Super polished traditional Japanese hotel. Location is very convenient — short walk to the old town and to the main strip of restaurants. The service was good. If you are an English speaker the staff speaks good English. The restaurant recommendations made by the staff were phenomenal — best meal we had in Takayama. The room was nice. The hotel is gorgeous. There was a lot of attention to detail including free umbrellas given by the hotel since it was raining.
