Hot Springs Hotels in Takayama

"A classic grand resort. The service was professional, and both the dining and accommodation facilities were excellent. Here are two tips for fellow Chinese travelers: 1. The hotel provides a regular shuttle bus service to Takayama Station (which also houses the Nohi Bus Terminal for long-distance routes). A schedule is available (often displayed or provided by the hotel), and the ride takes about 8 minutes one-way. The pick-up/drop-off point at the station is on the north side (easily accessible from the central overhead walkway – just walk to the north end, take the escalator down, and it's right outside). Utilizing this schedule makes getting around Takayama incredibly convenient. Most major attractions are located about 500 meters south of the station, on both sides of the river. 2. You absolutely must experience the large hot spring baths on the hotel's 7th and 5th floors. They're free, available daily, exceptionally high-quality, and impeccably clean. Each floor boasts four distinct outdoor baths. Access is via the 6th-floor bath entrance, then guests are directed to either the 7th or 5th floor according to the daily rotation. (The baths on the 7th and 5th floors are gender-separated and alternate daily, but the facilities themselves are identical). If you visit early right after dinner, you'll often find it almost empty, essentially giving you a private onsen experience."

"The check in process might be delayed due to peak hours but we still have a good impression from the receptionist. The room is spacious and we are able to open up our 2 big sizes luggage. This hotel also offers private onsen (need to book from the receptionist, pay during check out)."

"A well-located hotel near major attractions, making sightseeing a breeze. Easy access to food and transport. The Onsen is a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. The breakfast is delicious, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend for those visiting Takayama!"

"The room is pretty small and has a musky smell which can be resolved by opening the hotel windows Decent enough for a 3 star hotel and the price The small room is a double bed as twin bed cost much more."

"The location is incredibly convenient, just a 300-meter walk from both JR Takayama Station and the Nohi Bus Terminal. What's amazing is that despite being so close, it's not noisy at all. It's an easy stroll even with luggage, which is a huge plus for travelers transferring. The hotel is quite new, and the lobby boasts an artistic design, making it a great spot for photos. The rooms are equipped with a table and chairs, and feel much more spacious compared to hotels in Japan's larger cities. It's also convenient to walk to the old town and popular sights for dining. If you head in the opposite direction, there's a large supermarket easily accessible via an underpass. The front desk staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. They even helped me resolve some minor issues I encountered during my trip, which was incredibly thoughtful. Check-in is from 3 PM, and you can store your luggage on the ground floor beforehand."

"The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, just a five-minute walk to the right after exiting the JR and Nohi Bus stations. Right next door is Ajikura Tengoku, a popular Hida beef restaurant. My tip would be to head there early to grab a queue number, then you can comfortably wait back at the hotel. The hotel is very clean, the rooms are a decent size, and there's even a hot spring bath on the top floor! The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!"

"I never imagined I'd experience something like this during a hotel stay in Japan. We stayed for three days, heading out early and returning late each day as we were doing day trips to Kamikochi and Shirakawa-go. When we returned on the evening of the second day, a white piece of clothing I had left on the bed that morning was missing. My wife and I searched through all our suitcases, but it was the only item missing; everything else was accounted for. After thinking it over, my personal guess is that because it was a pure white garment, the same color as the bath towels, the housekeeping staff might have mistaken it for a used towel and removed it. I immediately contacted the hotel's front desk. However, due to the late hour, the front desk informed me that all the housekeepers had already finished their shifts. They simply took down the details and promised to investigate and follow up the next day. However, the next day, they never proactively followed up. When I went to the front desk to inquire again, I happened to speak with the same staff member. He merely apologized, but his demeanor made it clear they hadn't found it and had no solution. There was no mention of contacting me if it reappeared or offering any compensation. It was, in short, just a verbal apology without any concrete resolution. While it wasn't a valuable item, for a hotel to lose a guest's possession and then handle the situation in such a manner is extremely unprofessional. Ultimately, to avoid letting it spoil the rest of our trip, we just had to chalk it up to bad luck."

"Although there's a shuttle bus, it's quite infrequent. Thankfully, Takayama is small, so a taxi ride only costs around 600 yen. Breakfast offered a good variety of choices. However, the onsen was quite disappointing; it felt like the water was diluted. Overall, the service was excellent! It was rather inconvenient to have to bring our own towels down to the onsen. Plus, the outdoor onsen on the ground floor is open to the public, which felt a bit odd."

"I recently had a stay at the Takayama Ouan Hotel, and I wanted to share my experience. Overall, I found it to be a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay, with some standout features. One of the first things I noticed upon arrival was the hotel's proximity to Takayama Station – it was incredibly convenient, just a short walk away, which made exploring the town very easy. The hotel has a traditional Japanese vibe right from the entrance, where you're asked to remove your shoes and store them in a locker, a practice I found added to the cozy and clean atmosphere. The tatami flooring throughout the common areas felt nice underfoot. My room was a good size, clean, and well-equipped with the usual amenities, including a comfortable Western-style bed, which was a welcome change after some traditional stays. I also appreciated the tea-making facilities. While some reviews mention the rooms might feel a little dated to some, I found mine perfectly adequate and comfortable for my needs. The onsen facilities were definitely a highlight of my stay. The rooftop baths offered amazing views of the surrounding mountains, especially during the evening – it was incredibly relaxing. There were also several types of baths to enjoy, both public and private. I made sure to try the private onsen, which was a lovely experience. After a soak, the hotel provides free ice cream, a small but delightful touch! Breakfast was another positive aspect. The buffet had a good mix of Western and Japanese options, including some local specialties like Hida beef, which was a great way to start the day. I also enjoyed the free ramen offered in the evenings – a nice little snack before bed. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, although some guests have noted that English communication can be a bit limited at times. However, I found them to be very hardworking and attentive to guests' needs. While the hotel was quite busy during my visit, it still maintained a calm and organized atmosphere. It seems to be a popular choice for tour groups, but this didn't detract significantly from my personal experience."

"The mountains are so beautiful~ On the way there, I took the Nongfei bus. Passed through many caves After passing through one of the caves, the scene in front of me was completely covered by a layer of white snow. It’s so beautiful~ Whenever I travel independently, I always stay in the cities when I come to Japan. We stopped at Takayama and stayed here for one night. Unexpectedly, it was the most beautiful scenery. I will choose this hotel again next time I come to Gaoshan🥰 ”Hotel Part” The staff introduction at check-in was very detailed. When I go in and out, I greet you warmly when I see you. The room was very clean, no insects were seen Private rental bathhouse 1,000 yen/40 minutes, water temperature is appropriate The slope outside the hotel is a great place to pile snowballs 😆 Have fun I will consider staying for more than two nights next time I come here There is a shuttle bus to the JR station before leaving. A night of snow enriched my entire birthday trip Thank you 😍"
