We felt cheated. This was our second visit to Wanosato and we stayed at the same suite (Tenryu), but the experience was completely different. The room smelled strongly musty (our clothes in the suitcase still smelled the same mustiness for days after leaving Wanosato). There were cobwebs and balls of dust in the room. As a result, our dust allergy was so severe that my wife had to keep a face mask on in order to sleep. It was clear that Wanosato was short of staff. Rarely anyone at the counter; even the dinners were toned down/reduced from our last stay 4 years ago. It was not the staff's issue. They worked hard and had a good attitude. It was the issue with the management/owner. Faced with staffing shortage, the management apparently chose to maximize profit by making available more rooms than the staff could handle, and in the process the service standard deteriorated significantly. To be charged 250,000 yen per night for the suite, we expected better (at least a clean suite). The steadfast commitment to quality by luxury ryokans and hotels in Japan is the reason we keep coming back. Such trust is lost with Wanosato. We will not revisit in the future.
This is a beautiful self contained apartment on 2 levels. Downstairs is a bathroom/shower and living area. Upstairs a bedroom with a small terrace. Access is by door code supplied by the owner or in our case Booking.com. Unfortunately guests in the other apartment had not been given the door code by their booking agent and did not speak English or Japanese. Fortunately we were able to phone the owner for them. Definitely a communication problem by their booking agent or a language issue by the owner. The apartment is very ''Japanese'' in the sense that the bed is only about 1 foot off the ground. The lounge was also low and uncomfortable and the dining table was so low that it could not be eaten off nor used for a computer. This was extremely annoying. There was also not a single chair in the apartment. Overall even though immaculate the apartment was poorly designed. The kitchen was huge but nowhere to sit and eat!! After we had booked we sought to contact the owners to extend our booking but they had no English language skills at all and we had a frustrating series of emails back which did not help. As we could not stay an extra night (it was festival weekend) we then needed to move to another hotel for a single night whereas we would have preferred to stay at ItoMori.
Feida Pavilion Flower Fan is a Japanese-style ryokan. The hotel shuttle bus departs from JR Takayama Station West Exit Hotel Bus Station every day from 1400 to 1730. The bus will depart every half an hour. The driver will confirm the name of the reservation customer before boarding. When arriving at the hotel, the waiter will be very warm and courteous. The same waiter received the welcome drink and snacks, then introduced the hotel facilities, and then confirmed the meal time.
The food is delicious and delicate, if you are not full, you can eat ramen for a late night.
The hot spring water is very slippery and the environment is good. Basically, there are not many hotel guests during the off-season. There are only three or four kittens dipping in the public hot spring. It feels quiet and comfortable. The male and female soups are interchangeable in the morning. If you want to soak all the hot springs, you can try it in the morning. The foot soup is also good.

An excellent ryokan. Extremely high level of customer service and extras, such as a choice of yukata to wear during your stay and choice of aroma oil to perfume your room at night. The room we had was superb, pristine with high value toiletries. Everything about this hotel is delightful and although it is pricey, it feels worth it. At all times you feel valued as a guest. The onsen are nice - especially the outside one - and if you’re lucky enough to stay for more than one day it’ll be empty at about 3pm (check-in time) and you’ll get it to yourself like I did 😀. A tiny little ****** was the fact that we didn’t book breakfast at the time of booking and sent an email later requesting breakfast on our two night stay. The hotel wrote back saying we could have breakfast both days, but there was a mix up and they could only fit us in for one day. This was disappointing especially once we saw the breakfast. It is superb and possibly the best Japanese breakfast I’ve had. Make sure you book it if not included. It is an extra 2000 yen, but worth it.
It's a very beautiful, very comfortable and very new hotel. It's just that the location is too remote and there shouldn't be any restaurants around. However, there are cup noodles and other items for sale downstairs, and the prices are very reasonable. The view from the hotel room window is farmland, which is very beautiful.
On the weekend of the autumn leaf peak, we used it for 5 parents and children. I chose it because the price was reasonable, but it was a great answer. The children were very excited about the bell system of the rental open-air bath ”constellation hot water” like the Pythagora switch, and the amount of food for children was large and equivalent to adults, and the satisfaction was high As others commented, the inn itself was not denied with the atmosphere of the year, but it was generally a good inn, including the hospitality of the inn.
This is a homestay without a front desk. Normally, there will be an email to inform me of the room number and check-in password before check-in, but Ctrip did not notify me of these, and did not receive an email. After the check-in time, I had to go directly to the homestay. Fortunately, I met someone else who was staying and told me the landlord’s contact information, and also contacted the landlord and successfully checked in.
The location of the homestay is very good, it is convenient to go anywhere, it is easy to find, clean, we booked a quadruple room with four single beds, the comparison is also very high, and you can cook in the homestay, we bought the local famous moth cow to eat satisfied, it is worth staying again!
