Hida Hanasatonoyu Takayama Ouan

Nice place i loved the onsen

Hotel with a hint of Japanese ryokan style, with tatami mat floors from reception onwards. Cleanliness was top notch. Hotel was beyond my expectations. There are private and public onsens. The onsen waiting room felt like a place for social gathering whilst waiting for their turn for the private onsen. Hotel is within 5 mins from the station and within 10 mins walk to the morning market. I highly recommend this hotel!!!

We weren’t used to the self check-in service, but the staff led us to the machine and it was smooth and easy. Breakfast buffet had many local and western food options, delicious free late night ramen, you get to wear Samue while in the hotel, beds were surprisingly comfortable for traditional Japanese room (wasn’t sure what to expect), and onsen was fantastic! Especially the rooftop outdoor onsen. We were there for 3 days, 3 nights. They offered cleaning every day, which you let them know by putting a magnet tag on the door by 1pm, which was nice. We never had a chance to try private onsens as they were always occupied. Although you are supposedly limited to half hour in the private onsen, there is no one to check and make sure you are using only half hour. I’m not sure if guests do follow this rule or take advantage of it. Thanks for a great stay!

this ryokan is excellent, super nice and has public and private baths, 5 min near the station! highly recommend

Loved having access to the onsen

Very conveniently located near the Takayama train station. Great hot-spring baths and 3 private baths for those who are not used to a shared environment. Very walkable city with lots of great restaurants within 10 minutes walking distance. The historical part of the city is only 10-15 minutes of walking distance. Buffet breakfast was delicious but would recommend exploring local restaurants that serves breakfast as well.

Can’t get better for the money! Amazing relaxing hotel from the moment you walk onto the property with a small water feature by the front door. Staff were helpful and check in was easy. Onsen was great including private onsens. We didn’t have to wait at all. Views from the onsen were pretty. There were signs all over to explain how to use the onsen and a QR code that explained all the amenities in the hotel. Laundry was great, small snacks by onsens were yummy, night ramen was good and breakfast was fantastic and huge. Conveniently located by the station and also a short walk from the main area of Takayama. Futon bed in our room was super comfortable and there were even extra feather pillows available. I would highly recommend this hotel - very relaxing!

This hotel was not user-friendly, we needed to remove our shoes before going there. The hotel provided a pair of socks to the customers if they didn't want to walk on the floor without socks/shoes. I think it's not eco-friendly. We always changed our shoes in the lobby, it's hard to find a seat during the peak hours eg dinner time or check-out. It's not suitable for the elderly. This hotel didn't provide any service except check-in. You could scan the QR code to see all the details by yourself. They don't have either dinner or a souvenir shop.

Very convenient but a bit frayed around the edges. An adequate facility but certainly not a luxury property.
