Everything was amazing. The owner was responsive and friendly. Checking in and out were a breeze. The house is extremely clean and spacious. There is an outdoor tub for you to soak in as you enjoy the crisp air, and a sauna to sweat it out if you decide to. There are crockery, cooking utensils, and even drip coffee equipment if you choose to make your own food and drinks. We came in winter and the place was sufficiently warmed with 3 heaters, one in the living room and two on the second floor. There was even an Atari console to play with! The house is located within walking distance from the main shopping and eating district. Would definitely stay here again if we're back in the area!

    Great location to the city center and train station. The room size was so big and comfortable for our family of 3. We were able to get a late checkout for a very minimal cost. Great amenities, staff very nice.

    Very friendly, helpful and kind staff - they contacted the police for me when I left my wallet full of money at a market stall (and it wasn’t there when I returned to the stall). My wallet was never found in the end but I’m grateful for their efforts. The hostel is a great location - ~10 min walk from train/bus station and main hub of Takayama. It is also kept very clean! Personal lockers in dorm rooms were also a bonus!

    Our host was very kind and gracious throughout our stay, going the extra mile at every point such as driving us to the station early for our train. The guest house was well situated, right near the shrines and closeby to the old streets. It was generally comfortable but not overly stylish.

    Everything at the property was great- it’s a quaint home stay - 6 rooms with 6 onsens- how awesome is that! Immaculately clean and host catered to special dietary restrictions- A* for effort. The location is quiet countryside for self reflection.

    Very cosy, homely guesthouse. The bed were super comfy and had a nice communal kitchen space. The hosts were super helpful and provide a free daily shuttle to the city centre. I also left my laptop charger and they were super helpful in getting it delivered to my next hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

    The guesthouse is located up above the city center, close to everything. I believe there are 2 houses and I wasn’t in the main one but it was all clean, had 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, all the utilities, and bonus there is a cute garden at the back where you’re allowed to smoke (this is uncommon for japanese houses). The host was really nice, spoke a good english and show me on a map everything that could be seen near the city center. I had a great time in Takayama, it’s a really beautiful place!
