Guest Reviews

• Doranne (10/5): - Onsen was lovely. The food, breakfast and dinner was delicious. An easy walk to the old town.
• ??? (8/5): - 歩いて古い町並みへ行くのが坂道なので疲れました。
• Mariló (2/5): - 1- Con lo carisima que es la habitación, nos cobraron un "impuesto de baño" al irnos!!!!!!! Increible 2- el desayuno lo dejamos completo, no tenian cafe ni nada. Nos dijeron que a las 8 de la mañana ya no daban. Un desayuno japones que daba fatiga. Es increíblemente caro para esto.
• ?? (10/5): - 家族旅行で、飛騨朴の木平スキー場にてスキーを楽しんだ後利用させて頂きました 小雪舞う天気で部屋から眺める市内の景色は最高 露天風呂も最高でした 食事も子供達が満足してました チェックアウト後も車をそのまま駐車させて頂き、朝市など散策し楽しめました
• あきひろ (10/5): - ただただ素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。 接客対応から清潔感、料理とどれをとっても一級品のお宿でした。また是非利用させていただきたいと思っています。
• YOSHIMI (8/5): - 他の部屋の雑音が夜遅くに響いて気になりました。 その他は良かった
• Tessa (10/5): - We vwey much enjoyed experiencing a Japanese ryokan and onsen. Meals were unique and the attention to every single detail was impressive. Lastly, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, especially Seigo.
• ようこ (10/5): - スタッフさんの対応が暖かく、とても居心地がよかったです。お料理も丁寧に作られていました。館内のお花も上品でよかったです。お世話になりました。
• MIZUKA (10/5): - 古い建物ですがとても手入れが行き届いていて、スタッフの方も対応がとても良く、気持ちよく過ごせました。大浴場も内風呂と露天風呂がありゆっくり浸かれました。食事処は半個室で、料理は地のものが味わえて美味しかったです。観光地の古い街並みにも近いです。ただ一つ、部屋の中の芳香剤の香りが強く気になりましたが、それ以外はとても良かったです。
• ゆか (10/5): - お料理が美味しく、特にご飯がおいしくおかわりが、できたのが、よかったです。
• ??? (10/5): - スタッフの対応はフレンドリーで、とても気がきいていた。 旧市街のとても近く、観光を満喫出来ました。
• Ali (10/5): - Conveniently located and great service. Very hospitable and great dining experience with onsen amenities.
• Dan (10/5): - Excellent facilities with excellent service at a great location.
• James (6/5): - Pleasant staff but rooms are tired so better value elsewhere in town
• rika (8/5): - お食事はどれもすべて美味しく、温度も、コースのお料理を出していただくタイミングも完璧でした。お風呂も露天風呂が最高です！足湯が朝もやっているといいなぁと思いました。 お部屋が山側だったこととベッドの脇の電気が切れていて不便だったのが残念でしたが、接客はとても素晴らしく、また伺いたいと思いました。
• Sharyn (10/5): - My family and I had a wonderful stay at Hoshokaku. We splurged for the room with the private onsen on deck and were so happy we did - it is well worth it to have your own private bath and the views of Takayama are amazing. Hoshokaku is a beautiful ryokan and service was impeccable. We enjoyed our meals in the dining area - which were delicious. The ryokan is up on a hill so it is a bit of a hike up back from old town but definitely manageable. We loved our time at Hoshokaku and would love to return.
• Claude (8/5): - This is a nice ryokan with a good staff, welcoming and helpful. The inn is on the simple side, which does not refer to the spare Japanese tradition but to its now being a bit dated. The dining is as one can expect in a ryokan, thus traditional Japanese. The area around is a lovely park above the inn and the old town, touristy but attractive, directly below. The price is what one expects in Japan, thus expensive relative to comparable lodging elsewhere. Takayama is worth visiting, and this inn is a good base.
