Guest Reviews

• Filippo (10/5): -
• Maria Ignacia (10/5): -
• Jean-Pierre (9/5): - Le havre de paix et la remontée dans le temps. Lieu et prestation incroyable. Il faut absolument tester le petit dejeuner, pour la cuisine et pour le lieu. A part changer de chausson dans chaque pièce, je ne sais ce qui pourrait être critiqué ;)
• Pauline (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful building run by the sweetest ladies. Wonderful breakfast. Great location next to the station. The bathrooms were a bit outdated but this is to be expected in such a beautiful old building.
• Mette Tulin (10/5): -
• Guglielmo (10/5): Camera mozzafiato, tradizione e gentilezza - Ospitalità eccellente e gentile Niente
• Mason (10/5): - The hostess was very sweet and accommodating. The breakfast was nice too.
• Markus (10/5): - Alles
• christelle (9/5): - C'était superbe! Nous avons eu un excellent repas et petit déjeuner traditionnel japonais incroyable 😍C'est parfait pour découvrir l'art culinaire japonais. L'hôtel et les chambres sont un peu vieillottes....
• Margit (10/5): Übernachtung im Ryokan ein Erlebnis - Kleines Reisegasthaus mit superfreundlichen Gastgebern. Großes Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und WC. Einfach eingerichtet, aber alles super sauber. Abends konnten wir noch 30 Minuten im hauseigenen Onsen entspannen. Am nächsten Morgen mit Liebe zubereitetes japanisches Frühstück in einem riesigen Raum mit Blick auf den Garten. Einfach traumhaft schön.
• Achala (10/5): - Nice, quiet ryokan. We liked the private bath. The location is excellent as it it walking distance from the station and variety of restaurants.
• Larissa (10/5): -
• Irina (10/5): -
• Javier (9/5): -
• Ricard (10/5): Excelente - Nos gustaron mucho las instalaciones, mantiene la esencia tradicional pero lo mejor es el personal, la amabilidad que tienen
• Karen (10/5): Fui protagonista de una pelicula de Studio Ghibli! - Fue una experiencia única! desde la excelente atención de sus anfitrionas, que constantemente nos hicieron sentir cómodas y bien recibidas. Hasta su desayuno que fue increíblemente especial y delicioso. Fue como quedarse en casa de un familiar en Japón. Nos encantaba verlas durante el día, nos transmitieron muchísima paz y se sentía el trato muy personalizado. Todo el Ryokan es INCREIBLE. La limpieza y los servicios que ofrece es excepcional. La ubicación es ideal, cercano a la estación y al centro de Takayama. Volvería mil veces. Irme :( realmente nos encantó visitar este lugar tan único.
• Yuuki (10/5): -
• ELROI (10/5): Highly recommend Japanese experience - We had a wonderful experience. The host is exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We stayed for two nights and felt very comfortable. This is traditional accommodation, and it met our expectations regarding the facilities.
• Nicolo (8/5): -
• Mathias (10/5): Exceptionnel ! - Magnifique Ryokan, personnel attentionné, calme et confortable. Le petit déjeuner est excellent et peut être fait végétarien ! L’emplacement est super. Parfait si vous voulez vivre une expérience de logement à la japonaise. Le Onsen n’était pas très chaud, mais ce n’est qu’un détail.
• Mrs. Staie (10/5): -
• Ferkitaa (10/5): - El ryokan es precioso. La mujer que se ocupa del ryokan es un amor, super atenta y amable. Nos hizo sentir como en casa. Muy agradecido por todo. Nada, todo fue perfecto
• Robi.A (10/5): - Tutto fantastico, la struttura, la posizione, le camere tradizionali, la colazione. Ma sopratutto l'accoglienza, la cura e l'attenzione della dolce signora proprietaria del Ryokan, indimenticabile.
• jeroen (9/5): Gewelidig gastvrijheid, top ontbijt en uitstekende locatie. - De locatie is uitstekend. Dichtbij het station en ook dicht bij het oude stadje. Eigenlijk alles op loopafstand. De Ryokan zelf is ook top. Super lieve gastvrije mensen. Bij aankomst (het regende) werden we bij binnenkomst afgedroogd met een handdoek :-) Ook fijn dat er een familie onsen beschikbaar is die je gratis kunt reserveren. Het ontbijt is uitstekend. Je moet wel van Japans eten houden, voor onze kinderen geen succes maar voor ons als ouders wel. Weinig minpunten. Het enige puntje van aandacht is dat ‘ochtends vroeg het zonlicht door de ramen / raam schermen binnenkomt. Maar ook dat hoort bij een Ryokan ervaring.
