    We loved the location, it was our favorite out of a whole month traveling Japan. We loved walking along the stream and it was so quiet even though it was close to everything!

    The location is very convenient—just a short walk (less than 5 minutes) from the town center—and includes a free parking spot. The house is well-equipped and spacious enough for four people, which is rare for many apartments in Japan. The beds are...

    This place is seriously a hidden gem, located centrally in Takayama. The home is absolutely beautiful, and we really felt an inner peace sitting around the fireplace on the comfortable lounges at night time. Truly a great memorable experience. The...

    Great cozy family house. Walking distance to major Takayama attractions, despite it being a bit out of the way. The entrance and the parking space is off the street in a smaller alley, so need to check the instructions provided by the owner when...

    This house is situated in the really lovely part of Takayama, and still really close to the center. It’s a quaint house with everything you need. The futons were really comfortable compared with others we’ve stayed on during our trip in Japan.

    Such a beautiful classic family house. So much better feeling than commercial accomodation. Anyone visiting Takayama must try to book this lovely authentic home!

    It was lovely to experience a traditional machiya house, and all the facilities were there for complete self-catering if we would have liked. The living room/kitchen was very comfortable and cozy to hang out in when it had been heated up. Once we...

    We loved that it was very traditional and located in a very quiet part but nearby to the market and shopping street. It was about twenty minutes walk from Takayama Station and Boss Foods where we did a big stock up on the local Hida Beef. We were...

    A very nice and cozy house. Would come back again for sure. Interior is very good, sofa, dining table, everything is provided for in the kitchen. There are also fireplace. The neighborhood is quiet, not hard to find with one parking spot.

NEWLY OPEN! in June 2019 【Kouya Takayama】 is a Japanese house in a quiet residential area located 18 minutes from Takayama JR Station on foot. Most of the popular tourist spots are within walking distance. The perfect place as a base to thoroughly enjoy Hida Takayama with full of attractions. Not only that, very close to the places to take a pleasant walk such as Kitayama Park, tasteful Enako-gawa River, Temples and shrines in Higashiyama area.
