Guest Reviews
- emanuela (9/5): - Camera bellissima in stile giapponese.
Accoglienza del proprietario ottima.
Doccia prenotabile ad orario Niente
- Simona (10/5): Una bellissima esperienza in una casa tradizionale giapponese. Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di dormire con la pioggia che ba - Una bellissima esperienza in una casa tradizionale giapponese.
Abbiamo avuto la fortuna di dormire con la pioggia che batteva sul tetto in legno, creando un ambiente molto rilassante.
Il proprietario è molto disponibile, gentile e parla anche bene l’inglese.
Una esperienza da provare assolutamente in quel di Takayama. Bisogna esser fortunati ad avere vicini non rumorosi
- jose (10/5): - Todo muy comodo y muy bien explicado por Octavio, el propietario
- Willow (10/5): It was utterly fantastic! Would recommend to anyone visiting Takayama! - The guest house owner and It's owner (Octavio) were both truly wonderful! Between the help he gave us to plan our day trip, the well kept rooms, and the amazing local area, we couldn't have picked a better place. Octavio even gave us a ride to the train station at the end of our stay (since it was pouring rain). 10/10!
- Kevin (9/5): - Very clean and very cool traditional home in the old area of town. Owner met us upon arrival to explain the property details and answer all the question we had about the town.
- Helene (10/5): Un lieu incroyable tenu par une personne tout aussi incroyable. - Tout. C’était absolument parfait. Rien
- Iván Misael (10/5): - Japanese warmth is best represented by Octavio being a wonderful guest, providing all the information and support to have an excellent stay in Takayama-And he speaks great Spanish!
Greatly managed traditional Ryokan Everything was great, 15 minutes walking from the station which is fair :)
- Michelangela (10/5): - Il proprietario è a dir poco meraviglioso, appena arrivati ci ha accolto con un saké di benvenuto con due biscotti tipici, ci ha mostrato cosa vedere e in quali ristoranti mangiare e ci ha spiegato la ninja house. Si tratta di una casa tipica giapponese, silenziosa, calma e molto pulita..
A takayama faceva freddo ma nella stanza si stava molto bene e anche i bagni, nonostante fossero in comune, erano molto molto puliti.
Octavio è davvero un proprietario incredibile, ci ha addirittura accompagnato alla stazione.
Se tornerò a Takayama, sicuramente la ninja house sarà la mia dimora.
- Adriana (10/5): - Octavio-san gave us a warm welcome and explained not only the facilities and anemnities, but also the surrounding area and the sights in detail.He speaks very good English and Spanish, so he was able to answer all our questions and give us tips about what attractions to visit and where to find good restaurants. He went out of his way to be of service: he offered us a vert good sake as a welcome drink on arrival and prepared coffee for us in the morning, then even drove us to the bus station.
The house offers everything and the interior decoration is cozy and authentically Japanese at the same time, we felt very comfortable. Everything
- Aditya (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): Maravilloso - Este alojamiento es una auténtica joya. Se trata de una acogedora casa de madera en Takayama, con encantadoras habitaciones de estilo tradicional japonés. Su ubicación es excelente, y la atención de Octavio es simplemente excepcional. La casa está equipada con todo lo necesario para que te sientas cómodo durante tu viaje.
- Julie (10/5): We hope to return. - Beautifully appointed guesthouse in a convenient and quiet location.
