000 each extra to have the hida beef 12 course kaiseki menu. It was set in private dining room, quiet and peaceful. Being big foodies like me and my husband, we found the first few courses absolutely delicious including the Hida beef, but my serve of the cuts were uneven with two slices very thin comparing to my husband’s, not the precision you after in Japanese cuisine. I’m afraid the last three courses were very disappointing being a bowl of rice, a miso soup (only soup) and a scoop of vanilla ice cream as dessert. After those wonderful courses, you were not expecting to have a single scoop of ice cream as dessert to finish your meal. They could do better. Other than that, we did find a few bugs in the corridor and on staircases, you just got to watch your steps when walking around. The walls are thin that we could hear our neighbors’ movement. Luckily they did not sleep too late so we ok. Indeed it’s a lovely Ryokan with good atmosphere but with room for improvement.