• Thanyathus (10/5): ให้10เต็ม - บริการดีมาก ตั้งแต่การต้อนรับตอนเช็คอิน จนเช็คเอาท์ ห้องผมรวม halfboard ต้องทำนัดอาหารเช้า และอาหารเย็น เป็น Japanese style ดีมาก อร่อย และสวยงาม ห้องพัก กว้างขวาง สบาย มีฟูตองมาจัดให้เลือกนอนได้ การเดินทางสะดวกมาก มีที่จอดรถขนาดรถตู้ได้ สามารถเดินลงมาในเมืองเก่าแค่ 5 นาที มีออนเซ็นให้ด้วย ชอบมากครับ
• KA KI (10/5): - Staff are nice and helpful
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 早餐的窗外，殘雪掛在山邊牆壁，疊疊似浮雲飄在半空，賞著雪景用餐，隨著侍者熱切的招呼聲音，心情越來越難捨道再見。 二天前抵寶生閣天色已晚，門前庭院前推著今冬的餘雪，孤獨的松葉掛著不忍離去的落雪，一旦太陽出來，再多的矜持終會溶成水。 寶生閣一家位於山腰的老飯店，踏入飯店大廳，不像到一家飯店，像似回家，回到以前住過日本糖廠宿舍的家，進屋子先在玄關換鞋子，大廳是舖著榻榻米的地板，一直到房間的路上都鋪著榻榻米。 推開門，進了房間，也是榻榻米的地板，房間有隔板，隔板上用紙糊的小窗口，好幾片隔板隔出一處可以喝茶看書的空間，這空間有一排玻璃，推開窗戶，整個高山城景映入眼簾。 房間的柱子都是木造，天花板也是用木板稱著，滿地的榻榻米，把我的記憶拉的好遠，拉回到兒時在榻榻米玩耍,睡硬梆梆榻榻米的時光，天真爛漫的童年。 我安靜的坐在窗邊， 凝望城景，昨夜一場雪，屋瓦積滿疊疊落雪，天際鳥鳴喚醒沉睡一晚的街景。 覽書閱讀，忽地天上飄起細雪，心情隨著推積的雪開朗 放下書本，拾筆，詩句如雪花片片的飄落。 這麼老的飯店，什麼都舊了，入門迎賓侍者的聲音也舊了，笑容卻揚溢溫暖的歡迎聲. 我喜歡飯店那些老式的擺設裝飾，只能用年久褪色的記憶來回味飯店主人的想法，ㄧ種老掉牙的堅持，有著不失味的溫度和人情味。 一位手腳僵硬不靈活的飯店清潔員工，對著客人的禮貌問候是這般的平常像家人一般，我有回到家的感覺。
• TAKAHIRO (10/5): - 食事を用意してくれる仲居さんの対応がとても好印象です！ また行きたいと思ってます！
• MINAKO (10/5): 素敵な宿でした。 - スリッパのない、畳張の廊下やエレベーター内で、とても気持ち良かったです。スタッフの方も、玄関口におられた方や受付の方、食事の担当の方、どのスタッフもみなさんとても感じが良く、親切にしてくださいました。 お料理ももちろん美味しかったです。陣屋や古い街並みにも近く、朝市も楽しめ、観光にも最高でした。
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 貸切風呂が無買ったことから、コロナが心配でしたが、共同のお風呂は人も少なく安心して入浴できました。 お部屋も綺麗で、お料理も美味しく、過ごしやすかったです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - チェックイン時、ウエルカムドリンク→梅抹茶をいただきました。
• SHING TAK (10/5): - 房間很大　很舒適　地點位置很方便　非常接近高山的老街景點
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 房間寬敞,整潔,員工友善,鄰近有食店,整體好滿意.下次都會再選擇些店,但車站尚有一段距離,洒店有專車接送.
• Wing sze Vivian (10/5): - We stayed here for one night and really enjoyed the onsen and the food. The female onsen has one indoor and 2 outdoor pools, which give us plenty of personal space when having the hot spring. We were lucky that very few people used the onsen during our stay, and sometimes we even had the whole place to me and my daughter! Another highlight is the foot spa located on the roof level. It was nice to sooth your feet in the hot water and look out to the shimmering lights in town at night. We had a package that included dinner and breakfast which were delicious and very filling.