- Nicola (10/5): Great value stay in this traditional house with a charming host. - Octavio was a lovely host and made us feel really welcome. We loved the house and Takayama generally. Highly recommend this place. Nothing
- Aliia (9/5): Красивый дом, замечательный хост - Хозяин дома Октавио-сан прекрасный хост. При заселении угостил нас напитками (предложив на выбор зеленый чай, саке и домашнее вино), подарил карту города и подробно рассказал, что можно посмотреть. Отнес наш тяжелый чемодан на второй этаж. Комната нам очень понравилась, уютная и чистая, постели мягкие. Обогреватель в комнате справлялся хорошо (мы жили в середине ноября и ночью в Такаяме было около нуля). Туалет и душ общие, есть система онлайн-бронирования душа, очень удобно. Туалет самый крутой, что я видела в Японии, сам поднимает крышку, когда заходишь в комнату :D Утром Октавио-сан угощает вкусным кофе и тостами. При выселении он предложил подвезти нас до станции, так как у нас был тяжелый чемодан. Мы очень благодарны, нам понравилось наше пребывание в Такаяме. Комната отапливалась хорошо, но в ванной комнате было очень холодно, маленький обогреватель не особо справлялся. Но мы отнеслись к этому с пониманием, в горах холодно, здание старинное, и дом тяжело отапливать. Надо просто быть готовым к тому, что осенью и зимой в общих помещениях будет холодно
- Cristina (9/5): - La ubicación, el anfitrión (súper amable, hablaba español y nos ayudó mucho con la explicación de que ver y los horarios del pueblo), la habitación de 4 era muy amplia. Había olores un poco raros en los baños, pero era lo único.
- Johan (10/5): -
- Juan (9/5): Guesthouse de tradición japonesa - La ubicación y el dueño. Octavio es una maravilla de anfitrión. Habla muy bien español y cuando llegas te explica que ver y como llegar a puntos de interés de Takayama. No creo que haya algo que no me haya gustado. Lo único que se me ocurre es que las escaleras son muy empinadas y hay que bajar con cuidado.
- Lucas.M (10/5): - Superbe, Octavio est très gentil et serviable. Il est toujours au petit soin avec ses invités. Il conseille sur la ville, offre des origami et le thème du ninja est très présent dans le logement ! Comme la plupart des logements, le moindre mouvement et toute la maison entend donc vous pouvez être réveillé la nuit si quelqu'un va aux toilettes.
- Elisabeth (9/5): - Loved the welcoming, can ask any information. Only 2 rooms so the shared bathroom is no issue at all. You reach all spots in 5’ walking. Loved this place!
- Peter (10/5): Great hospitality in a nice neighborhood - Octavio was a great host. He welcomed us with a drink while we checked in, after which he showed us around the Ninja House. A very nice and authentic Japanese style house. Our room must have a really good vibe/energy, as we had one of the best sleep of our trip :D Octavio looked after us and our needs during our stay. We even got a light breakfast with coffee in the morning (which was a pleasant surprise). Due to the type of the house, the rooms are not exactly soundproof, and you can hear your neighbors. But we had no issues during our stay.
- Jörg (10/5): -
- Kilian (10/5): -
- Frennie (7/5): -
- Pascale (8/5): Bon rapport qualité /prix - Conforme à la description pratique très proche du centre historique bon accueil d’Octavio RAS
- Silvia (10/5): Gran hospedaje con gran amfitrión - Todo sobre todo la hospitalidad
- Sarah (10/5): - Octavio is an amazing host, he welcomed us with a drink and shared tips on local attractions and meals. The room was surprisingly spacious, felt clean and safe.
He went above and beyond by helping transport our luggage to our next hotel in Takayama, which let us enjoy the town without worry.
- Yajaira (9/5): Lovely and authentic accommodation! - Octavio was very friendly and helpful and the stay was very clean and nice! He even took us to the train station on our check out day! Maybe another small lamp for the room, we thought the fluorescent lights were a bit strong
- keith (10/5): -
- Natalia (10/5): Inolvidable!! - La atención de Octavio suprema !! El lugar es mágico y transmite muchísima paz Nada
- Margherita (8/5): Abbiamo passato solo una notte e potuto visitare Takayama con tranquillità. Oste molto disponibile, gentile e ospitale. - Tipica casa giapponese , accogliente e pulitissima.
