Washington Plaza Hotels in Takayama

Location: the hotel is located right opposite the train station. When you arrive at the train station, just cross the road and turn right. Right next to the train station is the bus center so it is convenient for those who are taking a day trip to shirakawago and kanazawa like myself. Facilities: there is a laundromat with only 2 machines for washing and drying on the 2nd floor. The machines only accept 100yen coins and you can exchange at the reception. There is also a sauna on the same floor. There is no weighing scale available. Room: unfortunately, at the end of May 2025, the hotel was refurbishing their air conditioning system so there was no air conditioning in the room and it was a bit hot at times. Other than that, the room and toilet were quite clean. Water pressure was good. Water temperature was slightly inconsistent but acceptable. Toilet had a faint smell but it wasn’t too bad. I suspect it was the toilet or the shower curtain. Staff: wonderful service from the hotel staff. They understand and can speak english. Overall: highly recommended.
