Absolutely stunning private onsen, really magical and beautiful. The food was outstanding and there was so much of it.

The inn is slightly too in from the main road but still very convenient and near the hirayu bus terminal.

The inn is not crowded. We manage to try out all the private bath without having to reserve or book. Some private baths are tad small for more than 1 person to get in but the view to the nature is good. The inn is also very clean and dont feel run down or old at all. Things are relatively new . The food is also good and serve a ridiculous big portion of meat hida beef.

Nothing, only that it is a bit difficult to walk on the Icing road from bus stop to Ryokan.

The private Onsen with nature(outdoor). And the dinner as well as staff.

The indoor onsens were SUPER hot. If I’m not mistaken, we were told that the onsen temperature ranges from 74-98(??) Celsius My husband and I went to the indoor gender segregated onsen on the first night and felt very ill immediately after with high fever and chills/rigors. It was a pity because the outdoor private onsens looked so cozy but we didn’t get to enjoy it :( The outdoor public onsens were of a more comfortable temperature and the water felt really smooth on the skin Luckily our heat injury resolved after a day of paracetamol and hydration The futons were pretty thin too so we had some trouble sleeping, but it’s also probably because we were running 40 degree fevers ahaha so everything was uncomfortable

Beautiful and cozy ryokan at Hirayu Onsen, about a 45 min drive from Takayama. The kaiseki dinner was AMAZING. They really loaded us up with good quality, buttery hida Beef grilled over a charcoal irori. We were absolutely stuffed by the end of the dinner - a lovingly prepared multi course meal with grilled veggies and beef, soba noodles, tempura, sashimi, dessert. It’s a very local place for many Japanese tourists - most of the signs, menus were all in Japanese so we had some trouble with translation. Staff were lovely and helpful!

The Ryokan was superb. The hot springs were great, the food was excellent and the portions were enormous. The service was wonderful and friendly.

- There’s no private shower room inside the room, so if you want to take a shower, you need to go the public bath on the first floor only - No elevator from parking floor to the lobby. I went there with a large luggage so i need to carried it up the stairs with a heavy weight.

The staffs are so friendly. I got a warm welcome like I stay with Japanese family. They did every things such as receptionist at a lobby, serving the foods, making the bed. There’s not much people around so you can feel peacefully and pretty private. - Dinner and breakfast was so good and a lot of foods came including hida beef. There are 3 private onsen rooms, men and women public bathroom with indoor and outdoor onsen - Good location and have private parking

I have no complaints, though my partner did find the traditional futon bedding to be a bit hard for her liking.

The staff was very helpful and patient. The dinner was an amazing experience. The private onsens were a lovely option for relaxing. Looking forward to returning here in the future.

The private onsen could be advertised better and was a little dark/basic. The room was functional, a decent Japanese Style room, but not extraordinary. No shower in room, futon was a little thin - not a negative for us, just good to know.

Amazing breakfast and dinner that catered for our vegetarian needs. Very nice onsen with high quality water from different sources. The friendliness of the staff is exceptional.

Minor quibble - the futon was a bit thin and the pillow really hard and uncomfortable - usually I enjoy sleeping on a futon

Quiet, relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the onsens including the private outdoor ones that couples could use. Food was wonderful, some of the best we’ve had on our trip, with friendly service

It was just as advertised. The town is a bit remote, but expected. Google maps had an incorrect picture of the ryokan and made it slightly confusing when we checked in.

An excellent place to stay. Food was excellent and facilities were great. The private onsens was the main reason we decided to stay here. They had a small, medium and large private onsens on top of the public baths that were available. Very easy to access and the perfect getaway for myself and the wifey!

For non japanese hôtel us not easy to navigate, would be nice to make an excursion during check in.

City is located in mountains, there is also nice waterfall that is nice to visit. In ryokan there are 3 private bath+public separeted ones. The dinner and breakfast was awesome. Must to try!
