Takayama Ouan

This hotel is centrally located, just next to the Mercure. You leave your shoes in a locker and walk along the common areas barefooted or wearing socks. It's quite a hassle putting on shoes in the reception area to leave the hotel. The drawback of this system is that some guests remove the shoe cabinet keys when they check out. There's a pair of sandals in the room which you wear when you go to the toilet. This is different from other hotels in Japan where you can wear the sandals around the hotel. The onsen area is certainly superior. Photo is the view from my room.

The location of the hotel is excellent, only 5 mins walk from JR station. The hotel is embraced with Japanese traditional culture, when you walk inside the entire hotel, no shoes are allowed. The check in and checkout process are done by machine. It is not enough human-touched. The size of the room is okay and the view is very good.

Very clean, with free late night snack, satisfying breakfast

Too crowded. I had high expectations after reading great reviews, but it was very crowded and waiting for elevators was painful. Room condition was not great, private onsen has very long que to use.

Clean hotel with nice Japanese style rooms. Bath facilities are well maintained

Good stay for 2 nights. Short walk from train station. Staff and room were very good. The pillow was poor! But absolutely adequate hotel. Great breakfast too.

Room was pretty spacious by Japanese standards. I enjoyed that they offered three private onsens that you could use at no additional cost with no reservation required. Free ice cream is available after your bath. There are hotels closer to JR Takayama Station but it’s still a reasonable walking distance.

Good location Lovely and helpful staffs Free onsen ramen coffee Super cozy Worth the money

Wow 🤩 so impressed with hotel ryokan decoration style: yukata, private&public onzen, tatami. Couldn’t ask for more. I will definitely bring my kids with me next time. Love 💕 💕
