In a stylish wooden hotel, Very nice and comfortable quadruple rooms with upper beds for our 2 kids. I spent my best night in Japan :-) on top the room offers a dedicated separate living room. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Nice complimentary teas with a lot of flavors to try. 5 min walk from the city center and 10 min from train station.

“Very nice stay in a Authentic Machiya”
It was a wonderful stay; the fact that it's a machiya added a very authentic touch to our trip. Furthermore, its location is quite convenient, allowing easy walking distance from the station and then exploring the historic center. I would definitely stay there again!

“Loved everything!”
We loved everything about this stay: the house, the location, the facilities, the cleanliness, the bath, the amenities. My kids loved staying in their own room upstairs. The balcony / terrace was perfect for a morning coffee while listening to the river flow by. The house was extremely clean and extremely spacious. Great with free laundry and a drying rack. Appreciate the coffee, tea, laundry detergent, etc.) Parking is possible & payable for a very reasonable fee closeby (I think 1000 yen / day).

“A home in Takayama to enjoy and enjoy going back to after being out and about.”
The peaceful but friendly ambience. The magical breakfast both Japanese and Western style. The little extras - games, books, bowls of rice crackers or biscuits or fruit when you were having coffee or an evening drink.
