Guest Reviews
- Hibiki (9/5): -
- Leif (10/5): Amazing for the price, good staff and community - Very welcoming, with the most kind and helpful staff Beds where not the most comfortable
- Marcelo PC (8/5): - O proprietário é muito simpático e prestativo, sempre com dicas e sugestões muito boas... Apenas um chuveiro para vários hóspedes, achei um pouco complicado.
- Tiphaine (8/5): - Une magnifique maison, avec une hôte absolument adorable et très disponible ! Le seul point négatif est qu’il n’y ait qu’une seule douche pour toute la maison (2/3 dortoirs) donc faites attention si vous êtes pressé mais sinon tout était super
- Jiri (10/5): - Nice ryokan style room. Helpful owner. Feeling like home. We can only recommend it.
- Mélanie (10/5): - Tout était parfait
La chambre était spacieuse et la guesthouse est située en plein centre ville, tout est à côté
Nous reviendrons

- Dubovi (10/5): Everything was great. The place is nice and clean and the staff were very helpful. Highly recommended! - Everything Nothing
- Collin (9/5): Amazing location, homely feeling and extremely friendly staff! - Location was amazing. Close to the station with a convenience store close by as well. 1 Street over was the main shopping street and since Takayama is pretty small it was very easy to walk everywhere from the hostel. I found the bathroom and place to wash up/brush teeth/do your morning routine a bit small and annoying. Also only 1 shower for the entire hostel could be annoying on some days but i personally did not experience it.
- Thirza (9/5): Zou hier nog een keer blijven - De gezelligheid -
- Christie (10/5): - Perfect location near the station, Great base to explore this beautiful area. The host was very friendly, lovely relaxed vibe.
- CHENCHI (8/5): - Close to train station and convenient store. Staff would explain the city map to newly-arrived tourist.
- Sophie (10/5): - Wonderful guesthouse with such welcoming hosts, who make you feel at home. The atmosphere here was lovely and homely, with traditional Japanese features. There was a nice group of solo travellers who were here so we all sat round the table and shared some of the free sake! It’s in a great location too - very close to the station and local shops. The kitchen was great too with ingredients for cooking/appliances.
- Olivia (7/5): Central location - Super close to the train/bus station, walking distance to everything else too. Traditional floor mats for sleeping. Good heating as it was quite cold! Nice family owned and run! Bathrooms could do with some renovation

- JUYUN (8/5): 位置方便但淋浴空間不足 - 位置離車站很近,有女性宿舍可選 只有一間淋浴空間,牆壁上很多霉點感覺需要清潔。
以CP值而言有點偏貴。

- Koyuki (10/5): 快適 - スタッフの方がとても親切で、おすすめスポットを教えてくださったり、忘れ物をしてしまったら丁寧にご連絡いただいてとても助かりました。
また高速バス停留所からもとても近いので、旅好きにはぴったりのロケーションです。
- Natalia (10/5): Estancia perfecta en Takayama - El anfitrion es muy servicial y está preparado para ofrecer todo tipo de recomendaciones: rutas, restaurantes, actividades, etc. La familia es un encanto, estuve muy a gusto. La zona común es agradable y amplia. La ubicación es perfecta, al lado del bus y a 5 min de la zona turística. Nada.
- Hulya (8/5): -
- Luis Alejandro (10/5): Great - I had a great time during my two nights in Takayama. The owner was extremely attentive and helpful, and he gave me a lot of useful information about the area. The place is nice and has a friendly atmosphere where you can easily meet people from different parts of the world. Both the owner and his wife speak very good English, which made everything much easier. I would definitely recommend staying here! Nothing
- Prieto (10/5): - Very confortable place and warm people, i enjoyed my stance there, ill be back. All good.

- HSINYING (8/5): 是獨旅客人短暫停留很棒的選擇~ - 旅館非常溫馨~~是很有愛的老闆一家人開的!也會有住客會在一樓大廳空間與老闆聊天~
離開民宿後也可以暫時將行李寄在旅館這點也超級方便的!!
如果想要體驗看看日本古民宅住宿,我覺得這裡很可愛溫馨~~ 洗澡的地方在一樓且只有一間,而梳妝台是在二樓,這點比較不方便一點點
房間小小的,但隔了蠻多床位,個人空間比較小,會稍微有點壓迫感
- Algirdas (6/5): - Tik vieta gera, netoli stoties. Nemalonus seimyninkas, reikejo prasyti ranksluosciu, nes kambari ju nebuvo. Dusas vienas ant viso viesbucio, pastatas blogam stovyje, vaikstant girgzda grindys, sienos plonos todel viskas girdisi kas darosi aplink. Nerekomenduociau, cia mano sutiktas prasciausias viesbutis Japonijoj.

- Utz (10/5): - I had a really lovely stay here. It’s a small, family-run guesthouse where you truly feel welcomed and taken care of.
Takayama itself is quite compact, and the old town is only about a 5-minute walk away, which makes the location very convenient. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, and a FamilyMart is just around the corner.
The hosts gave great recommendations for things to do in the area, including a beautiful temple walk and places to explore around the old town, which has a lot of charm despite being quite small.
I would definitely recommend a stay here!

