The hotel is new and very clean, and the staff are super friendly. It's about a five-minute walk from the JR station or bus stop. Getting to Takayama Old Town or the morning market isn't far on foot either. Plus, the public bath on the ninth floor was incredibly relaxing!
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.
Very lovely and warm homestay. Will give a 5 star if the stairs can be substituted with lift. Am very thankful to the host helping to carry my large luggage up 3 flights of stairs.
Room is super cosy and bed is comfy.
The accommodation looks like an old Japanese-style house. The room downstairs has a Japanese-style fireplace, but unfortunately I saw it when I left, so I didn't take a picture. The room was on the upper floor of the house. I slept comfortably and was quiet. I felt fully rested. The bathroom is downstairs, you have to walk up and down. The shower room is switched between men and women and closes at 22.00. It's a pity that I wanted to try the outdoor type, but at that time it was the men's bathroom. The water in the bath smelled quite a bit of chlorine. The accommodation might have encountered insects (I saw that it was written, but we went and didn't encounter any). The air conditioner can be turned on, but the temperature must be high because if it's low, it will become a heater. The air conditioner is a bit loud. There is both a heater and an air conditioner in the room. I'm not sure if it works, but I turned it on because I'm not used to the lack of ventilation. The mattress is okay, not too thin. The pillow has pellets. At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep. After sleeping for a while, I slept well. There is a parking lot behind the accommodation. There is enough parking, but we parked in front of the accommodation. The way up to the accommodation is very steep. If you're not a strong driver, you might get hit. Be careful or have a skilled driver drive up. This accommodation should be suitable for people who drive around by themselves.
I stayed here to go to the Toki outlet. The hotel was very clean and I had nothing to say. The hot water in the large bath was a nice temperature and warmed me to the core, so I slept soundly. There were so many restaurants around the hotel that I had a hard time deciding what to eat.
It was a new hotel, so it was very clean. The female staff were very friendly. There were two things I didn't like. The first was that the male staff were quite cold. The second was that the refrigerator had a peculiar smell, and the smell got onto the plastic bottles I put in it. If these two points could be improved, I would like to stay again. The view from the hotel was amazing.
This Takayama hotel, which just opened this April, boasts a brand-new and clean environment and facilities. The guest rooms are fully equipped, featuring a small kitchen with an electric stove and a complete set of pots, pans, and tableware, allowing guests to cook their own meals.
The rooms feature a Japanese-style separate wet and dry bathroom design, with the toilet and shower completely independent and equipped with a smart toilet with an automatic lid. The bathroom is spacious and doesn't feel cramped, with high-quality showerhead and bathtub facilities, and ample storage space for clothes. The room includes a sofa and a TV, and by Japanese accommodation standards, the space is exceptionally spacious, making it ideal for couples, families of three, or families of four.
The only drawback is its somewhat remote location; it's not within walking distance of Takayama JR station and requires a taxi ride, costing approximately 2,000 yen. There is no restaurant on-site, but food can be ordered through the Uber delivery app and delivered directly to the hotel entrance. Additionally, the hotel lacks an elevator; if you're staying on the second floor, you'll need to carry your luggage up and down the stairs yourself.
Highly Recommended
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.
The price is very good, although the room is a bit tight if you have a lot of luggage. The bed and pillow allowed me to have a very good rest. I would deep clean the dust off the window and furniture more thoroughly. It was a bit bothersome as I have some allergies. It's close to the station and has everything you need for a good stay. There's an 18-meter Buddha nearby that I recommend seeing in person.
Thank you for your kind reply by phone or at the front desk before check-in.
I want to use it again.
Very Good

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.
DDuboisTristanThis 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.
GGuest UserThe hotel is 15 minutes walk from the railway station bus stop, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The hotel is run by several elderly people. It is already a 65-year-old hotel. Starting from the boss's grandfather, the house has a history of 125 years and is very Japanese. The ornaments in the house can be shot for an hour. There is a special doll, and I am fortunate to see the dolls of the boys' day. The old people are very enthusiastic, the breakfast is delicious, it is served by a Japanese grandmother. It is really like a grandmother in anime. It is very similar to talking and walking. The breakfast is very harmonious. I still remember the fish.
Wwondrous lifeStaying 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.
GGuest UserHonestly, 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!
HhumblezIt's walkable from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal. I don't think it's far. Along the way, there are also a couple of public foot baths you can stop by.
On Trip.com, only rooms with shared bathrooms seem to be available, but they also have rooms with private bathrooms. I think you'll need to book through their official website if you want that option.
The meal included with our room is fairly basic such as tonkatsu or beef curry. However, if you book a room with a private bathroom, you can choose meals like grilled beef or beef sukiyaki instead.
The onsen water contains a lot of mineral sediment (I guess that maybe a good thing?) The bathroom facilities, though, are quite old.
GGuest User😌 Super friendly! I even got to try some local specialty food.
Looking at the snow-capped scenery while soaking in the hot spring! So refreshing!
After the hot spring, you can even grab a bottle of milk! Perfect!
😃 No need to worry about communication, as there are foreign staff who can speak English!
GGuest UserThis is a youth hostel. I booked a four-person female room for two nights. Perhaps it wasn't peak season, as there were only two people occupying the room each night (including me). I checked in at the Relex Hotel (near JR Takayama Station, seemingly owned by the same company), and then followed the route (see Figure 1) to the youth hostel. Upon arrival, everything was self-service. There's a 7-11 nearby, making the location quite convenient. While the service wasn't very good, the guests were quite polite. The facilities are dated, and the soundproofing is poor; you can hear people walking in the hallway. Light sleepers should consider this option carefully.
