Loved it! The room was really beautiful! The personal there was amazing! Really really nice! And the breakfast was magnificent! Great great deal! :)

Remy Japan

Wish we had stayed two nights. It was so lovely. The host provided easy detailed instruction for getting to the property by bus and kindly met us at the bus stop and drove us to the property (it would have only been a 3 minute walk - but still the gesture was very kind). He also drove us to the rope way in the morning. The baths both indoor and out door were so nice - and private! The meals were also excellent - I recommend getting the dinner and breakfast. There is a convenience store very near (we got some beers there), but nothing else around. Still regret not staying two nights. Hope to visit again.

This was the highlight of our Japan trip! You get wonderful views fron your window, affordable and oishi Japanese traditional meals, and best of all Mr. Takizawa's very personalized and warm accomodation! We were surprised that he was already waiting for us at the bus stop. I booked his property hours before getting there, but he was kind enough to fetch us from the bus stop even if I have not replied to his email. He also brought us to our next destination (Shinhotaka Ropeway) using his car! By far, this is the best accomodation I've had during our Japan trip. Arigato, Mr. Takizawa!

This ryokan was a highlight of our trip to Japan. The rooms are large, comfortable, and cozy. There are 4 onsen baths (2 inside and 2 outside) and you can use any of the baths with others in your party. Unlike some onsens they are not segregated by gender, they are all private. The onsens are warm but not too hot (42-44C), especially the outside ones, which are beautiful. We had both dinner and breakfast - the meals were amazing and I highly recommend doing both. The staff were lovely and helpful, they helped us figure out the buses back to Takayama and (when they saw us looking sleepy waiting for our bus) kindly brought us coffee. I cannot recommend this ryokan highly enough.

Anna Canada

The place is amazing! The scenery, the beautiful outdoors private onsens and the delicious meals (both breakfast & dinner). The staff were all very helpful and nice, and the price was more than fair...

Liraz Israel

The owner and staff of the Minshuku Takizawa were immensely kind and hospitable - at check out the owner also walked and guided me to my bus stop. They made it a highlight of my trip - on top of that the Hida Beef dinner was scrumptious and the outdoor private onsen was perfect after a long day of walking. Definitely will be cherishing and remembering my stay here for a while.

William Australia

This is really the best of my trip in Japan. The traditional Japanese style, the hospitality and the food was excellent.

Norbert Netherlands

Honestly just worth it for the incredible multi course Japanese meal, some of the best food I had my whole trip. Then there were the four private onsens, and the beautiful area and the big rooms.

Eric Canada

The palace itself and the location (far from everything) Dinner and breakfast are a fun experience. Onsen were nice

Pm Portugal

Great setting away in the mountains, very typical ryokan with 4 private hot spring spas. The dinner was delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff were great

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

  • What's a ryokan?
    A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
  • What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
    Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
  • What's a kaiseki meal?
    Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
  • What's a yukata?
    A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
  • How should I wear a yukata?
    First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
  • What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
    Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
  • What's standard bathing etiquette?
    At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
  • Why are tattoos not allowed?
    While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
