Ryokans in Hida

This is a place where you could feel you have stepped into history as soon as you enter the building. The staff of the hotel was welcoming and service was exceptional. The dinner was beautifully presented and every meal was delicious, leaving you wanting more. For the price of the night, which is average for a ryokan in Japan, we felt that it was of exceptional value.

beautiful location, friendly staff, comfy beds, nice amenities

I loved this place for it's 70's vibe, onsen, incredible breakfast, and amazingly friendly staff.

The place is absolutely beautiful. By far one of the nicest hotels I've been in. Every detail is well thought of, and the location near Takayama Old city is great.

Very good and very friendly staff

The hospitality was superb. Upon arrival, we were served matcha tea and traditional peanut snacks from Takayama, which were both delicious. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. In particular, Haruka provided us with a detailed explanation of the ryokan's facilities, as well as recommendations on attractions in and around Takayama. When we asked if we could buy fruits at Miyagawa morning market, she recommended that we buy apples there, and we successfully managed to purchase sweet apples the next day. Haruka also provided us with an extremely generous selection of Japanese snacks and helped us to select fragrant Japanese incense to light up in our room. The staff were able to communicate in basic English and the posters / printouts in the hotel (e.g. guidance on how to use the onsen & eat the Japanese breakfast) were in multiple languages. The ryokan went above and beyond to help us with our requests. They helped us to book a reservation at our requested restaurant (Kyoya) on the day of our stay, even though we reached out to them prior to our stay. I had initially wanted to ask them to help me forward my luggage to another hotel, but they kindly offered to help me store my luggage for 1.5 days after our checkout instead, which helped me save on luggage forwarding fees. The ryokan is housed in a building that is over 100 years old. Despite this, the rooms were impressively clean and well-maintained, with modern facilities such as air-conditioning and bidet toilets. The futons in the room were also very cozy and the blanket was thick and comfortable. The ryokan has an indoor onsen, which we found very relaxing after a long day outside. The ryokan can also help you light up an irori (traditional Japanese charcoal-fired hearth) although we did not try out this service.

The place felt like a true japanese Ryokan, very well attended by an old couple, extremely kind and taking care of every detail. Even if their english was limited we could communicate quite well. Stayed at a room with private bathroom looking over the river, which was quite spacious. The japanese dinner was incredible, several dishes all just home cooked, served at a private dinning room with view of the garden. For the breakfast we were allowed to choose the continental instead of the japanese that was better for us. Being a Ryokan, we slept on a fouton on 5he floor, however, to make us more comfortable, the old lady laid the fouton over a doble slim mattres that showed amazing diligence to make guests feel well.

Incredibile experience! The staff was extremely courteous and attentive. Breakfast was really good. A recommended stay definitely.

Amazing place! Food was great, staff were so nice 🙏🙏🙏 Best Value for money in Japan !

I loved everything, starting from the location, to the room specious, the comfort and of course the friendly and lovely staff. I never experienced a warm welcome in any hotels before, in Honjin Annex they welcomed the guests with Wadaiko. Interesting