• SHU PUI (10/5): 超過100分既酒店 - 酒店職員好細心 到步及離開時可以預約專車接送 到高山JR站 行李都主動拎上房 搞到有啲唔好意思 一泊兩食每日不同款 好好食
• Verified traveler (2/5): - 我在expedia訂個3人房間，但不小心訂了2人，我立刻用expedia訊息直接跟酒店方溝通，等了幾天終於回覆我，對話如下： Hoshokaku 通常會於數日內回覆。 2020年1月22日 - 2020年1月23日 We have three people (2 adults + 6 years old children), please ask for breakfast 12月11日 下午2:53 私たちは3人（大人2人+ 6歳の子供）です。朝食を頼んでください 12月11日 下午2:53 ?? 12月12日 下午8:40 Dear Lok kei Lee, My apologies for the late reply. I've been out of the office since last week. Breakfast is included in your plan. We all look forward to seeing you in January. Kind Regards, General Manager Katsuyoshi Dentani 12月14日 上午9:48 當我食完早餐前，酒店要求我付6歲小孩的早餐費用 83xx yen，如果要付款，為什麼不在我食早餐前先通知我有這費用，酒店職員一直只是說 費用會在酒店收取，其他的不解釋，訊息內容不明白，我預約了去新穗高的巴士，迫於無奈只能付錢，感覺非常差，我永遠不會考慮這酒店
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 酒店位於山上。房間有特色。清潔！食物有水準！位於高層！景觀開闊！下次會帶同家人再次入住！希望下次可以在下雪的天氣入住！
• Alex (8/5): - Good view, friendly staff, good breakfast. I love the Private hot spring in room.
• Verified traveler (10/5): 快適な宿でした。 - とても快適でした。リピートしたいと思います。
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good in all aspects - hospitality, cleanliness, services, ......., anything you mention.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 整體都可以，特別是入住時笫一時間為客人清潔行李箱，其他酒店好像沒有f此服務！飛驒牛味道也不錯，溫泉也可以！
• Verified traveler (8/5): - 位置好好，清潔度十分高，完全沒有煙味，早餐同晚餐非常美味，停車場是免費，服務態度非常好，整體非常好，下次一定會住寶生閣
• Kazuhiko (10/5): 良い処です。 - バイクでの宿泊でしたが、到着後屋根のあるスペースに案内され嬉しかったです。 門から玄関は純和風で、靴を脱ぐと畳敷で非常に癒されます。 部屋は露天風呂付きの和室、案内の女性も気さくで心許せます。 楽しみにしていた、部屋付きもお風呂も大浴場もいい雰囲気で大満足です。 料理は量質共に大満足。 フロントの男性（若旦那かな？）は私と出身地が同じで近親感が持てました。
• Sophia (6/5): - The hotel is traditional which is what we were after, however, it was quite dated. You can tell money has been spent downstairs to bring it up to a better standard, but the bedrooms we had (western twin and japenese twin futon) were small, bathrooms very dated, smelt smoky & the mattresses were lumpy/ springy. The onsen is nice - three baths for women (can’t comment on the men’s) one inside and two outside. Very clean and private located on ground floor. The top floor has a foot spa with nice views. The other top floor onsen facilities you have to rent. However we found the ground floor facilities nice and adequate. The hotel is located 5 mins from the old town & they offer free pick up/ drop off from the station which is great for when you’ve got a lot of luggage. We stayed two nights and that was plenty, for the hotel and the area. Staff very friendly and lovely. We had the breakfast and it was, traditional (not to our tastes but glad we tried it). Would recommend this hotel if you want traditional but be aware it is quite dated.
• Brenda (8/5): - 整體很好，距離景點很近，職員非常有禮貌，只是睡枕比較硬，仍會推薦給朋友。
• J. (10/5): - We loved this hotel. For those who look for the authentic, this is your place. This is an old fashioned and well maintained ryokan; and it certainly looks from another era. 60’s style with a great location. The “Onsen” (hot bath) was great and the food was delicious and unique. We had a room with “futons” and nevertheless our western vertebrae managed a resting sleep on them. There are also rooms with proper beds, but we wanted to try something different. The staff was superb. Expect to have a smell of cold tobacco in some of the rooms. Keep im mind that Japan still allows indoor smoking in some places. This was not a big issues to us and we are both non-smokers.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 服務人員非常親切，早餐非常棒！ 飯店設施雖不是全新 但都很乾淨
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.Wer eine traditionelle Unterkunft sucht ist hier genau richtig! Wir hatte ein schönes Zimmer im Japanischen Stil mit Blick auf die Stadt.Das hauseigene Onsen und das wunderbare Japanisches Frühstück machten unseren Aufenthalt perfekt!! Besonders zu erwähnen ist der Shuttelservice vom Bahnhof zum Hotel das leicht erhöht liegt.