- Joseph (10/5): Excellent - Octavio is the best host you could hope for — his incredibly helpful and highly communicative friendly attitude really elevated our stay in Takayama. The house is clean, well equipped, and situated in a quiet area a short walk away from the markets and restaurant area. The beds are comfy so we slept well despite the hot September heat in our air conditioned room. Also the bathroom booking system is smart and ensures your morning plans won't be delayed by other guests. Would absolutely stay here again.
- Sofiène (4/5): La ubicación es buena, sirve si lo que buscas es dormir en una habitación de estilo japonés. El host es muy simpático pe - En general el estado del alojamiento es limpio. Varios puntos notables, en primer lugar hay que reservar en una aplicación que solamente se puede usar si estas conectado al wifi (es decir es necesario estar en el alojamiento para hacerlo) para ducharse. Hay un solo baño con un total de 6 huéspedes.
No se puede estar en el alojamiento de las 10 a las 14 horas.
No hay mucha intimidad, se escucha todo y además a pesar de ser simpático el host está muy por detrás y se siente observado y no cómodo.
Último punto es que no se da llaves de la puerta de la entrada y se cierra a la noche entonces hay que avisar al host para salir. No tienes mucha libertad en cuánto a manejar libremente tus tiempos
- Cioccolo (10/5): Un giorno tranquillo in una ninja house di takayama - La struttura è davvero bella e confortevole, una vera e propria esperienza in una casa giapponese che raccoglie più di 100 anni e tenuta benissimo. Octavius San è stato gentile e disponibile.
La casa godeva di tutti i comfort per soggiornare a Takayama. Super soddisfatto.
- Laura (9/5): Recomendable. - Zona apartada del bullicio. Todo se puede hacer caminando. Octavio habla español y nos resolvió todas las dudas que teníamos. Habitación amplia para ser Japón. Habitación muy auténtica en su decoración, zona compartida de comedor también muy auténtica. Repetiríamos!!! Hay que tener en cuenta, que para subir a la habitación se han de subir unas escaleras empinadas. Para nosotros no fue ningún problema.
- Charalampos (9/5): - Very helpful host, easy to park, great spot, clean facilities
- Giulia (9/5): Ninjia Ryokan da non perdere - Ryokan vicino al complesso dei templi di Takayama, passeggiata assolutamente da fare.
Octavio san è un host gentilissimo e premuroso che non ci ha fatto mancare nulla. Punti extra per avervi consigliato i bagni pubblici vicino all'hotel è stata un'esperienza autentica bellissima.
Raccomandatissimo Il parcheggio è a pagamento ma molto comodo vicino il ryokan
- Geert (8/5): Very good - nice host, good location, toast and tea for breakfast online reservation system for the bathroom
- Darren (8/5): Very good -
- Matthew (10/5): Coolest place we've stayed. Amazing owner - We checked in late and the owner was very accommodating and helpful. One of the coolest places we stayed. It had sick art and swords and was very authentic Japanese style living. I thought the futons were very comfortable, my girlfriend not so much. Major shoutout to the owner, he even drove us to the train station for free even though he had a busy day. He gave us lots of helpful tips and points of interest in our next location.
- Agustina (10/5): Exceptional - Great host. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely property, fantastic host. Only 2 or 3 rooms, booking system for the bathroom works well. Would highly recommend
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Manuela (10/5): Highly recommended! -
- Laurence (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely loved staying here. Octavio was as helpful and nice as the reviews all say. He greeted us with a drink and offered us information that was very helpful. He even offered to take us down to the station in the morning when we had to leave early. The beds were comfortable. There is toast and jam and coffee waiting for us in the morning. The shared baths and shower were spotless and there was never a conflict. The location near the temple walk was lovely as was the entire town.
- Cassandra (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location.
Octavia the host was super helpful and generous with advice.
- Inbal (10/5): Best host, cool Japanese house, great location. - Octavio is the best host owner of the house. Very calm and happy, gave us very good information and explanation about Takayama. Have to do booking for the shared shower. Great location! Gave us a ride to station and free of charge breakfast of coffee and toast. The location of the shared bathroom is downstairs while bedrooms are upstairs. The way to the bathroom can be complex to some people. Since it's a classic Japanese home, walls are thin to hear the next bedroom.