• Vincent (9/5): - Un ryokan authentique, avec une superbe salle à manger. Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et attentionné. Très belle chambre, avec vue sur le jardin.
• Riccardo (10/5): Esperienza eccellente!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ - Esperienza eccezionale in un ryokan patrimonio unesco, sembra di essere nell’epoca Edo, tutto perfetto colazione tradizionale super, la signora che gestisce, super gentile e disponibile, quando siamo partiti ci ha aspettato e salutato fino a quando non abbiamo girato la strada!!!🥲 di una gentilezza che scalda il cuore ♥️
• Laura (10/5): -
• David (10/5): Amazing place in Takayama - We loved the staff of the Ryokan. Very kind and took care of every possible detail to have the experience we were looking for. The lovely staff gave us the best advices to enjoy Takayama. The room was just what we expected. We hope to come back one day.
• Manuel (1/5): -
• Robert (10/5): I wish I would come back some day - Everything Owner was great person, room was very clean and nice, breakfast was very tasty, parking place was next to ryokan Nothing
• Valérie (9/5): -
• TONI GARAÑENA (9/5): Original como la vida misma - La originalidad del hospedaje. Un lugar típico de ambiente total japones. A los baños les hace falta un reforma
• Sally (10/5): A wonderful, traditional Japanese experience and in fantastic town - amazing - A wonderful traditional ryokan - a great experience, particularly the Japanese bath which was an unexpectedly memorable experience - the water was so warm, lovely. The beds were firm (on the floor) and the heated blanket was much appreciated as it was quite chilly at this time of year. The owner was a charming woman who made us feel very welcome. Her breakfast was a fantastic, traditional Japanese breakfast, and delicious. Nothing really, all as expected.
• sara (10/5): -
• Antonella (10/5): Simple y placentero - Nos encantó vivir una experiencia más tradicional y auténtica. La anfitriona fue muy amable y el alojamiento estaba completamente limpio, cuando llegamos nos desinfectó ruedas y manija de las valijas , lo que indicaba como se manejaba todo dentro del alojamiento, hermoso. El desayuno un 10 !
• francesca (9/5): -
• Russell (8/5): -
• Noelia (9/5): Super recomendable - El personal fue MARAVILLOSO, y aunque no es el más moderno, te deja vivir la experiencia real de un ryokan. El desayuno estaba muy rico también. Y sólo por los dueños vale la pena volver. Además la ubicación también es perfecta. Hacía frío en las zonas comunes pero es que es normal en marzo.
• Linda (10/5): -
• Linda (10/5): Memorable stay - Beautiful ryokan close to Takayama station. Extremely clean and quiet. Staff are very kind and always ready to help. Learning a few Japanese words/phrases goes a long way to ease communication. Breakfast was delicious and filling. We also reserved the private bath one evening and slept so well afterwards. A truly memorable experience - make sure to book this place if you're heading to Takayama. Sadly dinner was not available during our stay but this was outside the staff's control. Other than that, we liked everything!
• Michele (10/5): Prima esperienza in un ryokan ed è stata impeccabile. La proprietaria del ryokan è super gentile e attenta, parla pochis - Tutto Niente
• Pablo (10/5): An Unforgettable Stay Thanks to Exceptional Hospitality - We had a truly wonderful stay at this ryokan and couldn’t be happier. What made the experience so special was the incredible kindness and care of the lady who runs it. She made us feel genuinely welcome and looked after every detail with warmth and dedication.
• Magdalena (10/5): - El alojamiento es muy lindo! Tiene todo para poder calefaccionarlo en el invierno. Nos gustó mucho poder usar el onsen. Los anfitriones fueron muy amables y el desayuno buenísimo!
• Ana (10/5): perfect - The hostess was the kindest woman, so accomodating and kind. Would recommend to anyone wanting a japanese hotel experience.
