“I would highly recommend staying here. We would return.”
Really friendly lovely staff meet you on arrival. The building has a warm lovely character with lots of timber & a tiny courtyard garden. It’s central but in a quiet location. Next door to an onsen.

“THE spot in Takayama, without any doubt !”
Greatest spot of my trip in Japan so far. I don't even know where to start : - the owners were adorable, they can assist you in making a bus reservation, they are open to chat with you and care about your comfort and experience in Takayama. They didn't say anything to me when I booked out a little bit later than expected... - There are many things for the clients like green tea, cups and kitchenware. Very useful. - The beds and rooms are clean and comfy. - The commons areas are really cool and it's very easy to meet new people. I personally really enjoyed my stay here, I met a few others solo travellers whom I went to a nearby restaurant with. - The hostel is not too close the historical neighbourhoods and the station, but close enough to get there by foot ; which makes it quiet at night but still practical. - The hostel itself is well decorated and chill, with a little patio. The vibe is really something else, but you have to try it to feel it !

“Good value for money!”
Seamless check in and check out. A good value for money. 7 Eleven is 5 minute walk. Very convenient! The room is adequate and pretty for us 3 and our 3 suitcases + 4 backpacks. It gets the work done. There's a pretty indoor garden too, but since it's winter, I don't really get the chance to enjoy it as it's really cold... The common amenities are good too!

“Great for the festival but a bit expensive”
Great location close to the town for the takayama festival. Had access to the other cup of tea hotel's lounge which was nicer and bigger than the one at this hostel.
