In the centre of Takayama, located within a short distance of Takayama Station and Yoshijima Heritage House, Daihachi offers free WiFi, air conditioning and household amenities such as a microwave and...

The room was absolutely beautiful. We wanted a home feel for a few nights in the middle of a busy 3 week tour of Japan, just to relax and cook ourselves at home, and this was perfect. Walking distance to the old town, retro museums and train station, it was quiet and absolute bliss and the apartment itself was high end, with all fittings and furnishings absolute faultless. Would return and would highly recommend.

Situated in Takayama in the Gifu region with Fuji Folk Museum and Yoshijima Heritage House nearby, KAYA - Travel Easy, Explore Freely in Hida Tayakama! features accommodation with access to a sauna.

To be honest, I was swayed by the photos; I expected to have that beautiful bathtub. Although my room was lovely, it didn't have one. As for the location, it was excellent—very close to the train station, so I could arrive and leave quickly and without any issues.

Just a 5-minute walk from JR Takayama Train Station, Minshuku Kuwataniya offers cosy Western- and Japanese-style rooms with a flat-screen TV.

Convenient location; nearby many restaurants, just a few minutes walk away from JR/Nohi Bus station, coin laundry, convenience stores, Old Town and Markets. Traditional experience, after walking around all day a soak in the onsen was perfect!! Free wifi was easy to connect to and had good speed. Our room was tidied daily and amenities were restocked. Host waited at the door to see us off after we checked out on the last day

    Beautifully designed and very aesthetic. Lovely comfortable room. Great location: quiet but still impressively close to where you would want to be in Hida Takayama. Super easy check in.

    Great location on the Main Street. We came when there was a street festival on and the atmosphere was excellent. The host we met spoke native English which was very helpful. Easy check in and could leave bags when we checked out to explore Takayama which is a beautiful place

    Everything at the property was great- it’s a quaint home stay - 6 rooms with 6 onsens- how awesome is that! Immaculately clean and host catered to special dietary restrictions- A* for effort. The location is quiet countryside for self reflection.

    Very cosy, homely guesthouse. The bed were super comfy and had a nice communal kitchen space. The hosts were super helpful and provide a free daily shuttle to the city centre. I also left my laptop charger and they were super helpful in getting it delivered to my next hotel. Would definitely stay here again.

    The guesthouse is located up above the city center, close to everything. I believe there are 2 houses and I wasn’t in the main one but it was all clean, had 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets, all the utilities, and bonus there is a cute garden at the back where you’re allowed to smoke (this is uncommon for japanese houses). The host was really nice, spoke a good english and show me on a map everything that could be seen near the city center. I had a great time in Takayama, it’s a really beautiful place!