• Suvi (9/5): What a lovely stay! the staff were incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome. - Really lovely, historical building in good location. We stayed during winter and the rooms at night were quite cold.
• Allexia (10/5): Highly recommended. Would stay again in a heartbeat. - Centrally located, walking distance to restaurants and site seeing. The hosts were super helpful and sweet. The room was comfortable and spacious. The private onsen was also a bonus. The breakfast room was beautiful and the food was simply delicious! None. Just wish the onsen is also open in the morning.
• Samuel (10/5): -
• Béatrice (10/5): - La propriétaire était super accueillante et aidante tout le long de mon séjour. Je n’étais pas familière avec les pratiques habituelles des Ryokans traditionnels et elle m’a tout expliqué et montré comment faire! Le déjeuner était un de mes coup de cœur à Takayama, j’ai vraiment pu goûter à un déjeuner traditionnel avec des mets et ingrédients locaux! Je conseil fortement cet établissement pour votre passage à Takayama, bien situé et traditionnel, c’est parfait pour une immersion dans la culture de Takayama! Ma chambre était magnifique et très propre!
• Lina (10/5): What a lovely stay! - It was our first time staying in Japanese ryokan, and we couldn't be happier to choose this one. We were welcomed very warmly by the owner who kindly showed us around and offered to reserve a private family bath on the time that suits us best without any extra fee. We really enjoyed the relaxation time after the whole day exploring. We stayed in the Ryokan in late November, so the weather was cold already. However, we were provided with electric heating blankets and AC, so we didn't have any cold at night. In the morning we were served fulfilling and delicious traditional breakfast. It was a lovely stay.

• Didier (10/5): Dos días mágicos en un ryokan con onzen - La estancia en el Ryokan Kaminaka fue maravillosa. Las personas del lugar nos atendieron muy bien y siempre estaban dispuestos a ayudar amablemente. Experiencia sumamente recomendada! Todo estuvo excelente.
• Guest (10/5): what one dreams a true historical ryokan is like - comfort, quiet, tea, onsen - otherworldly! - the location was in easy walking distance of everything as the town is so small. the ryokan was a couple blocks off the main street, making it a quiet location, although this did not matter as much with my room as it faced the interior garden. breakfast was exceptional, the best breakfast we had during our 3 week trip. it included a brazier typical of the area w/ the magnolia leaf holding the miso sauce (hoba miso). i only wish the chef had been available for us to try dinner. the building was gorgeous. every carved detail, the clever layout of the rooms, all the way down to the green flecked subtle wall coverings provided a peaceful calming atmosphere. each of the rooms had a covered entry as if you were walking down a street looking at separate buildings. each of the rooms had a different set of carvings (butterflies, turtles, peonies, birds). hall lights were wood lamps. ceilings were beautiful. many historical items like the small iori. our room had a carpeted wood entry area to take ones shoes off. sliding doors revealed a spacious (8 but felt like 10 tatami?) sitting room with a dressing table in one corner & hanging rack in the opposite corner. a 2nd set of sliding doors led to the bedroom, of equal size. the futons & coverlets were very comfortable. sliding doors revealed a balcony with 2 chairs one could view the garden. this was a luxurious amount of space. tea, towels, yukata provided. the onsen was just right in temp and comfort and amenities. our host was an older woman who was gracious and helpful. we were allowed to drop off our bags prior to check in absolutely no criticism. wish we could have stayed longer
• Andre (7/5): Geweldige bediening, mooie sfeer, maar max 1 a 2 nachten om het een keer te hebben ervaren. - De sfeer van de kamer en de tuin was prachtig De verwarming was dramatisch. In het hotel zelf was het erg koud, geen wc op de kamer dus savonds de koude gang door moeten lopen. In de kamer zelf hangt een verwarming, maar die verwarmt alleen de bovenste laag van de kamer. Onderaan waar we sliepen was het ijskoud. Het voelde meer als kamperen dan als een hotelkamer.
• Claudia (10/5): Una experiencia que recomiendo hacerla 100% - Nos recomendaron dormir en un ryokan en nuestro viaje a Japón y superó completamente nuestras expectativas. Al llegar a Takayama está muy bien ubicado el ryokan, la atención fue excelente. El desayuno tanto el japonés como el otro muy muy bien. La señora un amor de persona. La verdad es que todo lo que vimos nos encantó, si es cierto que al estar en un ryokan el frio entra en la casa, pero si ponías la estufa estabas calentito en la habitación.
