The room was neat and clean. The only thing is they had to toilet separated from the bath. Although they had a sink, they did not have a soap dispenser in the toilet room. So you would have to walk over to the bath area to wash your hands with soap.

Great and comfy boutique hotel
Lovely boutique hôtel. Confortable beds, nice sitting area and beautiful big wooden bathtub. Well situated to wander around the city. Nice café downstairs. Amazing service, room was ready before so we could access earlier. We had the luggage sent by Yamoto, and it was already in the room.

Very comfortable and modern hotel just a few minutes walking from Takayama station. Very friendly welcome and staff, small but lovely (bath)room with separate wc. Café on ground flour is perfect for breakfast and lunch. 5 stars well deserved!

The hotel is almost directly across from the train and bus station making it very convenient. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The traditional soaking tub was wonderful, since the weather was cold and sometimes rainy.

Amazing Boutique Hotel
This is an amazing boutique hotel. There are 12 rooms on 6 floors with reception and an excellent restaurant on the ground level. My room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and attractive/very well-designed. I opted to pay for a first-rate breakfast with the room -- the panini of the day, a salad, a mixed berry banana smoothie, and yogurt with granola. Loved it. All of the food at the restaurant was excellent. Plus they serve alcohol. The only drawback to the restaurant is that it closes at 5 pm. The staff are uniformly pleasant and hard-working. The location can't be beat - 5 minutes the the train station and within easy walking distance of most tourist sites.

Perfect modern hotel room with a perfect location!
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. It was very close (walking distance) to the Takayama Station & the Bus Station (for Shirokawago), and also walking distance to the old town area. The room is very efficiently laid out with a hinoki-like tub and shower room with a separate toilet (washlet) room and a separate little tea/coffee area. It has an open-style closet with a clothes hanging rod and shelf for luggage. The beds were a little hard for me, but I know the Japanese/Asian guests like hard beds. I like that they had 2 different types of pillows: one soft and one harder with beads on one side. My room came with breakfast and 2 free drinks from the Hid's Cafe & Bar. The food was excellent and the cafe latte was superb!!!

Decent place near the station
Despite the photo and map we walked past the hotel twice before we realized it was behind the curtain. Once we found it everything was great. The room was comfortable and in good condition. You have to get used to having the bathroom light come on when you open the door and the toilet seat popping up. We have a traditional hinoki tub in our house so this one felt almost like plastic - but it looked good and had a great shower. The hotel provided two bottles of water and drip coffee. We heard no noise from the road and there were only two other rooms on our floor.

A small boutique hotel that met all our needs. Professional and friendly staff. We booked the executive suite which was a room on its own on the 6th floor and worth the extra cost for its larger space. Enjoyed the wood tub for great soaks after lots of walking.

We really liked the location. Very close to train and bus station, less than two blocks away. Short walk to old takayama town and the morning markets. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Coin laundry machine was convenient as was the small cafe next door. Would highly recommend!!!
