Hida Hanasatonoyu Takayama Ouan

The staff at this hotel were excellent - very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is close to the train station and central shopping area.

Private Onsens at the top floor were amazing. Room felt nice and very traditional. The staff were all very helpful and versed in english and the hotel gave out so many free amenities like free shaved ice and ramen daily!

Great nothing to complain. Except bed is soft so I have backache. Feel stuffy in bathroom.

A middle-to-high-end onsen inn located in proximity to Takayama JR station. Grand hotel exterior. Staff were very welcoming. Room was spacious and pristine. However, the aircon was noisy during the evening.
Hot springs are well maintained and clear instructions and signages throughout the hotel.

We took the Hida from Nagoya and as soon as you exit, it is a shoe 5-minute walk to your right. The check in was through a kiosk and staff was there to assist if needed. After checking in, the staff explained all of the features of the hotel including the barefoot policy, the onsen and the included nightly ramen service. Our room was spacious with a tea service container on the table. The amenities included a double and single bed, refrigerator, makeup area for my wife, a television (never used while we were there!), and a very nice bathroom. The onsen on the 13th floor had a waiting area with public men’s and women’s onsens along with three private onsens. Also on the 13th floor was a laundry room with two washers and two dryers. Washing was free and the dryer cost 100Y for 20 min. The hotel was very close (10 min walk) to the old town and the daily Miyagawa outdoor market. An amazing hotel that I’d recommend 100%!

I liked the fact that they had everyone remove and store their footwear in lockers when coming onto the facility, preventing people from wearing dirty footwear on the premises including the rooms. Suitcase wheels were also easily cleaned by rolling them through a cleaning station.

An unusual property the entire floor in the building is covered by tatami-like mat so everybody needs to take shoes off on the first floor. The onsen bath room is on the 13th floor with a good Takayama town view.

The onsen bath was the draw. The property was a bit dated but clean enough and close to Old Town.

Unique vibe unlike any hotel I’ve been to.

Really liked the Onsen!

A great location - a few minutes to the station and 10-15 min walk to old town. Really nice Ryokan style facility - shoes off at the entrance, Tatami mats throughout, group and individual onsens on the top floor with views of the city
And the breakfast buffet was an impressive array of eastern and western foods.

My favourite place of stay so far! The interior is beautiful, staff are very friendly and helpful, indoors are very clean, and the onsens were amazing.

I will stay here when I visit Takayama again!

I love this hotel!

A short distance from Takayama Station within walking distance. Excellent service include free flow of ice pop and a bowl of simple ramen as supper.

Onsen view overlooking northern alps during clear weather.

Pte onsen usage could have improved by booking slot to prevent time slot over run served as a reminder. During my stay, encounter a foreign couple being inconsiderate who occupied more than 1 hour.

Comfortable and very clean property. Loved the onsen upstairs

Great location, comfortable and good facilities

Amazing scenery and location. Couldn’t be happier.

Very nice hotel, great location and the private baths were a nice bonus!

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at

Super comfy. Tatami (shoeless) flooring, complementary evening ramen. It’s a biggish hotel but still managed to be charming.