• Victoria (9/5): - The staff at the Ryokan Kaminaka were very welcoming. The breakfast was special and the location was great. In hindsight, I wish we had changed our itinerary and stayed longer.
• Laura (10/5): Recomendada 100% - ME ENCANTÓ, todo fue un sueño, el desayuno delicioso, las personas un amor, el ryokan super japonés y además divino, duerme delicioso, nos encantó y a pesar de ser baño y ducha compartida parecía que era solo nuestra, todo impecable, no queríamos irnos fue la experiencia real real de Japón 🇯🇵 y te hacen sentir como en casa.
• Jennifer (10/5): -
• Laura (10/5): Lo recomiendo mucho! - Me encantó el ryokan, desde el exterior al más pequeño detalle. Nuestra habitación tenía baño privado (WC + lavamanos + ducha/bañera estilo japonés todo separado). Todo muy limpio. El personal muy agradable aunque hablan poco inglés. Adaptaron el desayuno para mí, que soy vegetariana. El onsen es genial, estuvimos muy cómodas y la ubicación es prácticamente inmejorable. Lo recomiendo! No se me ocurre nada
• Ruth Mª (10/5): -
• Fernanda (10/5): -
• DAVID (10/5): Fantástico - El servicio espectacular, mucho encanto en el ryokan y en honsen muy bien también. El desayuno japonés nos encantó Todo excelente
• Suzan (10/5): Comfortabel verblijf in mooie ryokan met hele lieve eigenaren - Super vriendelijke eigenaren, heerlijk en uitgebreid ontbijt, goede locatie dichtbij trein en busstation, prive gebruik van de onsen was ook super fijn voor een eerste ervaring met een onsen. Bedden waren ook comfortabel. Leuke ervaring om in een ryokan te slapen, deze raad ik zeker aan. Geluid van de airco/verwarming van andere kamers
• HsinYing (10/5): -
• Gérard (8/5): Très bien. Ne pas manquer le chemin des temples, la maison Yoshijima et la maison du gouverneur. - Auberge traditionnelle japonaise. Onsen à l’ancienne, privatisée. Prix élevé.
• Alejandro (10/5): Increíble, todo perfecto - El trato ha sido excepcional. La mujer que te recibe es un encanto, súper amable y de lo mejor que te puedes encontrar. Solamente con el trato que te dan al llegar ya quedas encantado. Luego a destacar las facilidades para todo, el desayuno te lo preparan para la hora que tu les digas, personalmente hecho al momento y siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. Sin duda la mejor experiencia de hospedaje de nuestro viaje a Japón fue quedarnos aquí. Un 10 en todo Todo bien
• Elena (10/5): Excellent stay - Everything was amazing.
• Fiona Joan (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Takayama! - The location was perfect, easy walk to the bus and train station. Beautiful place to stay! Wonderful Japanese experience. The lady who looked after us was amazing! Made to feel very welcome. Would stay here again for sure!! Nothing could be better
• Catherine (10/5): Lovely stay, great staff - Beautiful building in a great location - it was a short walk to the train station, and to all the main sights of Takayama. The room we stayed in was so pretty, with views of the garden and comfy tatami beds. The staff team were very lovely - at one point we sat in some of the seating near reception, and the owner came over and brought us freshly made tea and a snack, which was incredibly kind! We booked a room with a shared bathroom - it wasn't a problem for us, because we spent a lot of time outside exploring Takayama, but might be impractical for some.
• Juan Enrique (10/5): Super - Très bien
• CECILE (10/5): - Accueil et gentillesse de la propriétaire. Chambres parfaites avec balcon. Bains chauds. Rien. Tout était parfait.
• Enrico (10/5): Esperienza giapponesa da provare - Ryokan autentico accogliente. Presenti in sede bagni pubblici ( non utilizzati) Personale molto gentile. Colazione tradizionale giapponese Posizione centrale a pochi passi dal centro e dalla stazione. Nulla
• Daniela (9/5): A travel back in time in traditional Japan - Great traditional accomodation, lovely breakfast and the staff have been just amazing. Highly recommended! We were in a room at the back where unfortunately you can hear the noise of the air conditioning units of the neighbouring buildings, so make sure to have earplugs.
