This is a quintessential traditional Japanese onsen ryokan. The hot springs leave your skin smooth and your muscles relaxed, the beef is delicious, the facilities are spotless, and the service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive (even though most of the younger staff are Burmese, they're exceptionally well-trained and just as good as Japanese staff). I especially recommend the private onsen – soaking in the hot spring while watching trains pass in the distance is like something out of an anime! Plus, the massage therapist grandpa here is skilled and reasonably priced; just make sure to book early. A post-bath pressure massage from him will melt away all the day's fatigue. This ryokan is within walking distance of all the attractions. If you arrive outside of shuttle hours, you can use a designated taxi from the station for free. I'd love to visit again during autumn leaf season.

This was my second stay at the Washington Hotel in Takayama, and I'll start with the pros. It's incredibly convenient, located directly across from Takayama Station and the Nohi Bus Center. From the platform, it's less than a 50-meter walk to the hotel lobby, which is super handy. For travelers catching early buses to Shirakawa-go, Kamikochi, or Furukawa (especially recommended during cherry blossom season), this location is a huge advantage. All the nearby attractions are within walking distance, and the drugstore, restaurants, and specialty shops next to the hotel are among the last to close in Takayama. This is a big deal because many restaurants and shops in Takayama are quite particular, operating only four or five hours (or even just two or three) a day and often closing three or four days a week. Some restaurants even stop taking customers by 6 or 7 PM. We joked that at night, Takayama is full of 'hungry ghosts' wandering around! The hotel's toothbrushes are still the 'old style' and are much better than those in many other hotels. The triple room layout was well-designed and felt spacious when organized properly. The shower had good pressure and was very comfortable. What needs improvement is the shower curtain – it's too thin, so the strong shower spray easily splashes outside the tub. The breakfast is only a Japanese set meal. I tried it one day, and the taste was just so-so. I skipped it the second day, and it was still the same on the third, so I decided not to eat it again. The breakfast options are too limited; it looks good but doesn't taste great. Other hotel services were still good. The triple room had two trash cans, which shows thoughtful attention to detail. The overall bathroom facilities felt a bit old, and the extractor fan wasn't very powerful... Oh, and the hotel offers a hot spring ♨️ with pretty long opening hours, but I didn't get to try it, so I can't comment. All in all, for this price, being able to stay in such an extremely convenient, central location near the station (and commercial center) is definitely worth it. On a side note, I'm not sure if it's due to an economic downturn or the off-season, but Shirakawa-go and Takayama were noticeably less fun, less interesting to explore, and had fewer good shopping and dining options than my previous two visits. 'Travel early!' is truly not an empty phrase.

The hotel is in a convenient location and offers great facilities, including coin laundry, a coffee machine, a public bath, and even massage chairs for relaxation. While most staff members were not particularly friendly, there was one young gentleman who stood out for his warm and helpful attitude.

One of the most unforgettable stays we’ve ever had. From the moment my family stepped through the door, we were wrapped in a warm, cosy ambience that instantly made us feel at ease. The room was impeccably clean and wonderfully comfortable, offering the perfect space to relax and unwind. Both dinner and breakfast were nothing short of exceptional—each meal thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delightful. The onsen, overlooking a serene river view, was the true highlight, creating a tranquil and almost dreamlike experience. Every moment spent there felt precious and completely worthwhile.

The hot spring was lovely and very relaxing, but the food was really mediocre. We had the 'one night, two meals' package, and while dinner had many courses, similar to a Kaiseki meal, the taste was just plain average. The combinations were strange. I'd recommend staying here, but definitely eat elsewhere. As for the claw machines inside, it's impossible to win a doll.

I forgot to take pictures of the hotel. I stayed on the first floor, which was super convenient as I had a lot of luggage. The hotel interior was incredibly clean and felt fresh — excellent! The room was stylish, and the bed was large – absolutely no complaints. There was a hot spring right next door, and I wish I had gone there. This time, I came for snowboarding and drove from Meiho Ski Resort. So, I looked for a hot spring on the way back and ended up at Kamihonoyu. That hot spring was also fantastic, highly recommended! It's a bit of a walk, but there was a yakiniku place nearby where we had dinner. Right next to it was a Chinese restaurant, and I was really torn, so next time I go, I want to try the Chinese place. It felt like a local spot and was bustling with customers, so I bet it's delicious! It's a bit far from the ski resort, but I got a great deal on the stay, so I'd love to come back if I get the chance!

Awesome hotel located just 5-10mins walk behind FamilyMart ie opposite the TAKAYAMA NOHI Bus Stn & JR. The check in was easy & front desk staff was very professional ensuring the process was easy & swift! The hotel has a great & large Hot Spring and outdoor Rotenburo Onsen they’re segregated Men-Women. The onsen lobby has large lounge space to relax, free ice cream and a large full length glass window overlooking you may sit on chairs & coin operated massage chairs enjoying the beautiful town and fabulous snow capped mountains at the edge of the town in the day & sunrise!! The morning Japanese breakfast options are plentiful, staffs are helpful and friendly too! To walk to the Old Houses District perhaps only take 15mins leisure walk but gets really quiet & dark by 6PM in March!

The hotel service was very thoughtful, and they even had staff who spoke Chinese. The room was very comfortable. We booked a private onsen, which was wonderful, and the room itself was spacious, bright, and fully equipped. There was plenty of hot water, and the bedding was comfortable and warm. The public bath was also clean, tidy, and well-appointed. The hotel's location is excellent, and they even provide a free shuttle bus, which was a very considerate touch. There's a Lawson convenience store nearby, making it super convenient for shopping. It was also very easy to visit the nearby Shirakawa-go village. Our vacation and leisure experience was fantastic. Both breakfast and dinner at the restaurant were abundant and delicious. Thank you for your excellent service!
