Mountain Sakura Hermitage: The blend of Japanese and Western styles in Takayama Onsen Village, a dual enjoyment of Hida beef and sulfur hot springs
Mountain Sakura Hermitage, located in Takayama Onsen Village, is a hot spring inn that combines Japanese and Western styles. It offers hot springs and Western-style rooms, making it an excellent choice for experiencing Japanese hot spring culture.
Hot Spring Experience:
At Mountain Sakura Hermitage, you can feel a faint sulfur smell in the hot springs, with the water appearing reddish-brown and rich in minerals. In addition to the exclusive private baths in the rooms, the inn also has two indoor private baths and two outdoor private baths. The indoor baths are relatively small, and the experience of soaking while facing the wall is somewhat cramped, while the outdoor baths allow you to fully enjoy the natural scenery and take photos. The public women's bath is beautifully designed, with a wide bath surface, allowing you to enjoy the mountain view while soaking during the day. The indoor bath is also spacious, and the water quality is even richer.
Gourmet Experience:
The dining experience at Mountain Sakura Hermitage is unforgettable. Upon check-in, the staff will make a reservation for dinner in advance. We chose the earlier time of 5:30 to leave time to enjoy the free ramen. Dinner includes sukiyaki, sashimi, and Hida beef barbecue. The texture of Hida beef is amazing, melting in your mouth with a faint milky aroma. Although breakfast is somewhat ordinary, the hotel's offering of free milk, drinks, coffee, beer, and highballs for unlimited consumption is extremely satisfying.
Convenient Transportation:
From Takayama Station, you can take the Nohi Bus and reach Hirayu Onsen in an hour. It is only a 5-minute walk from Hirayu Onsen Station to the inn, making transportation very convenient. The town is filled with hot spring hotels, and even the drainage channels are filled with milky white hot spring water, creating an atmosphere full of hot spring village characteristics.
Whether it's a hot spring trip or a gourmet exploration, Mountain Sakura Hermitage can be the perfect choice for your Takayama trip, allowing you to experience an unforgettable journey nourished by both nature and culture.
