average.
It is only a place to sleep nothing else. It is a little hard to climb stairs and does not suit to people over 50 years old. In Takayama city there are not restaurants to serve breakfast and this property does not provide anything else that good morning and sayonara.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is a short 3.5 block walk from the Takayama JR Train Station, and a very reasonable walk to most of the local sights. If your feet start wearing out, it's a short 3 block walk to the bus station where you can catch the circle route city bus that stops at/near all the local attractions, and one that goes to the Hida village museum. The family that runs the hotel is very friendly, and they keep the establishment very clean and tidy. The public bathing facilities are very nice and relaxing after a long day of exploring.

A lovely place
A very nice, reasonably priced ryokan. If you want dinner -- and believe me, you want this dinner -- you musy tell them the day before. It is a great experience. The location in a very good: not far from the rail station, and not far from the historic district. The onsen is old and showing its age, but because the ryokan is small, you'll likely have it to yourself.

3stars
During my stay with my Wife this week ,we feel like the whole place belongs to us . Share bathroom / washroom is inconvenient to us who had to climb stairs. But it is safe to live and experience rural lifestyles since we both are from city dwellers. Very quiet ,too quiet and maybe I’m not use to it . Definitely will come again with my grown up children next trip for Takayama + Shirakawa GO + Shinhotaka Ropeway . Value for money homestay .

A Truly Japanese Experience
Ideal to experience a Japanese Minshuku from removing outdoor shoes at the entrance to the low level bed in the room

A quaint Japanese ryokan in convenient location
Love the rooms, however, shared bathrooms make it inconvenient to use and I can't help but get a bit creeped out when using it alone. And there are 3 stories with no elevators, and so if you have a big luggage, carrying it up and down the narrow stairways can be quite challenging.

Wonderful hot spring bath on premises
We enjoyed this authentic Japanese experience very much. The hot bath was much appreciated in the winter. The staff ( or owners) were very nice and accomodating.

Great Stay
Great homestay style hotel with Japanese tatami floor and futon beds. Simple but completed with hot spring - best for full day walking and winter season. Close to train station and the old town. The hotel owner is very helpful, he cleaned up the snow collected under the luggage and wheel by using a small toothbrush.,

Cosy minshuku
Comfortable room, pleasant in-house onsen and lovely traditional Japanese breakfast (not included in the room price but well worth the extra ¥800/person). Good central location. Recommended.

Good value for the money
The hotel was good. My only complaint was the bath was awful tight. Room for 3 adult males. I understand that the women's bath was larger but they didn't switch every night as I understood.
