Every aspect of this accommodation was impressive. The facade is very modern ad was reflected in the dining area, lobby, accommodation floors and the rooms themselves. Nature abounds in the surrounds of this picturesque town. Within walking distance to Takachiho Jinja and the Kagura performance. Best to drive to the gorge from here.

Apart from the gorge and Kagura, not much else in the town itself, however it was quaint. Breakfast staff were a little relaxed at times as they casually chatting amongst themselves in front of guests (not really to be expected in Japan)

Stylish room with a terrace - an extremely fair price for a stay of 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Egg shaped bath tub (better than the first photo in the booking site) with upscale amenities in the bathroom. It’s almost like a spa experience. Breakfast was amazing with proper coffee machine (even for ice coffee), really good toast (expensive toaster) and good selection. Front desk extremely helpful - recommended us to go for a local performance in the evening - we were offered seating cushions to bring with us to the performance. They also recommended dinner place and the beef was amazing.

Nothing My parents stayed in the regular double room - it was kind of small but still with good amenities eg drip coffee.

Frontdesk staff were super helpful and nice, they went the extra mile to make sure that we had a good experience, from providing cushions and small chairs for us to watch the Kaguraden performance, to making special restaurant reservations for us. They were extremely friendly and accommodating, and made our experience very nice. The hotel is also very beautiful and clean, and is at a very good location just minutes' walk from the shrine.

The rooms were a little bit small, it was not easy to have large luggages in the room. We travelled as a group and we had difficulty gathering in a room because of limited space. The breakfast was decent but the spread wasn't much (no fresh fruits only canned fruit) there could have been more vegetarian/vegan options available.

It is a newer hotel in the small town near Takachiho Gorge. Because of the central location, we were able to go to Kunimigaoka Viewing Platform for sunrise in the early morning. It is only 5 mins drive from Takachiho Gorge. We arrived at the Gorge before most visitor and enjoyed the scenery. Breakfast is tasty with food variety.

It is a small town. Not many places for dinner. We tried to book the dinner with hotel; but they are fully booked. The hotel receptionist tried to find a place for us. He called a few places; finally find one that is available. There is a restaurant close to the hotel serves good steak; but it was closed when we were there.

location was close to Takachiho Gorge (5 min drive) and the Takachiho Shrine (5 min walk/1 min drive). ideal for staying after exploring Takachiho Gorge area. new, clean and modern hotel. well decorated lobby and rooms. all rooms were reasonable distance from elevator. plenty of free parking available for guests. right on the main street. had shabu-shabu for dinner, which was good quality. breakfast was in same restaurant, fair selection. staff were polite and clear in communication.

small menu selection for dinner. pricey dinner. one of our rooms had a weird bathroom set up. shower/bathtub was in bathroom, but the basin/sink was outside in the hotel room itself. So when showering, you'd have to bring your clothes into the bathroom itself - however as the showered was separate to the bathtub, every time the shower was turned on, water sprayed the entire bathroom. This meant your clothes would get wet, as you could not hide them from the shower. This did not make sense. Our other room had a normal bathroom.

Very close to the gorge, big room, services are on point. It is worth to drive at sunrise (@5am) to the nearby viewpoint unkai (sea of clouds) at Kunimigaoka. Traditional dancing night show at Takachiho shrine was also great. Hotel provides location benefits that helps us in booking the early boat to Takachiho gorge (@ 8am the carpark is already full at the gorge so make sure to be there very early / boat tickets sold out by 9am). We would not have accomplished all these hard locations time-wise if we didn't choose to stay at this hotel which is central to all key tourist attractions.

Nothing

The staff was fantastic -- the front desk lady spoke good English and was obviously used to dealing with international travellers. She gave helpful suggestions and even made bookings for our dinner at a lovely local restaurant. We asked for extra pillows and these were quickly brought to us. Thank you for a warm welcome to Takachiho!

The rooms were a little on the small side but this is not uncommon in Japan.

Beautifully furnished room with big amount of space available. Breakfast buffet was simple yet delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff who helped us take family photos in the lobby. Within walking distance to Takachiho Gorge so it’s a plus since parking lots are not in abundance at the gorge.

Not much eating choices nearby as most shops are closed by 5pm.

Very good. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated large room and bath tub. Right on the Main Street for food and shopping. The staff even helped recommend where to eat. Walls are so thin, you can hear a lot of other guest noise, we were woke at 7:20 by another guest on speaker phone. Bring earplugs!

We appreciated everything about this hotel - from the sleek contemporary decor to the comfortable rooms to the superb on-site restaurant. The hotel was so gorgeous architecturally, it was like staying in an art museum designed by a famed architect. The on-site restaurant served one of the best meals we had on our trip - a light, clean hotpot of vegetables and meat, and it was super value-for-money. The breakfast buffet was very good too. Very nice and quiet, and a five-minute drive to Takachiho Gorge. We were unable to book a large room for three people and booked two rooms instead, and the hotel gave us rooms side by side. Very helpful.

Nothing.
