Hot Springs Hotels in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is within walking distance of both the JR station and the bus terminal, and is very close to Kokubunji and the famous Maruaki. The exterior is stylish and extremely clean. Complimentary cosmetics are available in the lobby, along with a coffee machine to make your own coffee. The rooms are surprisingly large, which is rare for Japanese hotels. There is an onsen on the upper floor; I didn't try it, but I heard it's just average. Breakfast is quite substantial, featuring many local specialties, and several of the regional rice dishes were delicious. I highly recommend booking a room with breakfast included, as eating out for breakfast in Japan is not cheap at all. If the hotel breakfast is good, paying a little extra to enjoy a wide variety of delicious food is actually a great value. There is a free late-night snack service, though the front desk doesn't mention it at check-in—you have to discover it yourself. However, the flavors weren't quite to my taste: the sweet red bean soup was overwhelmingly sweet, while the rice in broth was much too salty.

It’s a very nice place, 3mins walk from Nohi bus station. Very aesthetic Japanese layout, each room are themed with different Japanese cultures. The staffs are also very friendly and helpful and can’t complaint about the level of service.

We arrived by bus and walked to the hotel in 10 minutes. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station. In the afternoon, they offer a welcome drink and dessert. The room is comfortable, but we couldn't cast our phone screen to the TV or connect a cable, which is a big drawback. We went to the private onsen: you can wash there, the hairdryer is better, and they gave us lotions and drinks (water) as a gift. But it was only for 45 minutes.

Lovely Ryokan, close to the busy stop. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Spacious room and comfortable futon. The onsen baths are lovely, on the riverside for a great view of the valley, you can ”reserve” four of them for private use for a bit of time, just locking the door. Dinner was superb

The hotel's location is unbeatable, just a few minutes from the Nohi Bus Terminal. It was super convenient for both our arrival and our trip to Kamikochi the next day. The old town is also within easy walking distance, making for a very relaxing stroll. The onsen on the top floor is typical of Dormy Inn – clean and refined. The hotel lobby also has a unique charm. Our child had a wonderful two-day, one-night stay, and we'll definitely be back, hoping to stay longer next time to slowly explore the quiet town of Takayama.

Big room with separate bedroom and living areas and private bath in room. Lots of choices of bath - public/private, indoor/outdoor options. Food is excellent. The Hida miso is very good. You can buy it to bring home as well. Service staff can speak English. Free Ramen at 10pm.. ice cream, tea/coffee in lounge.

Highly recommend this conveniently located ♨️ onsen hotel in Takayama: Tokyu Stay Hida-Takayama Musubi no Yu. Tokyu Stay Hida-Takayama Musubi no Yu is one of the most popular hotels right next to Takayama Station. After browsing online, we picked it mainly for its prime location, and it definitely didn't disappoint—you can see the hotel the moment you exit the station. Super convenient! The Nohi Bus Terminal is also right by the station, making getting around completely hassle-free! There were three of us, so the room felt a bit compact, with an extra bed set up by the bay window. You could see the trains at Takayama Station right outside the window. My older son, who has loved trains and public transit since he was little, was thrilled and said he could fall asleep watching the trains! The room comes with an in-unit washer-dryer combo (an absolute lifesaver—we washed and dried all our dirty laundry from the past few days). There’s also a microwave and an induction cooktop; you just need to ask the front desk if you need cooking pots. We originally planned to cook our own Hida beef, but ended up eating out for every meal. Instead, we used it to boil some corn 🌽 we bought at the Miyagawa Morning Market, and it was delicious! ♨️ Hot Spring Facilities - 2nd Floor: Complimentary public onsen (separated by gender, each with one indoor and one outdoor bath). - 9th Floor: Complimentary foot bath and private onsen available for rent (JPY 2,750 for 45 minutes; we didn't try this, so can't comment). Note that the male and female public baths swap daily. My daughter and I went back the second day assuming it was the same layout, only to find completely different facilities inside. We felt so confused and terrified that we had accidentally walked into the men's bath! After stepping out, we saw the sign explaining that the baths swap every day at 1:00 AM! [giggle] Also, the hair dryers provided are ReFa—I'm totally sold on them now, felt even better than Dyson! Overall, it was a wonderful stay. Takayama is quite compact, so it's not far to walk to Sanmachi Suji or the Miyagawa Morning Market. Strolling over in the evening when the sun goes down is just lovely!

Traveling with family, we booked three rooms and experienced two different room types. All the rooms were spacious and clean. The Japanese-style room had a charmingly small door. The mountain-view private onsen room had a translucent door, and the large window next to the private onsen had no curtains, which felt like a lack of privacy. Besides the onsen, the hotel also offers billiards, table tennis, and karaoke. The staff were all very enthusiastic, and breakfast was quite refined. There's a free shuttle bus to and from the station during the day. Overall, it was a pretty good stay.

The assigned room was not the one I booked. Instead of East Wing with a mountain view, I got assigned to South Wing, not sure if it is a mountain view but definitely not what I expected (I will attach a photo). But generally, I still had a fantastic experience there. The location is great for me because it is near Shinhotaka Ropeway. The open air onsen was beautiful, I liked it a lot, and went every night. The food was fantastic too! I am not well versed with Japanese food culture, but basically it was the traditional course meal (only dinner) you probably will have in a decent Japanese restaurant. I am a vegetarian, the hotel is prepared for my diet every breakfast and dinner. I must say I am really amazed with their food culture and knife skill. Their front desk was helpful with my needs too like a nail cutter, plaster etc.

Amazing experience here. They have yukata for free rental so you can wear it in the hotel and when you go for your meals at dinner and breakfast. Full Japanese meal experience with multiple courses. They have a onsen for men and for women, but they also have 2 private ones for those who prefer to have more privacy and perfect for couples.