- Lynda (10/5): Nimja house owned by a ninja - Fantastic.
- Karolina (10/5): Don’t miss this gem in Takayama ❤️❄️ - We had the most wonderful stay at the Ninja House. The host was most welcoming and helpful, marking on a map both the main and lesser known places for us to see and patiently answering questions. He helped us create a varied itinerary for our 3 night stay in Takayama which, largely thanks to our host’s knowledge and his kindness, we found to be one of our favourite destinations in Japan. The coffee and toast breakfast was lovely and the room was super clean and cosy, featuring everything we needed. The shared toilets and bathroom were spotless and we liked the booking system. We stayed at the Ninja house back in January and it’s the most wonderful memory for us - we very much hope to return one day. We also treasure the origami cranes we were kindly given by the host - thank you.
- Dion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arturo (10/5): - Lugar tranquilo, limpio y cerca de todo. El dueño habla español, es súper amable y desde que llegas te sientes bienvenido. Lo recomiendo ampliamente!!
- Anandhia (10/5): Exceptional - I love the host, he is very nice ! He drove us to the station as we had many luggages. His instructions also very clear and i love the ryokan ninja style of the house!
- Marlize (10/5): Perfect cosy friendly - A wonderful experience. The host Octavia is a fantastic host. Warm and cozy accommodation. The welcome drinks and breakfast toast and coffee was a nice touch. He stayed up late as we arrived late in town… and offered to take our bags (lots of bags:) to the next hotel. Absolute gentleman…would stay here again 100% N/A
- Deborah (10/5): Amazing time at Ninja House - Chill vibe, such a kind man who runs the place, spacious shower and room, warm, cozy beds, toilet right outside door and kept very clean. Only a 10 minutes walk away walk to most attractions. Breakfast coffee and toast was a nice touch, thank you Octavia! NOTHING, amazing stay
- Brooks (10/5): Exceptional - Octavio was the best host that we had our entire trip. Really made us feel welcomed to his guest house and city. Went above and beyond to make the stay special - drink on arrival, drove us to the station upon leaving. Can’t say enough good words about our stay here.
- Carolina (10/5): Great place! - Everything was great! Octavio, "the ninja" owner, is very very nice and always ready to help. The Japanese style room was large and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was impeccably clean, large and modern and the time reservation system for the shower is very good, because you can be sure you have the bathroom all for yourself at the scheduled time. The welcome sake Octavio offered us when we arrived was a very nice touch, so were the toasts and coffee in the morning (try the orange jelly, it is perfect!). The location is good for sightseeing, you can walk everywhere. Takayama is a lovely city, definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
- Meggan (10/5): The best place I stayed so far! - Since I got lost on my way to Takayama, I arrived very late. Nevertheless, the owner, Octavio-san, was nice enough to wait for me and give me a quick tour of the house, and he also took the time to recommend me some places to see in the town! The house is so beautiful, very clean, and the futon amazing, I slept like a freakin' baby!
You have to walk a bit to see the main spots, but everything is at least 10 minutes walk , so very close. Overall I really enjoyed my stay, Octavio-san is a wonderful host, and I wished I stayed more in Takayama!
- Low (7/5): Good -
- Kell (9/5): Ninja House with World´s kindest host - fluent in English and Spanish - Ninja House is well located in the periphery of old city of Takyama. Fifteen minutes walk from the station. When you arrive on foot you have already had a marvelous introduction to Takayama and after arrival the host kindly serves you a drink - e.g. a cup of tea - to sip while he tells you where you are and where to go following your wishes. The mattresses are rather thin - a littel hard for your bag
- Jean-claude (10/5): A wonderful quiet traditional guesthouse, with only three guest rooms, to truly enjoy Takayama. - Octavio was an extremely welcoming and helpful host. The room was a very comfortable traditional Japanese room. The location in central-east Takayama was perfect, near the historical temples on one side and the old traditional streets on the other. Nothing.
