“Rooms were comfortable and clean, able to open window for fresh air rather than ac. Friendly staff with some English language available. Great lounge with beer and sake tasting.”

“The hotel's location is amazing! Right next to a konbini and within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The staff are next level awesome! I was traveling alone for 4 nights and they made sure i had everything I needed. They gave great restaurant and shop recommendations. They have unlimited sake and beer tasting at the lounge but I didn't partake. I assume it's great as well. I would definitely come back to Takayama if only to stay at Hotel Wood again. The room was clean and bed was comfortable! They also serve delicious breakfast in their beautiful lounge. Seriously one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Japanese hospitality at its finest!” Read more

“New hotel with fantastic design decor and furniture. Very professional and friendly staff, impeccable cleanliness and located in the heart of Takayama, a few steps from the sake breweries, restaurants, museums and cultural attractions. I recommend!”

“I really liked the aesthetic design of the building and rooms. The staff were very friendly and nice. Really top notch service. When I stayed they had a lounge with all-you-can drink (alcoholic beverages at night). I loved everything about this stay!”

“Hospitality Unique designs with Furniture Spa Unlimited Drinks in the lounge Well designed Rooms”

“The hotel was in a great location in old town. You can easily get to the picturesque streets within minutes. We had only booked one night but loved it so much we booked an additional night The staff was above any location we’ve stayed in Japan. They were so friendly & accommodating! They knew it was our anniversary and gifted us a small bottle of plum wine .. we immediately sought a store to get more! Our first breakfast was traditional Japanese which was not to our taste. They took note & served us a western breakfast on day 2. The free sake, beer, beverage bar was an added perk! ” Read more

“It’s a brilliant hotel at a perfect location in Takayama. The staffs are extremely pleasant and helping. I found the whole city and the people more welcoming. The staffs spoke good english, that saved others from listening and trying to understand my poor Japanese. Breakfast was changed to our liking and needs as they generally serve a really packed Japanese breakfast. Rooms were quite spacious and cleaned everyday. Had a small spa (kind of onsen type) that can Manage 2-3 people at a time. Small gestures (free drinks,popsicles etc.) all around to make the experience wonderful. Property designed to showcase the artistic view of craftsmen of the city. Very new property and you can expect a wonderful experience in all. We loved the stay and the people. ” Read more

“Design, new, cosy. Nice layout of the room. Sake/beer treat in the evening, pleasant public bath. Great service.”

“Room was like a modern Japanese style. It’s perfect for couples or friends. Staff was kind. They have some recommendations for eating place.”

“Sadly, we only had 1 night in this beautiful property. The location is perfect, facilities new and comfortable (free popsicles in the onsen!) but above all, the staff was incredible. The kindest most helpful we have even come across. Thank you Hotel Wood, we hope to be back!” Read more