As the inn's brochure says, ”It feels like it happened a long time ago.” This is an inn where time passes by. The name “Hina no Yu” is “Hina No Hina”. The room was large, about 12 tatami mats, and had a bed, table and chair set. There was also a wide veranda and a porch surrounding the room. The restroom also has a standing restroom for men, and I mentioned that it's rare for an inn to have a men's restroom. When I asked later, I was told that this room was only for boys. Even though I turned off the air conditioner, there was a nice breeze coming in from outside, and I could hear the chirping crows, and we both took a nap after taking a bath. The hot spring had a slight smell of sulfur. The indoor bath was hot and the outdoor bath was lukewarm, which was very comfortable during this hot season. It is a good hot spring with flowing water directly from the source. There are no lotions in the bathroom, so it is better to bring the amenity set provided in your room. There is a rest area near the bath. As I was drinking cold tea, a cool breeze came in from outside through the screen door, and I felt nostalgic for summers before, thinking, ``It's so cool in the evening.'' It's too hot everywhere now. Takahara-juku in the summer is nice and cool. In the rest area, videos of Hotaka and Mt. Yarigatake were shown on the TV, and I watched them while relaxing and drinking something cold. Dinner was served in a private room in a different room. The hinamori was a colorful appetizer with lots of different kinds of seasonal summer vegetables. The sashimi was rock fish and local salmon, the grilled fish was grilled sweetfish, and the ceramic grilled bite-sized steak was Hida beef. The rice was unique and could be eaten as is. A glass of local sake was 660 yen and went well with the food. Breakfast was also served in a private room. The overnight-dried puffer fish and tofu were delicious, and I ended up having a second helping of rice with grilled magnolia miso. After the meal, we had coffee in the lounge in the front area. The coffee cup was in a cup warmer, which was a nice touch since I like hot coffee. Especially in the winter, when you're servicing coffee, the cup gets cold and the coffee ends up lukewarm. In the lounge, there was relaxing classical music playing. It's a shame because it's only cash-only when paying, or because I'm a cashless person. I felt that the quiet landlady and the host had a firm concept for the inn. I entered the hot springs at 2pm and left at 11am, and it was a really relaxing stay.
*All Rooms Are Non-smoking. I Think There Are A Lot Of People Who Say That Overseas Travel Is Still A Bit... How About Taking This Opportunity To Enjoy The Nature And Traditional Houses Of Takayama In Gifu Prefecture It Is A House With A Warm Atmosphere That Was Renovated From A Traditional Takayama-style Building And Was Designed By A Shrine Carpenter Who Does Not Use Any Nails. Because The Hostel Is Limited To One Group Per Day, You Can Spend A Relaxing Time. It Is Convenient For Sightseeing Because The Location Is Very Good. We Will Lend Up To 5 Bicycles For Free, So Please Use Them When Sightseeing. This Is The Best Place To Stay To Experience Staying Like You Live In Takayama. We Strive To Provide A Comfortable Space For Everyone To Use. I Have Some Personal Belongings Left, So Please Don't Mind If You Don't Mind. Because It Is A Traditional Japanese House, You Can Feel Japanese Life And Culture. In Hida Takayama, There Are Various Historical Buildings Such As The O
Although we were a group of nine people, the place was so spacious that it didn't feel cramped at all. We were also very satisfied with the location, cleanliness, and facilities, as well as the access to the station and convenience stores. Highly recommended!

GGuest UserWe were lucky to stay at Mercure Takayami on their opening night. Everything about the hotel was above our expectations. Rooms were a very comfortable with attention to detail. Having USB and USB C charging ports for our electronics next to the bed was very convenient and meant we didn't need to search for our Japan power adaptors. This hotel has been well designed with a focus on local traditional carpentry and joinery skills. When you book this hotel make sure you book a room that includes access to the private Onsen. We had an open-air experience while we watched the snow from our private onsen. Breakfast had an extensive range of Tradition Hida dishes and Western choices, with different options available each day. This was a great way to try Hida Beef Curry and Hida chicken cooked on a traditional grill. Staff were very helpful going above and beyond with their dedicated and personal service, even searching the internet for me to find a store that sold Yama Cola. We will be back to stay again and will try to stay longer next time.

NNiuniuzoushijieIt is very convenient to get to the hotel from Takayama Station, about 5-7 minutes' walk. We brought 15 yrs old children with us, and the hotel suggested us to change to a larger room so that we could add an extra bed, which made the stay more comfortable for a little extra cost. The upgraded room is very big,clean and nice. On the last day, we lost the number plate which is for storing our luggage, and the hotel fully accepted it.
I recommend this hotel as the first choice when visiting Takayama.