- Adrian (10/5): Exceptional host and guest house, loved our stay, we were made to feel welcome as soon as we rand the bell, great host g - Welcome drink on arrival, exceptional customer service, amazingly friendly host, warm and welcoming with great knowledge of area and its surroundings Nothing
- Jessica (9/5): Great location and comfy stay. - The host is so welcoming with welcome sake and homemade plum wine. The house is lovely and the family room on the generous side. Great location for the main sites. And the host recommendations are worth it! The bright fluorescent lights in the bedroom! But otherwise super comfortable.
- Claire (9/5): Superb -
- Dave (9/5): Superb -
- Jack (9/5): Superb - Octavio was cool. I loved the Coffee in the morning. It was in a calm part of town No laundry service. Had to walk 20 mins into town to do laundry.
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oscar (7/5): Good -
- Simon (10/5): - Really enjoyable stay. Clean, comfortable and great experience. Host was extremely helpful and kind. Would stay again!!
- Caroline (10/5): Exceptional -
- Charlotte (10/5): Exceptional - The owner is very kind and very helpful. Listen to his recommendations, and you will see the best of Takayama. The room is great, spacious, and comfortable. It can be a bit cold in the morning, but there are extra blankets. It's a traditional house; if you want to experience a super friendly atmosphere, don't hesitate! Nothing, it was perfect!
- Zymantas (10/5): Most dedicated and welcoming host! - The house is beautiful, and the owner, Octavio, was the most welcoming and dedicated host we have ever met in our travels. Highly recommended! Everything was great
- Giovanni (10/5): Thanks, Octavio! - Stylish room, very clean and quite. The manager Octavio is really nice and helpful, he offered us saké and information. Even he offered to take us to the station when we were leaving. The hotel is at walking distance from the best locations in Takayama. Room is large and charming, chamber dresses kimono style were available. Toilette Is shared but perfect. Recommended! It was the cherry on the cake for our stay in Takayama. Everything was perfect
- Brendan (8/5): Lovely stay at a cozy and conveniently located guest house - Our host was very kind and gracious throughout our stay, going the extra mile at every point such as driving us to the station early for our train. The guest house was well situated, right near the shrines and closeby to the old streets. It was generally comfortable but not overly stylish. While having to book the shower is a practical system for avoiding conflict, it was a bit cumbersome and we found it inconvenient to have to decide when to shower the day before. In reality, a system where you may have to wait a bit is probably a better fit for us.
- Eliano (10/5): Great stay - Octavio is a great host. Speaks great english and is always willing to help.
Hostel is located very closely to city center.
Recommended nothing
- Christine (10/5): wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! - Defenitely one of the best places we have been to during our travels. The host is great :-) many thanks Octavio for the warm welcome, you made us feel at home - cosy, warm rooms, welcoming with nice special treats, very clean, close to beautiful temples in a nice, quite residential area. We would love to come back one day!
- Sarah (10/5): Fabulous stay. We would recommend this stay to anyone. - The host. He was very welcoming, friendly and kind. He gave us hot tea and sake on arrival and walked us through what we could see whilst we were in Takayama. The property was spotlessly clean and warm. It was a very cold day and it was lovely to have warm accommodation. Nothing. I would ultimately have liked another pillow but I didn’t ask as we were only staying one night but I’m sure whatever you needed, the host would go out of his way to help you. He’s amazing!!
Although I’d say if you are not physically able, the stairs up to the bedroom are very steep so avoid if stairs are a problem.
- Aekkaroj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Clothilde (9/5): Nice stay in a Japanese style house - Nice guesthouse in an old Japanese style house. The owner is very friendly and welcoming! We recommend to stay here if you are in Takayama Nothing !
- Coriney (9/5): Superb - Very friendly and helpful host. Quaint little place with a very tranquil sitting room, perfect for contemplation.
