Very big room - could fit all of us, don't have any idea why we booked 2 rooms, we could easily book just one, and sleep two on the beds and two on the tatami.

Location is very good, everything is clean, washing machine and hang drying, kitchen facilities are very new, overall the vibe is very good. I enjoy the bikes they provide for borrowing a lot, car park is just a min walk away and is very convenient. Staffs are very friendly and caring. Breakfast includes produce from the owner’s garden, very fresh and satisfying.

Everything was great! Octavio, "the ninja" owner, is very very nice and always ready to help. The Japanese style room was large and very comfortable. The shared bathroom was impeccably clean, large and modern and the time reservation system for the shower is very good, because you can be sure you have the bathroom all for yourself at the scheduled time. The welcome sake Octavio offered us when we arrived was a very nice touch, so were the toasts and coffee in the morning (try the orange jelly, it is perfect!). The location is good for sightseeing, you can walk everywhere. Takayama is a lovely city, definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

A Truly Exceptional Stay – 10/10 Experience! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something special. Our host was absolutely amazing — warm, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. We traveled with our curious, adventurous 23 month old daughter. The home itself is stunning. Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could have needed (and more!). Such as espresso maker, filtered water, comfy clean towels. Every corner of the house reflects the host’s attention to detail and pride of ownership. Live Takayama is the definition of japanese hospitality. We were welcomed with a few personal touches that made us feel right at home — a handwritten chalkboard sign, super friendly dog - Coco, and helpful tips for things to do in the area. It’s rare to come across a space that feels both luxurious and homey, but this place struck the perfect balance. Location was perfect as well — quiet, safe, and just minutes from everything we wanted to see and do. We left feeling relaxed, recharged, and already planning our return. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Authentic and charming Japanese home. Lovely countryside getaway. Really lovely host. My family really enjoyed the charm of this beautiful home. Particularly as we were lucky enough to have it all to ourselves on this occasion. Very lucky indeed. Beautiful lounge/kitchen. Lovely views. Very relaxing stay.

By far the best decision we made was to stay there during the winter. The perfect place to recharge after a few days in Tokyo. The tub and onsen were simply amazing. The room was spacious and had all the amenities anyone could need. Very close distance to the main station as well. Will book again for sure.

    Lovely host. Was very welcoming and the rooms were very clean and felt traditional. They let us leave our bags there after we had checked out so we could explore Takayama more which was nice. Well located within a short walk from stores, the bus station and the nice areas with all the little shops.
