2-Star Hotels in Takayama City

Lovely Ryokan, close to the busy stop. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Spacious room and comfortable futon. The onsen baths are lovely, on the riverside for a great view of the valley, you can ”reserve” four of them for private use for a bit of time, just locking the door. Dinner was superb

Wonderful guest house, full of interesting artefacts and traditional Japanese trinkets. Traditional stay with modern amenities. Our family of 4 loved our stay here during April 2024. The owners are very welcoming into their home and they go to a lot of effort to make our stay happy and comfortable. A traditional Japanese Breakfast meal is provided. The food is delicious and plentiful. Sleeping is Japanese style on tatami mats and comfortable futon mattresses. The rooms and beds are warm and cosy, even when it is cold outside. The bathrooms are clean and modern, and the hot bath was a very welcome relief from the days of walking. The location is very convenient with a 1 minute walk to the Miyagawa morning markets and other interesting locations. The house is an easy 15 minute walk to Takayama station. Highly recommend. We loved our stay here!

K's House Takayama Oasis is the best place to be if you're traveling around the area. I love that the kitchen is open 24 hours and all the utensils are free to use. The staff are friendly too, and the open kitchen and common room provided room for us to make new friends. They have branches all over Japan, too! I would definitely stay here again!

Facilities: The room has a toilet but no shower, but this isn't a big problem since you'll almost certainly be using the onsen (hot spring). They provide two tickets to Hirayumori Onsen, which is very nice; soaking in the outdoor onsen under the autumn leaves is amazing! The restaurant inside the onsen serves surprisingly good Hida beef, and the milk from the vending machine is also delicious! The number of people is moderate, mostly Japanese. The only downside is that it's best to bring your own conditioner and skincare products, as they don't provide them at the onsen or they're not very good. There's a simple self-service coffee machine on the second floor, but breakfast isn't provided at all. There are very few shops nearby; you'll basically have to buy rice balls at the souvenir shop next to the bus stop. There seems to be a cafe nearby, but I didn't have time to go in the morning because of the bus… Environment: The view from the window is beautiful, very autumnal 🍁 Unfortunately, it gets dark very early; it's completely dark by 5 pm. Location: Very close to the Nohi bus stop. It's very convenient to leave your bags at the hotel when you go to Kamikochi the next day and pick them up later.

located in okuhida onsen area, so we can go enjoy various kind of scenery onsen places during that day as well. kamikochi is less than an hour through hirayu bus station. after a walking day at kamikochi soaking in the hotel public bath was so satisfying.enjoying a bottle of sake atthe hotel garden in front of its bath house is one of the highlights of our stay. the service is excellent, everybody is so attentive.  the breakfast is very good and the excellent dinner kept coming, almost couldn’t finish, the local beef main course is so delicious. the quality goes far beyond the price, highly recommended.

This room offers stunning mountain and snowy views, with two outdoor and two indoor private hot springs. It was incredibly relaxing to soak in the onsen while it was snowing. The location is excellent, right opposite Hirayu-kan and just a three-minute walk from the Hirayu Onsen bus stop. It comes with a private bathroom, and for what you get, the value for money is outstanding, even without breakfast and dinner. One of the staff members, a Japanese gentleman (who seemed to be the owner), spoke a little Chinese, and another gentleman was from China. Both were very welcoming and even gave us discount coupons for the ski resort gondola.

I stayed for 5 nights, and first of all, the price is very reasonable for a backpacker hostel. Check-in is done online: you choose your language, scan your passport, and have a f2f call with the staff via an iPad. FYI, there is a mandatory accommodation tax in Japan of 100 yen per night. You can also request a paid ”Irori” service at a nearby sister branch, where you can grill your own ingredients over a traditional Japanese sunken hearth. Just a reminder: you can get fresh ingredients from the nearby market ”Family Store Satoh” or further away at ”Surugaya Asumo.” The common area isn't huge, and the kitchen is basic but functional with tableware, an electric kettle, ovens, a microwave, and a mini fridge. The tap water is drinkable; the mixer tap can be toggled to adjust the temperature, so you won't get a chill from the ice cold water in winter! 😂 In the back, there are a toilet, three shower stalls, and communal sinks, along with a washing machine and dryer that are free to use (you just need to buy detergent from the capsule machine or bring your own) Since it's a hostel, the dorms have top and bottom bunks. The bunks are quite spacious and come with two power outlets (remember your travel adapter!), an overhead locker (bring your own padlock), a towel, and two hooks. You have to make your own bed; it's a futon-style setup where you lay the linens on the mattress. A pillow and duvet are provided. During winter, they run the AC (split system) on heat mode to keep it cozy. In the room, there’s a luggage storage area and hanging rods for clothes. On the second floor where I stayed, there are two toilets in the room: one with a urinal and another unisex one with a smart bidet/washlet. To be honest, while it's very close to the Miyagawa Morning Market, it feels a bit far from the Nohi Bus Center and JR Station. If you don't like walking or tire easily, this might be a bit of a challenge. Overall, it's a great, affordable choice for backpackers😗

It's walkable from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal. I don't think it's far. Along the way, there are also a couple of public foot baths you can stop by. On Trip.com, only rooms with shared bathrooms seem to be available, but they also have rooms with private bathrooms. I think you'll need to book through their official website if you want that option. The meal included with our room is fairly basic such as tonkatsu or beef curry. However, if you book a room with a private bathroom, you can choose meals like grilled beef or beef sukiyaki instead. The onsen water contains a lot of mineral sediment (I guess that maybe a good thing?) The bathroom facilities, though, are quite old.

There were no rooms available around the Takayama Festival, so I chose this place which is more than 10km away from Takayama. Due to traffic control, I arrived at the hotel at 9 o'clock and thought I couldn't have dinner, but the store was very thoughtful and helped me reserve dinner. When I entered the restaurant, I found that I was not the last to check in, and there was a table next door that had not been eaten. There are no bathroom facilities in the house, so I have to run out to wash, which is a bit troublesome. Everything else is good.

This place was absolute amazing! By far our favorite place from our whole trip. The location was absolutely perfect for the Takyama festival. We were literally right there with shops and street vendors 50 yards away and the parades would have been right there as well if they weren't canceled due to rain. The rooms were humble and traditional and really added to the experience. The tea in the room was exceptionally good and the traditional Japanese breakfast they served was also delicious and fun to eat. We didn't even know they had a legitimate hot spring on site, but they did! They are Japanese style baths so be ready for that, but the water was therapeutic and so relaxing. I cant recommend this place enough and I would absolute make it a point to visit Takyama and stay here again for a few days on our next trip to Japan. They were such great kind hosts. And I cant believe the price, what an great value. Do yourself a favor and stay here. I'm not sure why the other bad reviews are here I read some of them and they sound like entitled stupid American tourists so ignore them and stay here.
