Excellent comfortable traditional Japanese inn
Excellent location walkable to all main areas and restaurants. 10 min walk to JR and bus station but they offer complimentary private shuttle to and from station. Staff is very attentive to every detail. From pick up at the station to checkin, dinner and breakfast and throughout the stay. Service is very personalized and knows the needs of each guest. They have a very nice women’s onsen however need to go outside across the street. Fully equipped amenities in the public baths. Food was excellent with the best ingredients all from local sources. We stayed 3 nights but only had one dinner and wished we had for an extra meal. Breakfast was large in portions with lots of detail and thoughtfulness. Delicious and nutritious!! Traditional Japanese rooms were spacious and had comfortable tatamis. Definitely recommended for a nice relaxing time in Takayama!!

The best place to stay in Takayama
Location is amazing. All the stores were walking distance, practically at your doorstep. Service was impeccable. The ryokan provides transportation to and frm train station. There are 3 onsen affiliated w this ryokan. One on property and 2 across the street. They provide yukata in your room. Would recommend one Japanese style dinner and breakfast on site. It’s a wonderful experience. I would love to come back for the service and the location convenience. Beautiful place to stay.

The location is the ryokan is a 10 minute walk from the Takayama station and right in the heart of the old town.

Wow - where do I start? This was an amazing place. Our first experience of a Ryokan but we were truly impressed from the reception on arrival with drum, to the superb rooms, the extremely attentive, but not intrusive, staff.

Our stay at the high-end Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan was an amazing experience. When we arrived that evening, they led us right in for a fancy kaiseki dinner in a private room. We didn't love all of the food options, but they were great to try, and we loved the experience. Next night, we are at their yummy sushi restaurant. The beds were traditional but extra fluffy. The baths were one of my favorite places of my trip. So beautiful and lots of them. The soaps etc they offer are really worth trying--they smell beautiful and left my skin so soft.

The whole stay was flawless and staff are really very consciously looking after your needs. The in room bath pool overlooking a small garden was cool. The dining experience was most excellent. Lastly we left a jacket in the wardrobe and realized that at the train station with minutes to board!; as my daughter was on the phone to hotel; the driver had retrieved the jacket and showed up at the station to return the jacket. This will never happen anywhere else - really appreciated the service levels.
