Hotels near Takayama Old Town, Takayama

This hotel has such a guest house feel but is beautifully appointed with gorgeous interiors. Very boutique and run very efficiently. The staff is just amazing, especially Arjun who is always so helpful and hard working. The pajamas and amenities are very high quality and the breakfast is delicious and excellent value. Location is right near the old town, less than a five minute walk to all the attractions and 10 minute easy walk to the station. Would absolutely return to this gorgeous town and wonderful hotel.

They seem to be going the extra mile to be liked. Clean, good location, free stuff (laundry, drinks), very good breakfast (yakatori, ice cream), large room, string shower, even Netflix for teens (don't worry, they still had to do a full hike to the top of the vulkano). Recommended.

Clean, location attention to details

Amazing little villa by the river, in the center of Takayama

We (my wife and I) stayed in the Zenko-Ji Temple hotel for one night and had a fantastic experience. We were greeted warmly right from the beginning by the friendly staff and could check in despite arriving a bit before the check-in time. After the quick check-in we had a small tour of the place and got an introduction to the temple and the various possible activities we can partake in. We had a lovely room (Sakura room), nothing fancy but very fitting to the place itself- traditional, simplistic yet comfortable. The next day we joined the morning prayer at 7:00 am which is highly recommended. Afterwards we also had a meditation session with the head monk who runs the temple/hotel. It was a great experience with some useful insights about meditation. Overall I would highly recommend staying here. It's not a place for a fancy stay but a place that can offer an insight to Buddhism in Japan, where you can have lovely conversations with the friendly staff and enjoy a peaceful environment.

Very nice location and lovely room interior especially the bathroom. Breakfast was really well done too!
