Based on our room, I would stay elsewhere.
Pros:

Sara at reception was wonderful. She goes above and beyond to help you and she does it all with a smile.

Cons:

If you do stay here do not book the deluxe room. The toilet area is literally 1 foot from the bed while the rest of the bathroom is on the other side of the couch/living room area. So unless you’re good with a toilet right next to your bed avoid this room. Also, you can’t see the TV from the bed, which isn’t a huge deal, but just something to be aware of in this room. But the couch in the tv area is not comfortable at all.

Pros:

A beautifully modernised take on a traditional Japanese house, featuring a very nice design. The rooms were clean and a good size.

Cons:

It was a bit of an adventure figuring out how to use the washing machine. The control panel was in Japanese, and the English instructions didn’t really match the labels on the machine. Google Translate added to the confusion more than it helped (as it sometimes does with Japanese), but after some trial and error, we eventually managed to get our clothes washed.

비오는 날이어서 역과 가까운 곳으로 예약했는데 역에서 도보 3분정도이고 우산도 준비되어 있어서 잘 이용했습니다

Cons:

히노끼색깔의 플라스틱욕조ㅠ 준비해주신 가습기에는 곰팡이 잔뜩이고 바닥 카페트는 냄새가 났습니다.에어컨은 수시로 웅웅 거려서 잠을 못 잤네요

Takayama 2 night stay
Pros:

The hotel was ideally situated in a lovely part of Takayama. Very quiet and very clean.

Cons:

There was no way of stopping the light coming from the bathroom, this woke us up very early due to the sunlight streaming in at 05:30

Lovely place to stay while visiting Takayama
Pros:

eph TAKAYAMA was a lovely hotel.

The room was spacious for a Japanese hotel and came with basic amenities, but more than enough for a comfortable night’s stay. The toiletries provided were excellent and among the best we experienced during our trip around Japan.

The location was great, close to the station while also within easy reach of the main areas, making it very convenient for exploring. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. On the morning of checkout, we had not pre-booked breakfast in the small café attached to the hotel. Despite being busy, they went above and beyond to accommodate us and find a table.

We would definitely stay here again.
