We loved our stay here. It’s a traditional ryokan that feels straight out of the 70s with gorgeous furniture and rotary phones. The rooms are a good size with comfy mattresses. The location is good, only a short distance from the train station. The onsens are great and often empty so you get them to yourself. The staff speak limited English but are helpful and friendly.

Felt like an authentic japanese place to stay. The floor boards are a little squeaky and place is far from new but this place was perfect for us, the onsen was nice (male separated from female). We tiok some pics of ourselves in the provided japanese bathrobes, downstairs there is an area where a traditional fireplace would be which was great for photos.

Takayama stopover
It was a ryokan but really small to be advertised suitable for 3 persons.The walls were really thin and noises from the adjoining room was fortunately stopped by front desk.
Sufficient to sleep but not luxuriate in.

I hadn’t realized this was a ryokan (or perhaps ryokan like). The rooms were traditional with a lovely seating area and there was tea and croissants. The Onsen was lovely! The shower/bathroom in the room had questionable water pressure and there was definite air in the lines causing it to blast out or be inconsistent. The rooms are a bit dated (rotary phones! Ha!), but the location was great and overall it was a positive experience. Having my name on the entry and on a shelf for slippers in the entry was a sweet touch.

This was a lovely stay in a spacious room. The fridge and AC were great additions. The staff was very friendly, and they were very kind when I asked for a larger hall jacket. The location was amazing, and I spent most of my time walking around nearby. It was quiet and well priced!

Fabulous location, super cosy, traditional ryokan. Arriving to find a warm welcome with our name at the entrance was a lovely touch. Beds were nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this ryokan.

Good sized room and relatively easy to find however, for some reason they were not serving breakfast on either of the two morning I was there. Part of the fun of staying in a ryokan is to enjoy traditional food so I was a little disappointed by this aspect.
On the positive side, the room was a very good size and typical ryokan style. The sento bath was good and included in the price.

Lovely authentic Japanese hotel with a gorgeous touch. Love the table cushions and Japanese tea set provided. The onsen was amazing and beautifully clean. All soap and towels provided Room was amply large enough. Central location. Close to everything of interest. Staff friendly and helpful.
