A great spot on the outskirts of Takayama. It’s a little walk (around 20 minutes) from the centre but there are buses you can get and the hotel offers a free shuttle to the bus station when you check out which was so so appreciated! The hotel itself is super clean and comfortable. There is a big kitchen if you want to cook and the showers were great too. There’s also a washer and dryer if needed during your stay. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting!

The host was so kind, he even provides his own "shuttle-service" to the train station each morning. Otherwise, it is a nice, quiet Hostel, which has everything you need. While there were not many people there when I was staying, I can imagine this being a good place to meet people while traveling.

“Cozy stay”
Room was quiet and cosy, and friendly staff who made sure we got a discount voucher for Hida Museum. They have 4 free shuttle rides in the morning to the bus station too which is great and saves a long walk! Also provides a map with some good recommendations.

“Great stay in a cozy and clean hostel with friendly staff!”
Friendly staff, comfortable beds, nice and clean showers, free lockers for valuables, seating area for relaxing, fending machine in the lobby for refreshments :) They even offer a free shuttle bus to the station early in the morning! We used it to get to Kamikochi valley early, and we had a great day hike there!

“Fun, cosy and clean!”
Really cosy! Shampoo, conditioner and body wash included but bath towels are 100¥ to rent, also very cheap bike rentals at 800¥ for 12h! Super nice and polite workers, they also try their best to speak English knowing that we’re foreigners. Changed the bin regularly, once a day. Everything was always clean, women’s bathroom was amazing!! Super comfortable bed, AC and heater/fan has English signs to make it easier for use. Nice area away from the main city, but up a hill and since it’s far from the city, it’s a bit tedious to get to and from. In the morning, they have a free shuttle (mini van driven by the workers!) every 45 minutes from 7:15 to 9:30 (AM) which is really appreciated 🤗

Very central, facilities were all good and clean. The room had AC, a kerosene heater AND heated blankets (which were an absolute godsend in this cold!!) Had a really good, comfortable stay, thank you!
