The hot spring was very good hot water and it was good that I didn't have to bring a towel from the room.
I thought it would be nice to have a sauna room without a TV and no shelf for personal items such as water and towels.
Perhaps because it was a weekday, the bath was empty and I was able to warm up slowly.
The breakfast venue was also delicious, probably because of the time selection system, and the freshly made tempura and homemade curry were also delicious without jagging.
I recently stayed at this hotel and was thoroughly impressed. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. The onsen was a highlight—clean, well-maintained, and incredibly relaxing. The accommodation was spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. Highly recommended for those seeking a serene and luxurious experience!
The lake view room has a beautiful view. The room is clean and comfortable. I stayed for two nights. There are many choices for breakfast and dinner. The taste is good. You can taste local specialty ingredients. The dinner on the second night was richer than the first night.
I recently had the opportunity to stay at an onsen hotel, and I must say, my experience was somewhat disappointing. While the hotel had many appealing features, several aspects fell short of expectations.
Firstly, the hotel's policy requiring guests to walk barefoot or in socks was problematic due to the cleanliness of the floors. The surfaces did not seem well-maintained, which detracted from the overall experience.
I was particularly let down by the private bath. The two only available tubs was filled with bleach, which was concerning and not suitable for relaxation. Additionally, there were no shower facilities provided for rinsing off before or after soaking in the onsen. This made the experience less enjoyable, as I couldn't clean myself immediately before or after enjoying the hot springs.
Furthermore, the reservation system for the private baths was poorly organized. There was no clear queue, leading to confusion and frustration among guests who were waiting their turn.
Overall, the taste of dinner and breakfast was average, but the environment and service was quite good.
Although the hotel offered many attractions and amenities, the execution left much to be desired. Overall, my stay was a case of having high expectations that were not met. I hope the hotel can improve these aspects in the future to provide a better experience for its guests.
The hotel is very unique and has a 170-year history!
On the day of check-in, the hotel was very considerate and sent red bean rice cake soup. The room we stayed in was very comfortable, and the bathroom had a private bath so we could soak in the hot spring anytime. Both breakfast and dinner are very special. Dinner is Kaiseki cuisine with delicious Hida beef. Every dish is very delicious. The boss also came to take pictures for us and printed them out for me the next day! In summary, the hotel is very comfortable to stay in, and the service is very satisfactory and considerate!
Love their hotel size, amenities. The onsen, providing Kose sekkisei products for guests, was a bonus! Pola hair products were amazing, too.
Laundry self-help room is situated at level 1 which was really thoughtful, and they have free flow sake, soft drinks and small selection of snacks. Another bonus!
Location
I can see why this new hotel is popular. It is just mins walk to old town and restaurants. Menya Shirakawa a short 5 mins stroll away and also short 3 min walk from Takayama station, if you arrive by train and bus station.
It is exactly next to JR station and bus station. Very convenience. The room is huge, and there is a washing machine and microwave in the room.
They implemented the exo-friendly concept, so housekeeping is limited, and amenities provided in the lobby that you can take as per your needs.
It’s a large onsen hotel and close proximity to the station and shopping street. Everything is very organised arrangement for hot spring time, dinner and breakfast time. My family and I enjoyed those three different hot spring facilities very much. Hotel provided free shuttle bus for pick up and no reservation is required.
This is a very good hotel for a road trip tourists. There is a big parking lot but it’s not free. There are 3 shops (clothes, shoes and sundries) just opposite to the hotel and a souvenir shop on the ground floor of the hotel; definitely good and convenient for shopping. By the way, some grocery stores nearby as well. Both indoor and outdoor onsens are good!
The hotel is located a bit outside of the city, but there is a free shuttle bus to the train station every hour.
AC/heating cannot be operated in the room as it is operated centrally. Could be bothersome for some people, it didn't bother us. The room was spacious and okay, it's a 80s's style hotel. But we had everything we needed. The breakfast buffet was nice and there were plenty of options of Western and Asian dishes.
Important : the onsen and spa area can only be used by persons without tattoos!! We didn't know as we checked the website and everything prior to our stay and didn't see any information. We only found out when we received information at check in... Check in was easy, we could even check in at 1:45pm.

