Clean, staff super nice, this is a small town so do not expect they would speak English but they try really hard to explain themselves using the translator and super nice and helping in everything they can

The beds don't have a night light and the location is a little far, the bus stop is a 20 min walking, but this is not something they can change, its just so other people are ready to leave early since you'll have to walk to the station

The place is really good, and the onsen is very nice, The staff is very nice and helpful, There is not a close bus station but they provide shuttle to takayama station, We really enjoyed our stay!

No complaints 👌

this is basic accommodation inside an onsen. there is even a free shuttle from the station

checking out early in the morning might be a bit complicated. there is nothing of interest around the location besides the onsen itself.

Superb onsen for relaxing. Nice large dormitory for sleep.

Location is a bit far from the city center

The lady with short hair an glasses was exceptionally nice

We were in Takayama for the spring matsuri. We were happy to be able to check in early and they kept our luggage behind the counter until we returned later in the evening. There was complimentary toast and coffee available in the morning, which was a welcome surprise. There are several common areas with tables and chairs on the main floor and downstairs outside the onsen. The onsen has several pools with labelled temperatures.

The hostel is 4km from the train & bus station and was difficult to get to by public transit. We learned after we arrived that the hostel provides a scheduled free shuttle bus to/from the JR station, which definitely made our stay comfortable. The property is an onsen which has set aside some large rooms for dorms. The main dorms are rows of mattresses on the floor. Showers are ¥300 (towels are extra) which includes access to the onsen and a tall locker, but they are in the basement, one floor below the dorms. Check in was confusing for people who spoke both English and Japanese, as they want you to first put your shoes in a locker on the main floor and then hand in the key to the front desk, where you then receive the key to a shower locker. But if you are going out again, you don't want to lock up your shoes!

The onsen are amazing.

The beds had no sheet.

There was no breakfast there but that wasn`t a problem.

We needed to leave the hotel early in the morning but the doors were shut and there wasn`t a person at the front desk. That was the main prolem.

Helpful staff. There is a bar.

Paying extra for showers, lack of curtains in dorm room, restaurant food wasn’t very good. Far from train station

affordable, staff was lovely 😊 very helpful and friendly

Had to pay for showers and a towel, showers are just right in the onsen so no privacy, I wouldn’t complain if i didn’t have to pay to take a communal shower, towel also cost 300 yen?? the room looks like they just took an old office room and put a bunch of beds in it. I came back at 23:15 and the place was already locked, luckily a staff member leaving let me in. No privacy, when you leave the room you’re just in the reception with a bunch of people going to use the onsen. Also you have to lock up your shoes and give them the key after? Yes it’s cheap but with the add on stuff and bus fare it’s honestly more worth your money to stay in a hostel or hotel in the actual town. Couldn’t even use the onsen because i have tattoos lol
