Just a 2-minute walk from JR Takayama Train Station and Takayama Nohi Bus Center, Guesthouse Tomaru offers an renovated 80-year old Japanese-style accommodation. Free WiFi is provided throughout the property. Sanmachi Important Preservation District is a 10-minute stroll.

It is a very cozy hostel, you feel immediately at home. The owner is very helpful and gave us a lot of recommendations and information about the sourroundings. Also, there is lot of information at the reception you can read by yourself. There is a great bookshelf with interesting books for adults and also books and games for children. Our children loved them and they wanted to stay the whole day at the reception. In the morning we got coffee with a smile and the room is so comfortable it felt like home. There are so many small but nice details like the backup towel at the shower, the children books at the room or that we got three futons on the floor instead of the bunk bed, which is not very easy with small children or the well equipped kitchen. Great recommendation for this wonderful place!! I wish we could have stayed longer.

    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!
