An exceptional hotel that ticks all the boxes for me. Wonderful staff and service. Location is very convenient with a Family Mart a stone’s throw away and close to the Old Town with lots of restaurants and shops. The onsen is a bonus. Free drinks in the evening are very welcome. Love it!

A beautiful hotel! We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is in the middle of the historic area of Takayama. It’s walking distance to everything you’d like to see. The hotel is clean, staff were super kind. They have free drinks each evening in the lounge and offer both western or Japanese breakfast for a fee. The hotel isn’t the most sound proof however it’s a quiet area where shops and restaurants close at a reasonable time so we had no trouble sleeping. Our room was very spacious and clean. We found the beds to be comfy. It was about a 15 minute walk from the train station.

I felt that the property is over-represented on the site. It was OK, but lack a lot of what the images show.
The beds were also very hard, probably the hardest we had in our 30 days of travel in Japan.

The hotel is in a great location for the old town, but when you read ‘Zen’, think very hard mattresses, minimal storage / hanging space and a sink in the main room instead of the bathroom. The main communal area where the free beer and sake is served reminded me of my old school canteen - very little atmosphere!

Overall a good medium range hotel. It is near the old street.

Fantastic hotel, about a 15 minute walk from train & bus station. Right in the heart of Takayama. Walkable to everywhere within 15 mins. Breakfast fantastic, it alternates between Japanese one day and western style the next. Beautifully presented food. There is a free drink every night in the restaurant/bar area where you can have a sake tasting of 3 different sakes. The onsen is lovely and relaxing. The room was spacious and clean and very comfortable, we slept really well. Bathroom small, but great shower and lots of hot water. Would definitely recommend.
