Hotellit kaupunginosassa Hirayu Onsen, Takayama

Situated in a tranquil area in Gifu Region, a 52-minute drive away from JR Takayama Station, Mozumo boasts a hot-spring bath and rooms decorated with modern Japanese interior. We absolutely loved everything about Mozumo! We were two couples travelling together, we stayed for one night and had dinner all together in one of the rooms. The rooms were very beautiful, in traditional style, comfortable, quiet, and the private onsen was incredible. As for the dinner, one of the best we've ever had. And the staff was extremely polite and helpful. Thumbs up to the lady that was serving our dinner, she was so kind, made us feel so welcome and cared for our every need. Overall, it's a 200% recommended experience!

Situated in the Okuhida Onsen district in Takayama, 29 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village, Yunohirakan boasts air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi. Free private parking is available on site. An excellent place to stay. Food was excellent and facilities were great. The private onsens was the main reason we decided to stay here. They had a small, medium and large private onsens on top of the public baths that were available. Very easy to access and the perfect getaway for myself and the wifey!

Offering free flowing spring water from two different hot springs and ski storage space, Oyado Eitaro is set in the Okuhida Onsen district in Takayama. Free private parking is available on site. One stop shop to get an introduction to top class Hida cuisine. From the A5 wagyu to the soba, everything was perfectly served. The room and onsen gave a very traditional Japanese feel and we enjoyed it very very much.

Tabist Kazeyuki in Takayama provides adults-only accommodation with free bikes, a garden and a shared lounge. Ryokan is located close to the bus station. The staff was very nice and welcoming. They gave me all the information about the hotel. The room and the hotel in general looked very nice. The was some problem with outdoor onsen and it was not available. I was informed about it in advance. However, the two indoor onsens worked as expected, so I was able to enjoy the hot baths several times during my stay. I'm a budget tourist and originally I chose this hotel because it was the most affordable in town. I didn't know what to expect, but my stay turned out to be excellent. Without experiencing living in ryokan and taking an onsen bath, my Japan experience wouldn't be full.

Offering an open-air bath and garden view, Hirayukan is situated in Takayama, 35 km from Takayama Station and 37 km from Hida Minzoku Mura Folk Village. Lovely Ryokan in the heart of Hirayu, very close to the bus stop. The Japanese style room was beautiful and large with a serene view overlooking a pond. Everything was comfortable and clean. The onsen had stunning mountain views and the male/female areas swap each day so you can experience different views of the mountains. The buffet breakfast had a huge range of both Western and Japanese food. It was a relaxing and special stay for us.

Located north of Hirayu Hot Spring Ski Area and a 1-minute walk from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal, Tsuyukusa boasts an on-site natural hot spring. Location is ideal! We came for a night after a day of hiking in kamikochi, there are 3 private Onsens free to use- very clean and cozy. The outside Onsen is amazing!

A 3-minute walk from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal, Okada Ryokan Warakutei features Japanese-style accommodations with mountain views. The layout was nice, and the food was interesting and varied. We had 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners. All fabulous.

Nestled in the tranquil Hida Mountains, Miyama Ouan Kyoritsu Resort offers traditional accommodation featuring hot spring baths and nature views. Everything, we had a hot tube in the room and was amazing, free beer, free coffee, and free ramen. Private outside onsen was great

At Nakamurakan, guests can relax in the indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and enjoy traditional multi-course meals with a Nakai-san personal attendant service. The staff here were soooo friendly and helpful. Most of the front desk staff speak decent English and are super helpful. My fiance felt that the privaye onsen was a bit too hot and they were very quick in allowing us to use another one with slightly milder temperatures. The numerous reviews of the lack of cleanliness in the hotel have either been overstated or addressed. The room was very large and clean. The reviews of the onsen having algae are understandably ignorant, the algae is something that onsen enthusiasts enjoy because it (supposedly) has incredibly positive effects on your skin, and is a sign that the onsen water has not been treated with harsh chemicals. The food was incredible and you should definitely opt for the half board. Both breakfasts and dinners we had were a huge spread and very filling, we did have issues breathing after finishing our meals. It is regrettable that there are so many negative reviews which I feel are quite unfair after staying here, as they definitely did make me second guess my choice to stay here. The place has been a bit worn with age but this has only lent to its charm. The futon beds were very comfortable, and better than the ones we slept on at more expensive ryokans. I wish that the gift shop was a bit more well stocked. I hope to return to see this establishment rejuvenated in the future. Perhaps if the garden was restored and certain parts of the hotel refreshed, it would be a truly exceptional stay.