• bo yee (8/5): - Very friendly staff, hotel is on the hillside, recommend to people who are driving. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel, food was great and we booked onsen on 5/f with $1500 yen additional, only for women, value for money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Mooie locatie, net buiten de drukte. Vriendelijk personeel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - the breakfast!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The location is superb. It is near the town so you can walk around within 5 minutés
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This is our 2nd times to stay in this hotel, it always gives us a precious moment. In no doubt, we would love to come back & stay for our 3rd time again!
• Verified traveler (10/5): 很滿意 - 家庭旅遊首選，很整潔，服務細心到位
• Ka Yan (10/5): 十分滿意 - 訂了Private Open air bath room，很滿意，很整潔、衛生。鞋子要脫在門外，行李箱進內前亦會有職員細心清潔好才推入室內。訂了一泊二食，食物質素很好，每件細小，但款式多，很滿足，而且到宮川朝市亦很方便，會再來
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great experience at Hoshokaku. Great location and walking distance to the old town. They provide transfer service from the train station and daily morning shuttle bus. The daily meals, housekeeping and service were excellent. Totally enjoyed my time in Takayama,
• FUNG HA (10/5): 旅館非常漂亮，職員態度友善，客房整潔，值得一試 - 早餐及晚餐都很豐富，獨立1set，職員態度友善，值得一提是整個旅館佈值日式，非常漂亮，客房很整潔，而且入住的多是本地人，環境保持非常整潔，浸溫泉時，我們去的時候，基乎包埸，值得一試
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic stay in beautiful Takayama - Amazingly wonderful. The best ryokan onsen my wife and I have experienced. We will go back.
• K (8/5): - 総合的によかったです。お風呂が少し熱いかな。 あとデザートで抹茶のババロアに酸っぱいヨーグルトは合わないかな。あとはとてもよかったです。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 気持ちよく滞在出来ました。 - 清潔感のある好感の持てるお宿でした。 チェックイン時も食事のときも、対応に不安なく居られました。 土地柄、ちょっと道がわかりにくいかも…です。
• JIHUN (6/5): - 우선 유후인에잇는 료칸만큼 저녁식사가 만족스럽지 못해요 가짓수도 그렇고 양도 그렇고.. 또 온천지역에서 좀 멀리잇긴 하지만 사진에잇는 노천 온탕은 따로 돈을 지불 해야합니다 물론 무료로 이용할수 잇는곳이 잇긴 하지만 글쎄요.. 시내랑 가깝다는것 빼고는 그닥 좋은진 모르겟어요
• kam tong (10/5): 愉快旅程 - 環境清休服務員溝通能力良好整體相當清潔，非常推薦。
• Verified traveler (10/5): 快適な旅館です - スタッフの方々は付かず離れずのとても良い距離感で、快適に過ごすことができました。 ロビーは広くて開放感がありました。お部屋も、快適でした。 温泉も露天風呂からの景色がとてもよかったです(*´-`) 歩いて古い町並みにも行けます。 朝ごはんのほうば味噌がとても美味しかったです。 高山に行く際は、ぜひまた泊まりたい旅館です。
• KAIYU (10/5): - 非常舒服的體驗，服務也很好。
• Patrick (6/5): - Wir hatten ein Zweier-Zimmer im japanischen Stil und waren damit eigentlich ganz zufrieden. Vielleicht etwas altmodisch von der Einrichtung, aber ansonsten gut ausgestattet (Kühlschrank, Wasserkocher). Leider gab es als Bad nur eine kleine Plastik-Kabine, aber wenn man eh im (schicken und gut ausgestatteten) Onsen abhängt, ist das weniger schlimm. Gravierender ist u.U. eher, dass es auch explizite Raucherzimmer gibt und einige Leute, insbesondere Reisegruppen, scheinbar gerne mal die Türen auflassen. Dadurch haben dann alle etwas davon. Am Service, dem Personal und dem WiFi gab es nichts auszusetzen. Die Lage des Ryokans ist eigentlich gut, um die Altstadt zu erkunden. Abends ist dort aber nicht viel los. Wer gerne noch etwas essen gehen will, muss evtl. weiter laufen. Achtung: zu dem (hohen) Zimmerpreis kommen weitere ¥150 pro Person und Nacht als Steuer dazu, die beim Checkout in Bar zu bezahlen sind.
