There was some large water stains on the roof of the room. When the hairdryer was plugged in to use in the shared bathroom it affected the lights, which made me a bit nervous.

Very close to the station. The names of the guests on the front board was a nice touch. Fun to see your own name there. It's a very old building in need of some TLC but it did exactly what we needed, which was a place to crash for the night.

Comfy beds. Loved it all

So cozy especially given that outside is raining and cold. I have given up eating outside for dinner and breakfast, but just buy from convenience store and eat in the room desk while watching tv. The onsen is also my first time experience and it’s super relaxing.

Excellent value for money! Half way between the station and old town, this is a true gem. Our room was huge and had a private bathroom, as well as 2 balconies.

showers only available at the onsen. I believed was a separated room. Not great inconvenience though.

I'm a tall guy and I banged my head about 15 times on the door frames.

The onsen. The location. The staff. The rooms

Pleasantly surprised about public bath being tattoo friendly. Staff was great! I really enjoyed my time here. They even write your name out in the front of establishment.

The mattresses are a little hard but we didnt mind that. The restaurants all needed reservations in advance but that has nothing to do with Yama no Iori.

The friendlyness of the staff and room decoration was top-tier. The onsen was great, very relaxing. When you walk onto the property, there will be a sign with your name on it, we thought that was a very cool detail! There are simple maps of Takayama available in the Lobby, the old man owner showed us some nice place to go to. It was very rainy our first day and we got complimentary umbrellas. We really loved everything about this place. Two small tips for 1st time visitors: 1 make sure you reserve a restaurant in advance! 2 bring a good coat or plenty of layers!!

The place offer no breakfast but there is a fantastic coffee place just 5 minutes walking, so we really enjoyed our stay.

This was the only hotel where we found really comfortable futon. They have very thick mattress and they are extremely comfortable. We took the room without private bathroom but it was absolutely fine since the common bathroom is really nice and pleasant.

Enjoyed the onsen after a cold day, room was clean and near to tourist attraction. Appreciate the hot tea and coffee at the lobby. Room was spacious and quiet too

Nice traditional style rooms with a good amount of space for two and a bathroom. The onsen baths felt a little old but were very quiet and open for a good amount of time.

Bathroom was pretty tired.

Room was great and warm. Close to the train station and just off the main road to the tourist area.

No hot water for shower.

Fantastic Ryoken with onsen if you wanted to use it. Staff were lovely and friendly and provided water and snacks in the room. Only 5 minutes from the station and very close to the old town.

It was a very nice hotel with typical Japanese accommodation. Old style building full of charm and character

Hot water takes ages to arrive at a some hours, but to be fair guests are advised. Plently of hot water when it gets through. Electric jug in the room would be appreciated.

The facility has retro charm, lovely detail in the screens and room format. Enjoyed the lack of plastic, soulless modern fittings. Great little spot and staff are eager to please. Beds were fabulous.

Run by the old staff but very kindness. The luggage elevator can be used when check-out if you ask the staff. The bed is comfortable and clean. Easy to find.

Hodakaso Yamano Iori is a wonderful Ryokan located in the central of Takayama town. The Ryokan run by a group of elderly and they were all really nice and polite! We loved everything about it. From the old building itself, traditional japanese style interior, our room was spacious, the onsen, the welcome drinks and snack, our name on the shoes storage area and outside the guest board were both really sweet. We stayed a good 6 days in it and wish to stay longer. Highly recommended! One thing to note as they don't provided washing machine and you have to walk 5 minutes away to get your clothes wash but it's really didn't bother us much. We just loved to take any chance to explore this little town Takayama.

Very good location in central Takayama, lovely staff, cosy rooms. Nice Onsen.
