Fairfield by Marriott Gifu Takayama Shokawa

This is a really great small hotel - some might even call it luxurious. Some people would probably say that it's in the middle of nowhere, and if you're getting around via train or bus then that is probably true. However if you are hiring a car then it's quite central to lots of spots such as Shirakawa Go and Takayama, to name just a couple. We found it very convenient as we'd hired a car. In fact had we realised just how convenient it was we'd have stayed longer than the 4 nights. It's conveniently located very near to the motorway entry exit point from where you can easily travel to multiple destinations easily and quickly. Obviously toll charges will be incurred but we found them very reasonable - in fact many things we found very reasonably priced during our travels - much cheaper than expected. If you don't want to use the motorways the regular roads are excellent, not crowded at all and easy to navigate - just takes a little longer. In short this hotel is more suited to those travelling independently by car. The room was excellent [king room with king bed] and well appointed - somewhat bigger than we experienced most of our trip - clean, quiet and comfortable. Only 2 very minor complaints, being no bath and only Japanese TV to choose from on the big wall mounted screen. We tried several nearby restaurants, all very good, though one in particular was excellent - the small Japanese one hidden in behind the Onsen [not inside] run by a super friendly and helpful couple. What fun we had conversing via Google Translate while sampling their tasty sashimi and selection of various Sake - don't miss it! On our 1st night there we were picked up by another small restaurant proprietor also for a delicious multi set course meal. The staff were very friendly and very helpful with trip planning and details of potential day trips - one young man in particular whose na.

there was nothing not to like about this hotel

+ Modern clean rooms with a view of the neighboring rice fields + Really comfortable beds & sofa + Convenient access to Shirakawago village + Attentive staff that speak excellent English + There’s no food service but there’s a marketplace that sells all sorts of drinks & instant food + Staff even helped us warm up our pizza with the hotel pantry + Amazing lobby facing the rice fields + Neighboring rest stop has onsen, souvenir shops, restaurants + Free Parking available

- Entrance for cars was abit of a weird turn since it was literally right next to a traffic light

Everything was perfect! We did a road trip through Central Japan and the Fairfield Hotels offered us everything we needed and even more! The Fairfield here in Takayama was one of our favourites!! + rooms are spacious, well designed and equipped. We loved the bed and, the cleanness of the rooms a lot! + Location perfect to visit Kanazawa, Takayama, Hida and Kamikochi + staff was so lovely and helpful + Located next to a ricefield + free coffee and tea

Not much. Pillows were a bit high for me and would be better with an area for luggage bags in the room.

An excellent hotel - spacious room with amenities, beautifully designed, extra-confortable beds, great shower. Most helpful staff. One of the best hotels we've stayed in recently.
