Ryokan Tsuyukusa
506-1433 Gifu, Takayama, Okuhida Onsengo Hirayu 621-1, Japan – Great location - show map
Entire hotel is well maintained and clean. Outdoor Onsen with mountain View and massage chair with multiple massage options are awesome experience. For food, 4 restaurants are in 4-5 mins walk.

Great location very close to restaurants and bus station, must try the massage chair and the private open air onsen, the owners are very sweet! The rooms are warm and clean.

The old lady host was super nice and very helpful. The place was so clean! May be it was renovated recently as well! Some parts of walls / rest rooms looked so new. And the best part: the outdoor onsen on 2nd floor! They also have 2 indoor onsens. All 3 are private onsens! Big parking place for at least 8 cars. A great massage chair (free). A superstore just 2 mins away. And Hirayu bus terminal 3 mins away. All in all, a great place!

Everything is great. Although the host can't speak English but there are useful English explanations provide. I stayed in the dormitory there are 2 floors; the first floor is toilet, coin washing machine, kitchen, refrigerator, free coffee machine, the picture gallery and table tennis room. The second floor is our room with smart lock. The 3 shared bathroom are private onsen in the opposite main house with excellent massage chair with free of charge. The kindness host provided our pictures and souvenir. Actually they provided free wifi but I'm not sure why it's not work when I stayed.

Good location, best price for the area. They switched me from a dorm to my own private room at no extra cost with was amazing. The walls were heated. Awesome massage chair.

This ryokan is perfect to stay and visit the area. It is well located, just 2minutes from the bus station to Kamikochi by walk. There is some restaurants and izakaya in the closest streets. The rooms are clean, the house is very nice. There is an outdoor onsen wich is very nice as well (very hot)! The massage chair is really enjoyable after a hike. I recommend Tsuyukusa a lot.

Hirayu itself is nice and quiet but beautifully picturesque and the proximity to Kamikochi just makes it the perfect location for visiting everything in the area. Tsuyukusa is next to some really nice restaurants and cafe and super close to the Hirayu bus station. Definitely coming back.

Onsen is clean and quiet. Rooms are nice, clean and quiet too. The location is ok: pub, combini and restaurants are nearby. Free parking!

This is your typically spartan but clean Japanese style accommodation - please note there are shared bathrooms. Especially astounding is the outdoor onsen which never seemed to be in use! Checkin was kind of impersonal in that we found the key on the counter and kind of checked ourselves in (I don’t think the owners speak any English). There are some nice shared facilities aside from the baths - free massage chair (tends to be hogged by individuals) - coffee and tea. location is lovely - overall a nice stay

The place is very close to bus terminal. Very nice private onset, heated floor and awesome massage chair. The lady is very nice and friendly. She got my shoes ready when I leace and gave me a lovely handmade departure gift. Thanks for the wonderful stay .

-
- 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.