GGuest UserA new hotel just built in front of Takayama station. It is a stay type hotel, but artists are decorated everywhere and fashionable. This time, Superior twin. The room itself is not particularly characteristic, but there is a sofa on the window side and it can be relaxed. This sofa is a bed, so you can stay for three people. Electric pots, empty refrigerators, washing dryers, microwave ovens, etc. are also complete. Recommended for long stay. The bathroom is small in the unit. Especially the toilet is small. There is a comfortable public bath, so I wanted to relax the toilet part only by shower. Amenities are only toothbrushes, and amenities are available on the first floor. Shaving, brush, tea bags such as tea and green tea, cosmetics, cotton swabs, cotton, etc. The public bath is also fashionable with designer specifications. There is also an open-air bath. You can enjoy two different design hot springs in the men and women replacement system. The atmosphere is like a public bath in a luxury inn. It doesn't seem to be in front of the station. There are also view lounges and foot baths on the top floor. Convenient location and recommended for sightseeing and business. The staff has a level difference depending on the person. Because it is a new hotel, is it possible?
GGuest UserI was quite disappointed by the services of this hotel. It should mention it’s a self-help apartment instead of call itself a hotel so that customers’s expectations won’t be mismatched. No hotel service provided here like no towel changing, no room tidying up service, etc. my room is a tatami room, I have to set up 4 tatami beds all by myself.
when I tried to book for breakfast, the staff told me it’s full, when I tried to book the carpark, staff giving unclear information and made me failed to book upon my arrival. I arrived earlier to book for carpark, the staff said the reservation for carpark will be opened at 3pm. When I arrived at 5pm, the carpark is full. Then I asked if I could book the carpark for tomorrow, the staff said cannot book now, I asked when is the carpark slot opened for reserve, the receptionist said 10am. Really confusing ……. Staff can’t communicate in English but they will use the translation machine. Pros side is the Room is spacious but with if you are looking for hotel it’s not, better call it a self help apartment
GGuest UserThis hotel provided great service and clean accommodations. I love that hotels in Japan provide pajamas and toothbrushes. This hotel had two public baths. It's nice that they have one bath where the water is not as hot. We had the dinner buffet. It included American and chinese offerings. You receive a ticket for one serving of the Hida beef. I thought the food was good. I like that the portions are small, so you can try a lot of things. We also had the breakfast buffet which included Takayama specialty items too. There is a large souvenir shop in the hotel, so you are able to pick up gifts. I thought the prices are comparable to other gift shops. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the train station. It is a 7 minute walk to the train station, so it's not so bad. They only have two shuttles that go to Takayama Jinya (government house) which is across the bridge from Sanmachi Suji. Otherwise it's at least a 20-25 minute walk. I wish they had more shuttles to that area. There is not much to look at on the way from the hotel to Sanmachi. As Takayama becomes more popular with tourists, most of the hotel staff and store owners are able to communicate in English. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the hotel and would stay there again.
CChang Seng JustinThis hotel is centrally located, just next to the Mercure. You leave your shoes in a locker and walk along the common areas barefooted or wearing socks. It's quite a hassle putting on shoes in the reception area to leave the hotel. The drawback of this system is that some guests remove the shoe cabinet keys when they check out. There's a pair of sandals in the room which you wear when you go to the toilet. This is different from other hotels in Japan where you can wear the sandals around the hotel. The onsen area is certainly superior. Photo is the view from my room.
GGuest UserThe hotel is nice. It offers a welcome drink for guests and there us a seating area at the lobby where guests can chitchat there . The breakfast area is a little bit small and sometimes guests need to wait for awhile for getting seats. It is quite close to the Frespo Takayama outlet where there are Uniqlo, a sports store, V Drug pharmacy and Aoki shop. When we returned to the hotel at night, the street was quiet and there were not many street lights.
GGuest UserFree parking is large and there is a second parking lot. There is also a convenience store opposite, which is convenient. In the lobby, you can enjoy the atmosphere of Hida Takayama, such as the retro colors of Hida Takayama and the decoration of Hanamochi. The room is double and you can't feel the size alone. You can spend your time comfortably with equipment such as independent air conditioner and large TV. You should take a bath in the large communal bath and open-air bath. It is a weak alkaline (pH8.2) hot spring, and the skin is smooth. The open-air bath with natural stones is comfortable with the murmuring of the river and is lit up at night. I was impressed that the flowers of the hot water were in bloom. Breakfast is buffet style. The menu is normal, but there are many vegetable dishes from Hida Takayama. Surprisingly, I'm happy to have delicious morning curry. I was satisfied with the hotel with three beats of rooms, hot springs and meals.
YYi PingBecause I only met the boss, the whole service was very friendly. Even though Abo's English was mediocre, I could feel his sincerity. There are indoor or outdoor hot springs in the B&B, which are highly recommended. The Hida beef meal that comes with dinner is also quite delicious!
If you want to enjoy an affordable and local hot spring hotel in Okuhida, this is the right place.
