Sarah

“Wow. This accommodation exceeded all our expectations. The lady who runs it was INCREDIBLE. Stuffed our wet shoes with paper to dry them from the snow and put an extension plug in our room without asking when she realised we’d needed more things...”

“Loved the experience of staying in a ryokan. We were able to book the onsen a couple of times during our stay, which was fantastic. The traditional Japanese breakfast with views to the ryokan’s garden was just the cherry on the cake.”

Takeshi Kaminaka

It is a small hotel of the homey atmosphere. However, the traditional inn, style of Japan is space not to be able to taste in the others. There is a Japanese traditional Japanese garden in spite of a location of a 3-minute walk from the station. The meal provides a traditional Kaiseki meal served . The traditional Japanese music supports all the staff, and it comes above all. Japanese dance, samisen, hand drum, instructor, Natori gathers three. I can experience Japanese traditional music. Please come to the memory of the trip♪

Ryokan Kaminaka is only the Japanese staff liking being traditional. I am a chef of the Japanese food. And it is an instructor of the traditional arts Japanese dance of Japan. I was brought up in traditional space of Japan, but NFL loves the hobby. I can watch NFL broadcast in Japan. The story about traditional arts of Japan. Story of NFL Please call out to me.

It is a 7-minute walk from the JR Takayama Station & Takayama bus center to the cityscape which is old for three minutes on foot It is a 5-minute walk to a morning market It is an inn situated in a good location In the old cityscape, there is the experience-based point baking an original rice cracker