• Niccolò (10/5): -
• Oda Jensen (10/5): -
• 玉萍 (7/5): - 無食用 枕頭可多一顆,可以使用
• Justina (8/5): -
• Sento (10/5): Espectacular - Experiencia 100% recomendable. El Ryokan precioso, el onsen privado y el personal encantador.
• Jose Javier (9/5): Ryokan perfecto - Todo muy acogedor! Los futones súper cómodos y el baño privado una gozada
• Jose Manuel (10/5): -
• Françoise (10/5): Expérience authentique - Plein de charme un peu désuet, personnel adorable, excellent petit déjeuner. J’y reviendrai avec plaisir. Jardin magnifique
• Nicola (10/5): - Host molto gentile e disponibile Colazione ottima Locali molto curati e belli
• Sara (10/5): La oba-chan preferida de nuestro viaje - Repetiríamos sin duda!! La oba-chan una señora encantadora, se esforzó por que nuestra estancia fuera lo mejor posible. El Onsen es para parejas, apto para personas con tatuajes y puedes ir cuando quieras. Se adaptó a nuestro horario y nos preparó el desayuno pronto. El baño es compartido pero no nos cruzamos a nadie en los dos días que estuvimos alojados.
• Eva (10/5): Un oasis de paz dentro de Takayama - El ambiente. Lo bonito y tradicional que era. La amabilidad y el servicio de la dueña. Es un oasis en Japón y te hace acercarte al Japón más antiguo. La habitación con vistas al jardín es maravillosa. Y el desayuno es delicioso y en un comedor que transmite paz y serenidad . Todo me gustó
• Reinier (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf op een mooie locatie - De host is ongelooflijk lief. De ryokan is netje, schoon, en de bedden zijn echt heel goed. De kamers hebben veel ruimte. Plus de locatie is top. Je loopt zo het oude gedeelte in.
• Enrico (10/5): -
• Matus (10/5): - Exceptional Ryokan with very kind and helpful personel. Delicious breakfast. Would definitely come again
• Gianluca (10/5): ESPERIENZA UNICA! - La struttura è stupenda e ti fa fa vivere appieno la stupenda cultura nipponica. Bellissimo anche l’onsen. La signora che gestisce il ryokan è di una dolcezza infinita. Quando siamo andati via ci ha fatto emozionare perché è rimasta sull’uscio della porta del ryokan fino a che non abbiam lasciato la strada della struttura. Ci guardava e ci salutava da lontano. Tutto tremendamente poetico e nostalgico. Un’esperienza unica!
• beatrice (10/5): - Il Ryokan Kaminaka si trova in una posizione ottima a Takayama, comoda sia per raggiungere la stazione che per esplorare il centro storico. Facilmente raggiungibile in auto, con la possibilità di parcheggiare accanto alla struttura. È gestito da una signora e da suo figlio, entrambi estremamente gentili, disponibili e pronti ad esaudire ogni richiesta con grande cortesia. La struttura mantiene tutto il fascino tradizionale giapponese, ma è curata nei minimi dettagli, offrendo comfort e pulizia impeccabili. Viene fornito anche lo yukata per accedere all’onsen, un'esperienza rilassante resa ancora più piacevole dal fatto che ci sono due bagni termali privati, prenotabili per coppie o famiglie. I futon sono sorprendentemente comodi e garantiscono un ottimo riposo. Al mattino viene servita una colazione giapponese eccezionale, preparata con cura e ingredienti freschi. Un soggiorno davvero autentico e rilassante. Consigliatissimo!

• Youssef (10/5): - Breakfast was just amazing And the host is very kind and helpful
• Francesca (8/5): -
• Jet (9/5): Most beautiful and very affordable ryokan of japan - The most authentic ryokan we have stayed in. Amazingly preserved with thin paper walls and wooden panels etc. It is a simple hotel but the onsen were nice and the dining-breakfast room is beautiful. Very friendly staff. Round the corner is an ancient (over 1000 years old ginkgo tree). There was no diner on the night we stayed there. Breakfast was great! But Japanese not everyone might enjoy it. Be aware of all Japanese habits and rituals and apply and respect them
