I stayed here to go to the Toki outlet. The hotel was very clean and I had nothing to say. The hot water in the large bath was a nice temperature and warmed me to the core, so I slept soundly. There were so many restaurants around the hotel that I had a hard time deciding what to eat.
Just a five-minute walk from the JR station, which is super convenient, and right across the street from that famous BBQ restaurant. The room was a decent size, the hotel is quite new, and the facilities and layout are all good. It's very clean and tidy.
The hotel is in an excellent location with great amenities nearby. It's just a bridge away from Miyagawa Morning Market and very close to the old town of Takayama. During my two-day stay, all the other guests I encountered were European, and I was the only Asian person in the entire backpacker room, which was a very unique experience.
Very lovely and warm homestay. Will give a 5 star if the stairs can be substituted with lift. Am very thankful to the host helping to carry my large luggage up 3 flights of stairs.
Room is super cosy and bed is comfy.
An average quality onsen hotel in Gero. Not the best type but also better than many. It is a matter of one's choice in spending more money for better choices or not, as the price range in Gero can be 100% difference for the best and those with much lower price. All onsen are old in the hardware facilities, but traditional.
It was a new hotel, so it was very clean. The female staff were very friendly. There were two things I didn't like. The first was that the male staff were quite cold. The second was that the refrigerator had a peculiar smell, and the smell got onto the plastic bottles I put in it. If these two points could be improved, I would like to stay again. The view from the hotel was amazing.

Landing in Nagoya, I played for a day and finished dinner at 20 o'clock before taking the train to Shanghai. This is a self-service hotel near Meinong Taitian Station. I will send an email to inform the access code in advance. After entering, the ipad will scan the passport photo and show the room number and electronic lock password. It is very convenient. Suitable for i people. There is an elevator.
The room has a separate toilet and bathtub shower, bath towels and pajamas are also prepared, and there is a deodorizing spray on the hanger, which is very clean and convenient.
The next morning at five o'clock in the morning, I walked to the station to see the cloth bag Buddha wearing sunglasses. It was also very convenient to go to the hotel in Inushan City.
The accommodation looks like an old Japanese-style house. The room downstairs has a Japanese-style fireplace, but unfortunately I saw it when I left, so I didn't take a picture. The room was on the upper floor of the house. I slept comfortably and was quiet. I felt fully rested. The bathroom is downstairs, you have to walk up and down. The shower room is switched between men and women and closes at 22.00. It's a pity that I wanted to try the outdoor type, but at that time it was the men's bathroom. The water in the bath smelled quite a bit of chlorine. The accommodation might have encountered insects (I saw that it was written, but we went and didn't encounter any). The air conditioner can be turned on, but the temperature must be high because if it's low, it will become a heater. The air conditioner is a bit loud. There is both a heater and an air conditioner in the room. I'm not sure if it works, but I turned it on because I'm not used to the lack of ventilation. The mattress is okay, not too thin. The pillow has pellets. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep. After sleeping for a while, I slept well. There is a parking lot behind the accommodation. There is enough parking, but we parked in front of the accommodation. The way up to the accommodation is very steep. If you're not a strong driver, you might get hit. Be careful or have a skilled driver drive up. This accommodation should be suitable for people who drive around by themselves.
This hotel is very new, almost like it was built in a hurry. They used prefabricated construction materials for the structure of the accommodation. The reception area is like a modified shipping container with air conditioning for the staff (check-in is done using a code sent by the hotel). When I checked in, there happened to be staff present who spoke English well. The accommodation has two floors and no elevator. The room was large and clean, and conveniently located in the city center, making it easy to walk to various tourist attractions. There isn't a breakfast area or a common area yet. The hotel provides water from a dispenser and ice. The price wasn't cheap, but not overly expensive either, considering that Takayama seems to be mostly tourists, and the prices for goods and services are generally high. There's still a fair bit of construction going on in the vicinity (both for the hotel itself and other nearby developments).
Staying at Hostel Miyagawa by Murasaki Ryokan was truly one of the highlights of my trip — an unforgettable experience that beautifully blended comfort, tradition, and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm, peaceful atmosphere that reflected the essence of a traditional Japanese ryokan. The design of the space is charming and authentic, with thoughtful touches that bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Everything from the tatami rooms to the meticulously clean facilities made the stay incredibly comfortable. What truly made it special, though, was the feeling of calm and connection to local traditions that this place offers. It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s a cultural experience in itself. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in an authentic and beautiful ryokan stay.

CConstanceThis appears to be a family-run business with warm hearted hospitality. The hosts didn’t speak much English but we managed to use a digital translator to communicate.
Am grateful the hotel provides free shuttle pick up from Hida Osaka Train station. We had to get our previous hotel to ring Senyukan to inform them
about the expected timing of our train arrival. We appreciate the immense patience of the hotel shuttle driver. She put up with 2 changes of timing of our train arrival because of significant delays from the Highway bus from Nagoya to Takayama where we had to connect to Hida Osaka Train station.
We had booked to stay 3 nights and loved every moment of the stay. The kaiseki Hida Beef dinner had the perfect balance of sweet/sour/ salty taste. Each dinner also had a cooked fish either grilled, steamed or poached, in addition to sashimi ( raw seafood). The soup was exquisitely flavourful as was the freshly prepared salad and tempura ( deep fried vegetable fritters). All the food items were plated with pleasing artistry.
We had booked the hotel for its hotsprings which lived up to their therapeutic reputation. Although the sex-segregated pools were for hotel guests,
we found ourselves often the only ones who used them at the time. Highly recommend this hotel for its affordability and wonderful value-added hospitality.
The only downside of the hotel is that the wifi signal is not always stable in the guest rooms. But wifi is more accessible from the hotel lobby.
DDuboisTristanThis 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.
TTUTripperWonderful 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!

GGuest UserHonestly, I didn’t read before booking as there wasn’t much info. No room pics etc. Had 2 adults 2 young children. When we arrived, we were shocked as it was old and there wasn’t a private bathroom. However, the owner was really welcoming. She brought us to our room and it was this very traditional tatami room (which we never stayed in before). There was also this lovely private onsen, very suitable for us as we are very conservative. We only had an issue with the shared bath but that’s just us. It was really clean and everyone was friendly.
Had a really good sleep, plenty of stars in the sky at night, 10mins to Shinhotaka ropeway (be there EARLY pls)
Breakfast starts at 730. Be there at 730. Very traditional breakfast (to us at least), had to google how to eat but was a real good experience!
HhumblezIt'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.
TThanathip MoolvongA small ryokan right next to bus station and entrance of Shirakawago. It is the best location to stay there. However, it is not gussho house but it is a full ryokan with onsen and meals. I stayed in a room with bed, not tatami floor. All rooms are without toilet and bathroom. Drinking water fountain is provided. Two coffee vouchers per day were provided, but not served during or after meal. It is available at front desk. Meals were great.
This place is on high price as its location. We pay for convenience and location. There is a small supermarket nearby too but it is close early.
They also sell used (but washed and clean) yukata too.
Onsen is good, available both indoor and outdoor, as well as sauna.
GGuest UserThis is a youth hostel. I booked a four-person female room for two nights. Perhaps it wasn't peak season, as there were only two people occupying the room each night (including me). I checked in at the Relex Hotel (near JR Takayama Station, seemingly owned by the same company), and then followed the route (see Figure 1) to the youth hostel. Upon arrival, everything was self-service. There's a 7-11 nearby, making the location quite convenient. While the service wasn't very good, the guests were quite polite. The facilities are dated, and the soundproofing is poor; you can hear people walking in the hallway. Light sleepers should consider this option carefully.
