The hotel is in an excellent location with great amenities nearby. It's just a bridge away from Miyagawa Morning Market and very close to the old town of Takayama. During my two-day stay, all the other guests I encountered were European, and I was the only Asian person in the entire backpacker room, which was a very unique experience.
Location: Excellent, right across from the Nohi Bus Terminal, about a 5-minute walk! Very convenient.
Service: The hotel front desk service was excellent, with smiling and very professional staff.
Facilities: Brand new hotel with well-maintained and functional facilities. The high-floor views were great, and the rooftop hot spring was very comfortable.
Cleanliness: The hotel was very clean and tidy!
We were lucky; it snowed on our first day in Takayama. We woke up to a blanket of snow, and there was even a cute snowman built outside the hotel entrance.
It's about a 15-minute walk to Miyagawa Morning Market, where we enjoyed Hida beef rice balls and rich Takayama milk—very satisfying!
I highly recommend this onsen hotel! We booked early, so it was excellent value for money.
Blackpack style room, the bedroom is quite compact. If you store things, you have to fold the mattress up or keep it in front of the room outside the room. Online service staff recommends how to use the accommodation as a step. Safe, clean accommodation, close to tourist attractions.
Wow, this is the best I've had recently! The cost was the best. The breakfast was also good. I took the train from Chubu Centrair International Airport, but if you want to take a taxi from the nearest station, I think it would be safer to contact the hotel at the airport, tell them the arrival station and time, and ask them to arrange a taxi.
So cozy and i was lucky to have the best roomies ever ☀️
🪲PROS
- has a shuttle bus and multiple times a day or a bus station close by
- inner part of the city is reachable within 20-25 mins of walking and the folk village is very close
- kind owner and cozy interior with a very homey feel
- kitchen and bathrooms were easily accessible and clean, shampoo and shower gel were included
- coin laundry and coin dryer were easy to use and cheap as well
❤️🩹CONS
- not really a con, but remember to bring a towel and toothbrush/toothpaste, if you forget it you can also get a towel at the Inn
- 25min on foot is not that far away from the inner city and it’s great that the folk village is so close (if you want to visit) - but i had my focus on different things during my visit, so next time i would book something closer to the inner part of the city and the travel bus station
🌱 all in all, i really enjoyed my stay
An average quality onsen hotel in Gero. Not the best type but also better than many. It is a matter of one's choice in spending more money for better choices or not, as the price range in Gero can be 100% difference for the best and those with much lower price. All onsen are old in the hardware facilities, but traditional.

Landing in Nagoya, I played for a day and finished dinner at 20 o'clock before taking the train to Shanghai. This is a self-service hotel near Meinong Taitian Station. I will send an email to inform the access code in advance. After entering, the ipad will scan the passport photo and show the room number and electronic lock password. It is very convenient. Suitable for i people. There is an elevator.
The room has a separate toilet and bathtub shower, bath towels and pajamas are also prepared, and there is a deodorizing spray on the hanger, which is very clean and convenient.
The next morning at five o'clock in the morning, I walked to the station to see the cloth bag Buddha wearing sunglasses. It was also very convenient to go to the hotel in Inushan City.
Staying at Hostel Miyagawa by Murasaki Ryokan was truly one of the highlights of my trip — an unforgettable experience that beautifully blended comfort, tradition, and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm, peaceful atmosphere that reflected the essence of a traditional Japanese ryokan. The design of the space is charming and authentic, with thoughtful touches that bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Everything from the tatami rooms to the meticulously clean facilities made the stay incredibly comfortable. What truly made it special, though, was the feeling of calm and connection to local traditions that this place offers. It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s a cultural experience in itself. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in an authentic and beautiful ryokan stay.
The owner is so kind. The facilities are well equipped and tidy. The location is station and distance. But it's okay because there are many things to see on the way. The disadvantage is that there is not enough place to eat near the hostel. But the dormitory is very attractive to cover the shortcomings If you want to feel the unique atmosphere of Japan, it is recommended

The location is strategic, and the place is very comfortable and clean
CConstanceThis appears to be a family-run business with warm hearted hospitality. The hosts didn’t speak much English but we managed to use a digital translator to communicate.
Am grateful the hotel provides free shuttle pick up from Hida Osaka Train station. We had to get our previous hotel to ring Senyukan to inform them
about the expected timing of our train arrival. We appreciate the immense patience of the hotel shuttle driver. She put up with 2 changes of timing of our train arrival because of significant delays from the Highway bus from Nagoya to Takayama where we had to connect to Hida Osaka Train station.
