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 Bathroom might seem outdated.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.

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.

If you want a great quality ryokan experience, this is it. We have tried ryokan for less in Kyoto but it was a bit noisy. This hotel is more modern but you still get a nice ryokan experience of sleeping on the floor and nice Japanese interiors. The futons were very comfy and views are great! The private bath was VERY nice and for free! Breakfast was great!

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)

Lovely traditional Japanese Ryokan. Fantastic Japanese dinner & breakfast options available. Owners go above & beyond for good service, even driving us to the station as it was raining when we left. Beautiful temple across the road was an added bonus. Location much quieter than Takayama and only a 7 minute train ride away.

The staff very helpful, close to station in walking distance, also close to the old city of Takayama. I travelled with my wife and sons, my first time in Takayama. In winter with snow everywhere, Takayama is beautiful. This accomodation is at the centre of it, and of course I recommend to stay in this hotel.

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 !

Ther fantastic service by the staff. The onsens. The evening meals. One night we upgraded our meal as offered by the hotel - was out of this world highly recommended. The breakfast was very good as well. Location is perfect for seeing Takayama. The room was typical ryokan.

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!

Food was outstanding. Staff was sincerely helpful and friendly. Although about 25 min from Takayama, the hotel offer a few options for pick-up and drop-off from Takayama

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

Hotel location was close to morning market and takayama old town.

An authentic ryokan experience in the heart of Takayama.

Location is very good, near importance and interesting places such as Morning Market, Nakabashi Bridge, Train Station, etc.. Room is large, has a corner to sit and watch out. Onsen both indoor and outdoor. Has parking lot with no extra charge. Marvelous.

Nice room with an extraordinary view, on the top flor. Hot bats - onzen - superb!
