We stayed here in Dec. 09. This minshuku is quite near train station, just 10 minutes walk with 2 large baggage. Ms Takagaki (the owner) is very kind and helpful. By the way, as Japanese tradition, you have to take off shoes before entering the minshuku. There are foot lockers for each room, though. We ordered dinner from the minshuku.... more

We spent a night at this minshuku. It was just opposite Hotel Hana. Rooms were clean and the over all area was very homely. I like it. Price was very reasonable given the clean and modern condition of the place. Bicycles rental are free too. It is well worth a stay at this place. If you havnt been to shirakawago... more

We stayed here for two nights and loved it. Its just a short walk from the station and also all the sights. Takayama isn't that big and so everywhere can be reached by foot. The room was clean and and a good size and we had a view of the temple across the road. I didn't expect the flat screen... more

My family and I stayed at Minshuku Kuwataniya. We had 12 adults and one child in our group. The food and accommodations were excellent! The staff were helpful when we needed assistance. The location is convenient and is within easy walking distance of the train station and most of the other attractions in Takayama. Value is excellent! Takayama is a... more

We stayed at that Minshuku for 2 days with our little baby of 20 months. It's a couple of minutes walk from the JR train station (you don't need a cab or bus) and very well located (next to the main street and 10 minutes walk to the historical town). The rooms were fairly big and could fit all 3... more

I stayed in this ryokan on my own for 2 days in June 2008. [Location] A short 6-minute walk from JR Takayama Station. Central Takayama isn't big and are mostly flat. You can reach most of its attraction within 20 minutes of walk. They also provide free bicycle rental which to me is quite convenient in this small town. [Room]... more

Location excellent, opposite temple, handy to all sightseeing & transports. Our reception was not overly welcoming. Traditional- so remove shoes. Had to lug our bags up two flights of stairs, phew. Single comfortable beds. Clean room is good size for Japan, but felt a little dated in decor. Euro floral bedlinen didn't suit overall Japanese style of room. Ensuite is... more
