Oyado Koto No Yume 4 stars

Takayama City, Takayama

Just a 2-minute walk from Takayama Station, Oyado Koto No Yume offers Japanese-style rooms with a colourful touch. The hotel features hot-spring baths, a restaurant serving breakfast and free WiFi throughout the property. This ryokan is introduced in Michelin Green Guide Japan. Just everything about our stay at Oyado Koto No Yume was above and beyond our expectations. The friendly, welcoming and respectful staff; the atmospheric furnishings and decorations; the lovely slippers and kimonos; the bathing suites and the gorgeous rooms. The Japanese breakfast was standout.

Iroriyado Hidaya 4 stars

Hida Takayama Onsen, Takayama

Situated 1.6 km from Takayama Station, Iroriyado Hidaya is a recently renovated 4-star accommodation in Takayama, boasting a garden, a shared lounge and private parking. It is located 2 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village and features luggage storage space. The ryokan has parking on-site, a hot spring bath and full-day security. I think the best part of my stay was the staff, incredibly welcoming and friendly, definitely made my stay better. The onsen was clean and really relaxing. I highly recommend the traditional breakfast, the beef cooked in miso paste over fire was utterly delicious.

Nagataki 3 stars

Nakatsugawa

This ryokan will provide guests with 1 bedroom, a flat-screen TV and air conditioning. Featuring free private parking, this 3-star ryokan also features free WiFi. The accommodation offers a fireplace.

Enakyo Wonderland is 12 km from the ryokan, while Ōi is 13 km from the property. The nearest airport is Nagoya Airport, 70 km from Nagataki. A wonderful experience: the view from the camera and the onsen seems to a paint; the room service was accurate, detailed and awesome.The nicest staff I've ever seen (we annoyed the staff with a lot of requests and they satisfied all of them). I think is one of the best place not only for starting or ending the Nakasendo way but also just for resting your body and mind.

Shiroyamakan 4 stars

Shirakawa

47 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village, Shiroyamakan is a recently renovated property set in Shirakawa and offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The 4-star ryokan has river views and is 48 km from Takayama Station. The ryokan features family rooms. Everything, really!! Perfect location opposite bus station and short walk to thatched houses area. Lovely view at back overlooking river. Family who run it are incredibly gracious and friendly. The couple wrote to invite us to check in early at 12.30 and offered us a free tour with their father! The food was unbelievably top notch. Wine/alcohol matching if you wanted. Everything had been foraged in the mountains or hunted by a family member, or prepared from first principles eg miso. All exquisitely presented and served in a beautiful room. We had a bedroom with bathroom facilities but there was an onsen-type bathroom for those who didn’t. Just perfect!!👌 watch your head though as building is old and door frames and beams very low!

Mozumo (Adult Only) 4 stars

Okuhida Onsen, Takayama

Rooms with contemporary Japanese design are fitted with tatami (woven-straw) flooring and come with a private open-air bath. Also comes with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a seating area with low table. Absolutely LOVED our time at Mozumo. The facilities are beautiful and the staff was incredible. The level of hospitality we received was on another level. The private onsen was also a highlight of our stay. We enjoyed our dinner and breakfast experience so much, the lady who served us was knowledgeable about every dish and answered all our questions, she was so warm and lovely (I wish we had caught her name!) Would recommend 100% for anyone looking for a unique ryokan experience in a beautiful environment.

Yatsusankan Over 6 years old 5 stars

Hida

Offering traditional Japanese-style accommodation with spacious public baths, Yatsusankan Over 6 years old is a 6-minute walk from JR Hidafurukawa Train Station. WiFi is accessible at public areas for free, while the private-use hot spring bath is available at a surcharge.

Ryokan Yatsusankan Over 6 years old boasts a variety of indoor/outdoor public hot spring baths. Guests can also get a relaxing massage, read in the library or purchase souvenirs at the gift shop. Customer Service The customer service from the staff is exceptional. I believe the hotel/staff uses Booking.com as the main communication, after I completed the booking, they sent me a message a few days before the check-in to let me know some basic info. I overlooked it. Otherwise, when you arrived the hotel, there was a staff that showed you around the hotel, introducing you the facilities, the procedures and regulations, what time is dinner/breakfast, what to eat, bathhouse regulations, etc... They will help you with your luggage and as I drove to the hotel, you just need to drive to the front door and they'll help you park the car. Room The room is spacious and clean with separate toilet and shower/bath. If you choose the tatami bed rooms, not to worry about it. Whilst you have your dinner, they will set it up for you so when you return to your room, its well set up. Bathhouse / Onsen They are clean and very comfortable. Obviously there are separate male and female ones with indoor and outdoor available. Two very different settings. We only managed to explore the outdoor ones. For the outdoor ones, they usually change it overnight to give both male and females a different environment and views. I would suggest you to visit it at check-in and go for a quick visit in the morning before you check out. As I only stayed for 1 night, I didn't manage to have time to visit the indoor one. Food I chose the dinner and breakfast option, it was very delicious and well enough to eat. Most of the dishes were small portions but after a few dishes it should be enough. Inside the room there is a biscuit and tea available. Environment There are plenty of resting and lounge areas for you to sit down to read, watch your on tablet or chat with friends/family/partner or simply just zone. There is one big lounge or resting area that has 2 massage chairs, 2 sofas with some basic small massage equipments to massage yourself.
