位置非常好,就在高山站幾分鐘路程。服務非常好,有服務員介紹酒店的各項設施。Check-in時可以揀選和服,免費租借。另外亦有提供香薰精油,氣味很好。房間夠大,榻榻米睡得也挺舒服。非常推薦!
The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from Takayama station. The service is very good, with staff introducing the hotel’s various facilities. During check-in, you can choose a kimono for free rental. They also provide oils, which smell great. The room is spacious, and the tatami mats are quite comfortable to sleep on. Highly recommended!
There are several great things about this ryokan
1) Best of all is the hida beef kaiseki dinner - its truly hida beef (they displayed certifications and it taste different from normal beef) in great quantity per person - which also in turn makes the ryokan cost very economical
2) Location is easily accessible by both public transport and if you are driving they have ample parking space
3) A lot of free amenities - free snack bar, free non-alcoholic drink bar, free sake to drink while soaking in the onsen at 7-9pm, private outdoor baths are free to use (first come first serve, reservation is not needed), free kids toys and board games to borrow (this last one i have never seen before in all the 10+ ryokan I have stayed in)
But it also comes with some downsides that we have not encountered before in previous ryokan stays
1) slimy mold floors in some of the outdoor baths
2) multiple floating things in the outdoor baths - not too sure which one is minerals or dead insects (could be because we came in late spring/early summer
3) strong pee stench in the toilet in our room (to be fair we also did not provide feedback due to language barrier and the fact the service staff are all very sweet)
This is also the first onsen town we have been in where the damages from covid was very obvious - along the street there were multiple abandoned hotel buildings that to us scream “bankruptcy”. So perhaps with that context, a few of these downsides are understandable
Overall not a bad stay but would only recommend to less fussy travellers
