Hida Hanasatonoyu Takayama Ouan

This is a charming hotel with wonderful service. The private and shared baths are lovely. It’s a very short walk from the station. The no shoe policy was great and the older gentleman who greeted us in the rain with an umbrella was so sweet. We didn’t enjoy the buffet breakfast at all and there was a minor smell from the toilet. But overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Had a great stay and would definitly go back Used the spa pool everyday day and the breakfast was delicious Overall great place to stay and good value

If you like Japanese style of living without sacrificing western amenities , Then you will like this place. For example, your shoes are kept in a locker on the first floor and you must wear only socks in most areas even in the lobby and on the room floors above. Slippers are provided in the rooms. The beds are comfortable, but are on the floor. The dining area is very attractive and caters to Japanese tastes in food although you certainly get some western foods as well. The quality is excellent. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. My room was clean and quiet. The hotel is within walking distance of the old preserved area of Takayama, which is well worth seeing even though it is rather commercial. Also be sure to go to the Hida Folk Village to see the beautiful traditional homes and shops they have preserved so well there. You need to take the bus which includes a ticket mission in return. Another valuable trip is to Ogimachi, about 45 minutes out and into the mountains, an ancient but lived in community - Quite commercial, swarming with tourists, but worthwhile, especially the quiet preserved Museum Village on the south side of the river which is beautifully laid out.

This is my 2nd time and serving staff still remember me :). We are all awe at how the staff goes all the way to ensure we are comfortable. We especially adore senior uncle whose geniune SMILE never leave his face

Nice Traditional Japanese Hotel. Our friends and family wanted to experience traditional Japanese Hotel, so we decided to try this one. Very nice. Room rather small, and you sleep on the japanese futon wearing yukata but quite comfortable and most importantly an experience.

Traditional style onsen hotel that is very popular with tourists, both international and Japanese. Make a plan to eat in town as the buffet dinner is really quite uninspiring for the price. Breakfast however is a better value proposition but only to a small degree. Staff and cleanliness are all to a high standard with limited English beyond the front desk staff. For a traditional onsen experience you may need to look elsewhere as the water is just over 40 deg which is at the cooler end of the onsen spectrum.

Friendly staffs, Japanese style rooms and set-up, and I like most is private bath room. The dinner is also very nice.

Nice location. Nice facility. Nice food. Nice decoration. Nice night time free ramen

very near to takayama station & old town, clean & nice staff. dinner is very tasty, serve supper ramen for free after enjoy onsen.

We had the best experience so far in our travels around parts of Japan through staying at this hotel. Our room was a Deluxe Double and was quite spacious with a king size bed, small sitting area plus small desk/bureau, a separate shoji screened-off shower/toilet and entry vestibule. The vestibule light stays on permanently (or at least we couldn't find a way to turn it off), but a shoji screen door mutes the light for sleeping. Staff were kind, friendly and helpful. The onsen area is wonderful and the laundry facilities (washers and dryers) are on that same floor. Lovely garden-style entry to the hotel is very welcoming. Really recommend this hotel.