No issues with the shared bath as there is a booking system, which makes it efficient. Nothing.
- Oliver (10/5): Exceptional - The main staff, Octavio, was super nice and helpful. And the whole place was just a great value to stay in.
- Georgina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dawid (10/5): Exceptional -
- __steffi___ (10/5): It deserves to be named ninja house! :) - It was overall perfect, the host welcomed us very friendly and you get the feeling he really tries to make it a special stay for you (ninja house). We loved the room and it didnt make any problem to have the toilet outside the room cause its quite near and not many using it. The area around is really awesome. It was our best stay in Japan and we would come again if we ever get the chance to.
Arrigatou gozaimasu, Octavio-san. Only small negative point is the way to the train station but as it was raining when we get back Octavio even drive us to the station.
- Tobias (10/5): Exceptional - It was amazing beautiful. Silent and a very nice host who even brought us to the station by car.
- Hanna (10/5): Exceptional - It was perfect walking distance to interesting spots. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Octavio was an incredible host, gave us great recommendations for our last day in Takayama. Such a kind hearted person! Made it one of our best accomodation experiences of our whole trip. Thank you!
- Akiko (9/5): Superb -
- Petronella (10/5): Perfect! - We had a wonderful stay at the accommodation, the host was very friendly and helpful, everything was clean. In the morning he would prepare fresh coffee for us as an extra service. The last day he brought us to the translation by car which was very friendly! Loved everything, would certainly recommend this accommodation. Location is perfect, you can walk easily around in the area. Thank you! It was great. Nothing to complain about.
- Manote (9/5): Superb - The owner is very friendly and funny. You can easily walk to many Yakayama’s interesting places from this location.
- Julia (10/5): Was such a nice stay at Nija House! Octavius was so helpful and welcoming. He made sure we had everything we needed. The - Central, clean, extra amendities
- Carson (8/5): Good Atmosphere and Spacious Rooms - The house is a very small, quaint house with an excellent atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. Because there is only space for 2-3 groups to stay, it felt very intimate. Staff was friendly and helpful in giving advice and explaining nearby restaurants. There is only one shower for all people staying in the house. It's a 10-15 minute walk away from the heart of the city where the restaurants are.
- Peter (10/5): A strong recommendation for young travelers, singles or groups, A+ - With a hostel like feel, the Ninja house is perfect for young travelers, or a group of young travelers.
It is well situated within Takayama, being fairly central to everything. The walk from the station is simple enough, but can be a distance if you aren't used to it. The host was great, spoke very reasonable english, and was able to guide me through things to see, do, and eat.
The room I got was great, slightly larger than what I expected. You are in a traditional house, so make sure you are up for sleeping on a futon.
The ninja house is situated on a quiet side street, so noise isn't an issue. Clean, orderly, and tidy as with most places in Japan.
- Dylan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cabanis (10/5): Perfect and very pleasant! - Very clean and perfect location. The owner was very friendly and helpful! We truly enjoyed our stay at the Ninja House and highly recommend it
- Jk (7/5): Good -
- Joni (10/5): One of the friendliest stays in Japan! - Octavia, host, was so friendly and helpful. Gave us very great tips, for example. Place itself is beautiful and traditional Japanese style.
- Hayley (10/5): Exceptional - The host, Octavio, was very friendly and welcoming. He provided a welcome drink and toast and coffee for breakfast which were both welcomed surprises. He gives lots of great suggestions for things to do along with a map of Takayama.
- Hanna (10/5): - Good location and fantastic staff.
- Escarlet (10/5): Totally recommend. The Ninja house is an awesome place, very clean, well located, with parking and a hoster very kind a - We love everything in the house specially the place , the location and Octavio who was very kind. We felt welcomed.

- Lulu (9/5): Great! - We loved the host Octavian who helped us with everything. It felt very cosy and welcoming, huge plus having breakfast included. Small and sweet place. A must!