Amazing
AAnonymous UserArrived at 12pm and room was ready to check in. But too bad i had to eat lunch and travel around first before checking in so i couldnt enjoy the early check in. Take note no car park onsite, and have to park at the public carparks. But overall the room was well renovated, clean, cosy bed was comfortable and worth the price. Staff was friendly too
AAnonymous UserThis hotel exceeded our expectation! It is very near the Nohi Bus station and the JR Takayama station (3-5 min walk). Although we just stayed overnight, we had a memorable experience in Takayama Ouan. The hotel has a lot of freebies for their guests. They have a booth in the lobby where guests can get free brewed coffee, hot tea, and green lemon iced tea. They also provide free socks since the hotel have tatami flooring. What we also loved about this hotel is the onsen (separate public onsen for male and female, and 3 private onsen). They also have a freezer where guests can get free iced cream after bathing. During past 9 pm, they also have free ramen for their guests. The room is spacious, and the view from our window is also nice (the roads and establishments covered with snow). Aside from the free stuff and great amenities, we also appreciate the kind and friendly staff members. We accidentally lost the luggage claim tag (and we are willing to pay for it) but they didn't charge us anything.
When we go back to Takayama, we will definitely stay here again.

雲雲尼王A small hot spring hotel. I really feel the hotel's care. Compared to more prosperous areas, I prefer this kind of remote small hotel. I feel that the hotel wants to do every place carefully. Although the price is cheap, there are many details. Everything is well done. For example, there is a self-service snack and drink area in the lobby, which is available 24 hours a day. Yukata for children is also provided. The hotel rooms are very clean. I wonder if they have been renovated, so the rooms are very new and clean.
JJoyce**Hotel Review**
Unfortunately, my experience at this hot spring hotel did not meet expectations. The dinner service was particularly lacking. The food had already been set up in the room before we arrived, and the waiter offered minimal assistance, only asking if we had lit the fire. There was no explanation of the dishes, nor was a menu provided. To make matters worse, the necessary cutlery for different courses was repeatedly overlooked, which detracted from the overall dining experience. The food itself was unremarkable and didn’t compare to what other hot spring hotels typically offer.
The private onsen also posed a challenge. The water switch was broken, leaving no way to adjust the temperature or water flow, resulting in water that was uncomfortably hot throughout our stay. Breakfast the next morning was very basic and lacked the variety or creativity I’ve come to expect from similar establishments. Overall, the hotel did not live up to the standards I’ve experienced elsewhere and left much room for improvement.
AAlexwAbsolute gem in Takayama. It was an impulse last min booking hence we arrived and check in late but got a good deal.
We were upgraded to the suite room which is a total surprise. Room was huge! There's living hall on one side, and bedroom on another side.
There aren't many tall buildings in Takayama. Hence, we can look out the window for the whole town scenery. Surrounded by mountain and snowing in the morning, such a lovely stay.
Hotel has public thermal pool on the ground floor free for guests. Breakfast was sufficient but can be long queue.
Overall, it's a good short stay at a lovely hotel.
獨獨木舟Although the hotel is relatively remote, there are dedicated staff to pick you up at the station, so you can book it even if you are not traveling by car. In addition, the service attitude of the staff is very good. The only drawback is that you need to go up and down the stairs, but if you don't have much/light luggage, it is still highly recommended!

GGuest UserStayed there with as a family of 3. While I really wanted to like the ryokan due to the warm service and great feedback from friends, my own experience was a bit disappointing. We have stayed in many traditional ryokans prior to this and were familiar with the setup. We are appreciative with the warm service and sincere touches; like candies at check in, but the ryokan itself is really quite old and in need of a refresh.
Our room is tucked away in a corner and required us to go down a small flight of stairs to reach. I am not sure if the location meant that is a bit colder than the rest of the rooms but we really did feel cold and the heating was inadequate. The in built heater would also stop and beep in the middle of the night, which led 2 of us falling sick at the start of the trip. We requested for a additional small heater which helped a bit. Second night, our 9yo son also got many mysterious bites all over his leg. He claimed to have seen a bug crawl under the tatami mat but we were not certain and therefore did not feedback to the ryokan as we only had one more remaining night to go. We had only stayed 1 night in nagoya's marriott associa hotel prior to our ryokan visit, and his skin improved after we left Takayama, leading us to think that it might have been the stay there.
