Takayama Hotels with Bars

We found our Superior Twin Room spacious and comfortable. Beautiful furnishings in the room. We had a great time with the family bath. The self-serviced roast marshmallow on 1/F was a nice surprise. We loved that. The breakfast provided a wide selection including some local dishes. Great stuff.

Incredible value!! For $100 USD a night, I got a wonderful room, laundry facilities, breakfast and happy hour, and an amazing Japanese bath/spa complete with popsicles. I doubled my time here because it was the best value hotel I stayed in on my Japan trip (I also stayed at the Conrad Tokyo!) - I would go back in a heartbeat. Super helpful and friendly staff, the best location in Takayama, and an amazing vibe. Just stay!

This hotel provided great service and clean accommodations. I love that hotels in Japan provide pajamas and toothbrushes. This hotel had two public baths. It's nice that they have one bath where the water is not as hot. We had the dinner buffet. It included American and chinese offerings. You receive a ticket for one serving of the Hida beef. I thought the food was good. I like that the portions are small, so you can try a lot of things. We also had the breakfast buffet which included Takayama specialty items too. There is a large souvenir shop in the hotel, so you are able to pick up gifts. I thought the prices are comparable to other gift shops. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the train station. It is a 7 minute walk to the train station, so it's not so bad. They only have two shuttles that go to Takayama Jinya (government house) which is across the bridge from Sanmachi Suji. Otherwise it's at least a 20-25 minute walk. I wish they had more shuttles to that area. There is not much to look at on the way from the hotel to Sanmachi. As Takayama becomes more popular with tourists, most of the hotel staff and store owners are able to communicate in English. Overall, I enjoyed my time at the hotel and would stay there again.

We were lucky to stay at Mercure Takayami on their opening night. Everything about the hotel was above our expectations. Rooms were a very comfortable with attention to detail. Having USB and USB C charging ports for our electronics next to the bed was very convenient and meant we didn't need to search for our Japan power adaptors. This hotel has been well designed with a focus on local traditional carpentry and joinery skills. When you book this hotel make sure you book a room that includes access to the private Onsen. We had an open-air experience while we watched the snow from our private onsen. Breakfast had an extensive range of Tradition Hida dishes and Western choices, with different options available each day. This was a great way to try Hida Beef Curry and Hida chicken cooked on a traditional grill. Staff were very helpful going above and beyond with their dedicated and personal service, even searching the internet for me to find a store that sold Yama Cola. We will be back to stay again and will try to stay longer next time.

Ein sehr nettes Hotel, welches erst seit 1 Jahr in Betrieb ist, und in den Bergen liegt. Die Zimmer sind sehr hell und modern eingerichtet. Dort waren wir für 2 Nächte während unserer Rundreise untergebracht. Das Frühstück war nach japanischer Art und wurde am tisch serviert, was natürlich etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig war, aber trotzdem sehr gut war.

We stayed at Hotel Associa Takayama Resort as part of our tour group. We had a spacious twin room on the 15th floor of the Alps Wing which was the largest room of our tour. The room was very comfortable as were the beds. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The resort is on the outskirts of Takayama but there is a shuttle bus into the centre of the city. There are limited restaurants in the hotel and 2 of them were booked out by the time we arrived. We managed to book into the Japanese restaurant and had a delicious meal there. The breakfast buffet didn't have cereal. There was a laundromat on the ground floor which consisted of a number of combined washing machine/dryers which dispensed their own detergent.

Set up a steep little road above the beautiful town of Takayama is the lovely Ryokan Hoshokaku. You’ll be greeted at the door and after removing your shoes, your host will guide you through your stay, meals and the use of the onsen before giving you your key to the room. Please take the opportunity to immerse yourself into this traditional inn. The meals are amazing, possibly the best we ate in all of Japan and the onsen is relaxing & peaceful. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our stay memorable.

This was a welcome visit, it was part of our package that we bought when we were visiting Shinhotaka Ropeway, on our return the bus dropped us off at the bus stop and we got to spend an hour at this onsen. Ever since I have visited Japan I’ve always wanted to sit in one of their onsens during winter and this time zi got my chance, fair to say that it was probably about 0 degrees if not less but the water in the onsen was about 40 degrees, it was so beautiful sitting in the onsen with snow all around us, if you get the chance please stop here for a soak.

The room and facilities is very clean. It looks new. The location is also good there are so many restaurants near the area. The foods were also delicious. I also love the open bath it is very clean. Will definitely book it again.

Really disappointing. We've booked 2 nights in a Japanese style bedroom for a couple and when we arrived the lady told us our bedroom has a problem with the bathroom so they've ”upgraded” us. However instead of a Japanese style room with futons they gave us a western style bedroom with 4 single beds. The room was boring without any Japanese style. We aren't in Japan to sleep in the same bed (and even inconfortable ones in Ouka Guesthouse) than at home. They said we are lucky because we have a big kitchen on our floor of 3 bedrooms. Yes true but we didn't mind as we didn't plan to use it at all. And the second disappointment was that on our floor there were 3 bedrooms and one of them had a big Japanese door so pretty sure it was a Japanese style bedroom. Unoccupied for 2 nights. Anyway. Worst experience we had during our trip in Japan. I would expect more than a simple ”sorry”.