We had booked to stay 3 nights and loved every moment of the stay. The kaiseki Hida Beef dinner had the perfect balance of sweet/sour/ salty taste. Each dinner also had a cooked fish either grilled, steamed or poached, in addition to sashimi ( raw seafood). The soup was exquisitely flavourful as was the freshly prepared salad and tempura ( deep fried vegetable fritters). All the food items were plated with pleasing artistry.
We had booked the hotel for its hotsprings which lived up to their therapeutic reputation. Although the sex-segregated pools were for hotel guests,
we found ourselves often the only ones who used them at the time. Highly recommend this hotel for its affordability and wonderful value-added hospitality.
The only downside of the hotel is that the wifi signal is not always stable in the guest rooms. But wifi is more accessible from the hotel lobby.
This place was absolute amazing! By far our favorite place from our whole trip. The location was absolutely perfect for the Takyama festival. We were literally right there with shops and street vendors 50 yards away and the parades would have been right there as well if they weren't canceled due to rain. The rooms were humble and traditional and really added to the experience. The tea in the room was exceptionally good and the traditional Japanese breakfast they served was also delicious and fun to eat. We didn't even know they had a legitimate hot spring on site, but they did! They are Japanese style baths so be ready for that, but the water was therapeutic and so relaxing. I cant recommend this place enough and I would absolute make it a point to visit Takyama and stay here again for a few days on our next trip to Japan. They were such great kind hosts. And I cant believe the price, what an great value. Do yourself a favor and stay here. I'm not sure why the other bad reviews are here I read some of them and they sound like entitled stupid American tourists so ignore them and stay here.
Simply an amazing stay. First trip to Japan and first ever stay at a Ryokan & was not disappointed. The mother & daughter (5th & 6th generation)hosts were super accommodating and felt very privileged that they had opened their Inn for solo travelers like myself to enjoy. The feeling of history at the Inn, felt almost like staying within a piece of living art. Ikebana display in the front display and Bonsai in the courtyard that are over 500 hundred years old, it made the whole experience an immersive one. The dinner and breakfasts were an experience that were perfectly executed. Of course local / home grown ingredients were the stars of these meals and every dish was tastier than the last. Thank you for making my stay feel comfortable and relaxed. Ena is one of the historical postal towns on the Nakasendo trail & recommend visiting and staying here if you are taking the less touristy route. とても思い出に残る滞在にしてくださった旅館のとても親切なスタッフに感謝します。
I visited with my family. The owner was very kind and we had a comfortable stay. There was a separate bathroom, but it wasn't too inconvenient. However, the shower facilities were shared, so it was a little inconvenient. It would be better if the shared bathroom could be reserved by the hour.
We were on a roadtrip, returning from Shirakawa-go and needed a place to overnight before the drive back to Nagoya the next morning. Hotels around Gifu area were more expensive so we decided on Seki, and it met all our requirements. 2-star hotel hence we were quite pleased with the onsen availability - but note that it is 1 onsen only so it will be for males during certain hours, and for females only during other times, be sure to check the schedule and the sign in front of the hot spring room before entering. Breakfast was so good, we did not expect so many options, it was a small dining area but we did not have to wait for a seat though we were there around 8am which is usually the peak breakfast time for Japan hotels. Oh, parking is also FOC in front of the hotel. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick pitstop.
Honestly, I didn’t read before booking as there wasn’t much info. No room pics etc. Had 2 adults 2 young children. When we arrived, we were shocked as it was old and there wasn’t a private bathroom. However, the owner was really welcoming. She brought us to our room and it was this very traditional tatami room (which we never stayed in before). There was also this lovely private onsen, very suitable for us as we are very conservative. We only had an issue with the shared bath but that’s just us. It was really clean and everyone was friendly. Had a really good sleep, plenty of stars in the sky at night, 10mins to Shinhotaka ropeway (be there EARLY pls) Breakfast starts at 730. Be there at 730. Very traditional breakfast (to us at least), had to google how to eat but was a real good experience!
A small ryokan right next to bus station and entrance of Shirakawago. It is the best location to stay there. However, it is not gussho house but it is a full ryokan with onsen and meals. I stayed in a room with bed, not tatami floor. All rooms are without toilet and bathroom. Drinking water fountain is provided. Two coffee vouchers per day were provided, but not served during or after meal. It is available at front desk. Meals were great. This place is on high price as its location. We pay for convenience and location. There is a small supermarket nearby too but it is close early. They also sell used (but washed and clean) yukata too. Onsen is good, available both indoor and outdoor, as well as sauna.
