We booked the room that combine 2 beds and 3 futons for family trip. The room is awesome clean , large for 5 people and separated in well partition. The staff will make futon bed for us around 19.00-20.00. We really have good time here. Onsen bath were awesome, locate on the ground floor of the hotel with indoor and outdoor hot bath. Breakfast had very good variety with western food zone and Japanese zone. The souvenir shop was huge and provide many goods of takayama stuffs. The staffs were very friendly. Fair in english speaking.

Less but more! Traditional Ryokan with unique decorate. There was many private zones in public area to sit and live. All staffs were excellent service and helpful. Room was clean, I love Japanese desk with heater, it was so comfortable and made me lazy lol. Since this is small Ryokan I always use onsen as private. Dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy. Worthy all penny we paid. One thing recommend, if outdoor onsen will be larger and decorate combine to their garden will be perfect.

The location is great, 5 minute walk from the station. The staff was very nice, and very accommodating. They saw before check in that we're from Israel and had a map in Hebrew ready for us. The room was amazing! Newly renovated and they had gifts waiting for us (drinks and cookies). We had a traditional Japanese breakfast at the Ryokan, which was delicious, beautiful and a recommended experience in Japanese culture. At checkout we received a little Japanese toiletry bag as a gift.

Nice ryokan experience, the onsen (hot baths) are always a bonus, Clean facilities, much nicer than a western hotel. We had a matras instead of a futon which made it more comfortable. The staff were very nice and patient with our son. He decided to throw the stones in the reception area all over the carpet, when we arrived, they seemed very understanding about it and told us to leave it. Takayama was a fantastic place to visit, and this ryokan location was great.

People working at Ryokan Gizan were extremely kind. We had troubles with transportation and they were very responsive to messages and our last minute request to change the dates of our stay (not needed at the end). Both breakfast and dinner were special, seemed authentic. The place is clean, traditional, decorated with a lot of taste. Bathroom might seem outdated. The location is good, not hard to reach (Nohi busses ride from Takayama). We enjoyed a lot.

Inroom onsen was amazing, breakfast and dinner was exceptional, in only 2 days we spent there, we had wide range of Japanese delicacy, sashimi, miso variety, grilled fish, and including high quality hida beef. For lunch we head out to shin hotaka ropeway. The area is mostly only consist of hotel and onsen, so it's for relaxing only. The ryokan also has 2 amazing open air onsen on 5th floor which can be reserved once a day.

Really traditional ryokan with good onsen facilities. We went 3 times in the 2 nights we were staying. Perfect location if you are planning to visit kamikochi (only 30mins bus ride). There were multiple locally ran restaurants and 2 local convenient stores so don’t have to worry about food or snacking options. Just take note that this ryokan is in the hirayu onsen area (1h from takayama)

Charming old ryokan-type hotel with spacious rooms with outdoor private onsen. Additionally there were an indoor and outdoor onsen available for private use. Very quiet and peaceful location. Great to combine with visit to Kamigochi. Can be reached by public transport (bus). The dinner, which was included with the room for a small extra charge, was good. The staff was very friendly.

This is a beautiful place around the Japanese alps. The staff is amazing and helpful. Rooms are great and it has 4 *private* onsens (2 indoor and 2 outdoor) Dinner and breakfast are traditional Japanese but in consideration of foreigner - I.e natto was no served :) (In previous Ryokans we really didn’t like the Japanese traditional food)

Love the hotel a lot ! Clean and comfortable room, the onsen bath is spacious and perfect for me with many choices of shampoo and conditioner, the foods are not bad, friendly and kind staff, 5 mins from JR station, free noodles at night, for a hotel ryokan with 4 stars rating, this is better than expected !

Location is very close to Takayama train/bus station. Service is excellent. Ryokan atmosphere is very warm and cosy. I wish I can stay there longer. Room is very large by Japanese standard. Definitely come back!

It’s facilities, attention to detail, very welcoming staff. We stayed in a ryokan style accommodation which was lovely to experience. Fantastic Japanese style breakfast. Hotel shuttle to station was a bonus

Beautiful traditional ryokan style hotel. Excellent onsen facilities. Hida beef dinner was delicious.

Typical ryokan 3 onsens They offer a great japanese dinner Free shuttle service from the station

An authentic ryokan experience in the heart of Takayama.

Spacious room, excellent amenities (shisedo), clean Very close to bus station

I came here before and will come again

The female receptionist was excellent! Very friendly and informative. Hotel was near the station. Smoking area.