- Luna-Marie (8/5): -
- Sander Pape (9/5): - Pretty much everything, the free tea was better than any other place I've stayed, the room was large, the kitchen was quite well stocked, the wifi was good, etc. The door to the room has a large gap so there was zero sound isolation
- Ying-Lien (10/5): -
- Léa (9/5): - Excellent rapport qualité-prix. L’emplacement est parfait, à deux pas de la gare, ce qui est très pratique ! Il faisait un peu froid dans la chambre.
- LINA (8/5): 距離車站很近 - 位置 沒有
- hyoyoun (5/5): 다다미방 - 일본 다다미방을 경험하고 싶다 하면 좋다
아침시장과 다카야마터미널 중간쯤이라 위치는 좋음 편이다 추웠다..덜덜 거리고 잘 정도로..
두꺼운 요와 베게를 감싸는 천인지 두꺼운 요를 덮는 천인지 길쭉한 천을 두장 같이 주는데 아무리 봐도 덮고자는 이불은 아니었다 두꺼운 요같은건 무지 무거웠으므로...덮는거라고 생각하기 힘들었다
난방기구는 팬히터 같은거고 그것도 누가 끄는건지 자동으로 꺼졌다 켜지는 건지 위층은 너무 추웠다
그리고 후기에서 노부부가 운영하신단 글을 본것과 매우 친절해 좋았단 후기를 보고 예약했는데 그런분들은 보이지 않았고 친절도 모르겠다
- Hannah (9/5): - Tolle Lage, sehr klein und gemütlich, freundliches Personal, gut ausgestattet, geräumige Dusche. Ich würde die Unterkunft wieder buchen.
- Dhom (9/5): - Location close to main bus&train station Nothing...
- Thanyawat (9/5): -
- Ece (10/5): -
- Chika (8/5): Good value for money! - コスパ、ロケーション、雰囲気、スタッフ、共有スペース
ホストの方は英語も堪能なので、海外ゲストも安心して利用できる 布団が硬くて寝にくかった、部屋の温度調節が難しい
- Jack (10/5): めっちゃ楽しかった! - オーナーがとても親切でした。駅、バスターミナルからも近く、古い町並みまでも歩いて5~7分程度です。部屋もきれいで、ドミトリーのベッドにもカーテンで仕切られているのである程度プライバシーも保てます。共用スペースでの談話がとにかく楽しかった。不定期開催のパーティーの日に当たるとラッキーだと思います。私が宿泊したときはちょうどパーティーが開催されて、地元の方や他の旅人さんたちと食事をしながらいっぱい話すことができてとても楽しく過ごすことができました。 特にありません。
- Román (10/5): -

Would recommend staying here if you get the chance Nothing!

- Pierpaolo (10/5): - I spent one night here during my trip to visit Takayama and Shirakawago. It was a great experience! The guesthouse is in a very convenient location, about 200 metres from Takayama Bus Station and about a 15-20 minute walk from all the main sights in the city. The owners of the guesthouse were very attentive, welcoming and friendly. They also gave me excellent advice on trying local onsen and izakaya. The accommodation was excellent. The facility is simple but has everything you need for a pleasant stay. I was sorry to only spend one night there.
- JIAN CHENG (10/5): -
- Rodrigo (10/5): - Very nice guesthouse in a great location. The family that runs the guesthouse are such great people, they made my short stay a very memorable one. I hope to return again to beautiful Takayama.
- Manddy (10/5): - C'est très typique japonais, le lieu n'est pas loin de la gare et des zones marchandes, le personnel est très accueillant.

- Hoàng (9/5): -
- Kenneth (9/5): - This is a smaller guesthouse/hostel in an older building. It met all my requirements: affordable, clean and convenient. The owner was very friendly and the place felt very welcoming. I would stay here again.

- Michal (8/5): Ogólnie- pozytywnie. Drobne niedogodności nie psują pozytywnego odbioru - Właściciel, bardzo miły i pomocny że świetnym angielskim. Jak w każdym niemal hostelu w Japonii - zimno. Dla Japończyków to normalne, dla ludzi zachodu - nie.
- Zoe (10/5): Great place to stay - Good location and has all the facilities you need for a short stopover! I went to Shirakawago and it’s a really convenient place to rest. Everything is shared between the guests - one shower/bathroom for everyone. You may have to wait to use the shower, and water is lukewarm. It’s not that clean but can’t complain for the price honestly. Everything else was fantastic.
- Jean (6/5): - L'emplacement très proche de la gare à pieds !
Le morning market, la vieille ville, tout est proche à pieds !
Le onsen au Takayama green hotel, génial ! La température de la douche !
Il faisait assez froid dans toute la guesthouse, car il n'y a pas d'isolation.
- Thomas Fèvre (10/5): -
- Maria Agustina (10/5): Comfortable and clean - Friendly and like family
