Top 5-Star Hotels in Takayama

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.

This place was unexpected. We wanted to be in the center of town and have Western beds and booking from afar was a bit difficult so we found this online and went for it. We arrived and found a sort of dated but comfortable hotel with lovely staff. It was a bit formal with lots of rules about set menus and what time breakfast would be served. But the instructions were in English and the manager/owner and all the help were very helpful.

Our group of 6 stayed here in February 2024. We stayed for several nights in the Japanese-style rooms with futons on tatami mats. This ryokan was located about 10-15 minutes away from Takayama Station and was easily accessible on foot even when we were dragging our luggage along. If walking's not your thing, the ryokan also has a shuttle service available, though we didn't take this up and can't confirm if it's a paid service or not. Apart from its proximity to Takayama Station, the ryokan is also mere minutes away from the Old Town area of Takayama, making it extremely accessible as a base of operations. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the ryokan staff who promptly attended to our check in while serving up hot tea and a welcome dessert. The staff also walked us to our rooms while explaining how everything worked. The rooms were spacious and clean. The public bath areas were also well-maintained and pleasant to use. Possibly the only area of improvement would be the bedding, as the futons were generally thin and provided little to no cushioning against the floor. The pillows were also unfortunately rather flat and not fluffy, and generally required some propping up to provide any sort of support. On the whole, we enjoyed our experience and would be glad to stay here again if we were to return to Takayama.

At Chajin no Yado Hakuunsou , exceptional service and top-notch amenities create a memorable experience for guests. Complimentary internet access is available in the ryokan to ensure you stay connected during your visit.Complimentary parking is available for guests. Allow your journey to be free from the pangs of hunger! On-site eateries offer delicious and accessible meal choices.

Excellent location to see Takayama and beyond (near station). Delicious, varied Japanes breakfast buffet. Very helpful staff. Happy Hour - free drink is an excellent opportunity to meet other travellers, - free curry is not so impressive and detracted from the hotel's image.

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.

Room was pretty spacious by Japanese standards. I enjoyed that they offered three private onsens that you could use at no additional cost with no reservation required. Free ice cream is available after your bath. There are hotels closer to JR Takayama Station but it’s still a reasonable walking distance.

A new hotel just built in front of Takayama station. It is a stay type hotel, but artists are decorated everywhere and fashionable. This time, Superior twin. The room itself is not particularly characteristic, but there is a sofa on the window side and it can be relaxed. This sofa is a bed, so you can stay for three people. Electric pots, empty refrigerators, washing dryers, microwave ovens, etc. are also complete. Recommended for long stay. The bathroom is small in the unit. Especially the toilet is small. There is a comfortable public bath, so I wanted to relax the toilet part only by shower. Amenities are only toothbrushes, and amenities are available on the first floor. Shaving, brush, tea bags such as tea and green tea, cosmetics, cotton swabs, cotton, etc. The public bath is also fashionable with designer specifications. There is also an open-air bath. You can enjoy two different design hot springs in the men and women replacement system. The atmosphere is like a public bath in a luxury inn. It doesn't seem to be in front of the station. There are also view lounges and foot baths on the top floor. Convenient location and recommended for sightseeing and business. The staff has a level difference depending on the person. Because it is a new hotel, is it possible?

Extremely well located if you want to be right next to the train station and bus station - my room overlooked the tracks. Provision of washing machine and dryer is a superb bonus inroom as are the full cooking facilities. The hotel intelligently provides basics such as oil, salt, coffee, tea and even a couple of detergent sachets for the washing. Strangelt though, no knives or other cutting implements of any kind. A tip if you intent to cook. The Family Mart opposite is basic, but there is a huge supermarket under the tracks and just beyond MacDonalds where you can get international food as well as Japanese. Slightly dreary corridors and a reception crowded with people waiting for their room to become available. But on the plus side they let me into my room early as I was unwell at the time.

I can't comment on value as this was part of a cycle tour with my bike club (BAC) and Cycling Japan, but my room was really lovely and quiet with a great view. I loved the comfy bed and ergonomic desk chair. The onsen was on the top floor and really lovely with inside and outside pools. The staff was super helpful (the manager helped me find and reserve a wonderful dinner choice - Bistro Kanzo) and breakfast was also really good with local items (not your too-often too many overcooked and deep-fried items). Also, a perfect location for exploring Takayama. This is my 4th trip to Japan and I have stayed in so many accommodations on cycling and hiking tours, so I do have some context. For me, Alpina checked all of the boxes: room, view, staff, breakfast, onsen, location.