• Avi (10/5): Amazing place with amazing people. - This place is AMAZING. In addition to the beautiful atmosphere and the gorgace location, we got an OUTSTANDING help from a staff member that made numerous calls to resolve a bus schedule that was changed because of the typhoon and was able to resolve the situation. Food is excellent and is served in a beautiful way. If we go back to Takayama this is the place we'll stay !!!
• Hucklebetty (10/5): A special experience in a lovely town - From the start of our visit, when we were met by friendly staff who looked after us very well, we felt pampered. And this continued for the rest of our time there.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely Japanese Ryokan Very authentic and peaceful with friendly and helpful staff. Great location above Takayama and a lovely area for public bathing help make for a relaxing stay
• Yoshi (10/5): - Excellent staff and perfect location. We have chosen a Japanese style room with Private Open-Air Bath, City View.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good time was had by all. We recommend this hotel to anyone. Thanks to the staff.
• Dennis T (10/5): - what an unforgetable experience. a true japanese style hotel with private onsen in our room. very good and friendly staff. nice view. very clean, the dinner and breakfast is good, but not the best. worth every cents of money you spend. highly recommended.
• Amir (10/5): Excellent accomodation! - Excellent accomodation!
• julian/ gloria (10/5): Great location - Lovely hotel, very authentic clean and great staff. We would certainly recommend to all our friends.
• Philip (8/5): Excellent Staff - Hotel staff were very attentive. Saki is a great credit to the hotel and could not do enough to help us in both our enquiries prior to our arrival and when we were at the hotel. Had a Japanese style room as we had to move from the smoking room which we were first offered. Good pick up service and return from/to the station. Very handy to a large park with magnificent autumn leaves during our stay but also within easy walking distance to the old part of town.
• Lynne (8/5): Lovely clean friendly hotel - great breakfasts! - A little hard to find but nice clean accommodation with friendly staff. Yes I would recommend this hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great baths and view from somewhat dated room - A couple of staff weren't as friendly as we were used to in Japan but the rest were nice. Highlight is definitely the hot baths with massage chair! Beds felt pretty old and lumpy and the room generally felt a bit like you were in your Granny's spare back bedroom but was just about the right side of quaint to get away with it.
• Greg (10/5): Great location - We wanted to be more in the middle of town but this place was great. The Spa very nice and many of the other guests were Japanese. The walk up the hill can be a bit of a climb but it is worth it.
• anonymous (8/5): Picturesque setting - Lovely ground floor rooms and excellent location for walking to shops and market
• JI WON (8/5): Good service - Hot spring and bath was good. N service also good
• Julie (8/5): Good hotel but would benefit from a refurb - Good hotel, a little out of town but easily walkable with very helpful staff and lovely onsen (quiet in the day but very busy in evening). The rooms are a little run down but spacious and comfortable.
• po yiu ivy (8/5): Good for holiday - Good location very close to the old town, nice and friendly staff, meal serving were too hurry
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great service - This is a traditional ryokan style hotel. The service is great and the staff is very friendly. No WIFI in the rooms, but there is free wifi in the lobby. Overall a great experience.
• Martin (10/5): Comfortable Ryokan in Takayama - The hotel was comfortable, and I'm traditional Japanese style. The included onsen is relaxing and free of charge when staying at the hotel. I recommend the Japanese style breakfast. The hotel itself is also located in a quiet neighborhood. Overall a wonderful experience.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Highly recommend! - We had an amazing stay at Hoshakaku. The staff were generally friendly and helpful. The highlight was the room! We booked the room with the in room outdoor bath. This was worth every penny! Along with the bath, you are provided with your personal massage chair and 'unlimited' supply of drinks. I looked into the female relaxation room but didn't feel the need to leave our perfectly equipped room. The hotel also provides good tips on onsen etiquette in English. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel to those of you seeking a relaxing stay during your trip in Takayama
• Conwaykid (10/5): Great traditional ryokan experience - We got an amazing deal so chose to stay here. It turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. The hotel is on the other side of town from the station, but right in the heart of the cherry blossom festival - so the trade-off is a no-brainer. A cab costs about 1,800 yen. Staff were not great with English, but went out of their way to help anyway! So lovely. Dining was good for dinner (traditional Japanese style) but we probably would have preferred a buffet breakfast than the traditional Japanese breakfast set-menu. But like I said - it was a good deal so we managed anyway :) This hotel has probably the best public bath in the town - anything better is a fair drive away out of town.
