Staying at this ryokan was like stepping into a traditional Japanese living room with a cozy fireplace. The setting was beautiful, inside a forest by a clear stream, and convenient with free shuttles to Takayama. The dining experience was exceptional, although the room size was a bit small for three people, and the breakfast timing was early.

The location couldn't be more beautiful, especially in the winter. Nestled by a rushing mountain stream in a forest, it's like being in a postcard.

The hotel had amazing facilities, including a spacious and luxurious onsen. However, the lack of 24-hour dining service was a drawback.

My stay at the ryokan was a unique experience. The rooms, though reminiscent of a deceased estate, were spacious and offered a breathtaking view of the river. The service was friendly yet language barrier was noticeable. The location, nestled in the forest near Takayama, was stunning, and the dining options were pleasing. Facilities were adequate, but some aspects could be improved for a more comfortable stay.
