Reviews and Ratings
The ryokan is nestled in the mountains above Takayama, offering a serene escape amidst nature. The rooms boast traditional ryokan style with private open-air baths, providing a unique and relaxing experience. The service was excellent, ensuring a pleasant stay. However, the dining options were limited to Colombian coffee, and some might find the price not the best value for money.
Staying at this traditional ryokan-style hotel with private open-air baths was a true delight. The service was top-notch, and the location in the mountains above Takayama was absolutely breathtaking. The dining experience with homemade biscuits was a lovely touch, but there were some minor facility issues that affected the overall experience.
