The breakfast in the cafe downstairs was wonderful! They had options for different t paninis or croissant. There was a lovely smoothie and yummy soup. The coffee was delicious. It was well located near the bus and train station. All the staff were very nice. I loved it.

This a sweet little hotel in a great location, but note that it is really very small, with no lobby or lounge, limited front desk hours and breakfast in a cafe downstairs. Like a b&b, you must tell them when you’d like breakfast the next day, due to limited space. Washer/dryers on most floors. Top floor suite is modest for a “suite,” but has a lovely view of snow capped mountains.

A small boutique hotel that met all our needs. Professional and friendly staff. We booked the executive suite which was a room on its own on the 6th floor and worth the extra cost for its larger space. Enjoyed the wood tub for great soaks after lots of walking.

The room was neat and clean. The only thing is they had to toilet separated from the bath. Although they had a sink, they did not have a soap dispenser in the toilet room. So you would have to walk over to the bath area to wash your hands with soap.

All clean and comfortable, but…

This is the sort of hotel where you ask for parking and they tell you how lucky you are that there is one space left. It is 10 mins walk away and costs 1500 yen a day. And then you discover there is a public carpark 30 seconds walk away for half the price.

And you ask for a restaurant recommendation and you have ok food. And then you discover they sent you to a tourist trap that charges double what other restaurants in the area charge.

Great and comfy boutique hotel

Lovely boutique hôtel. Confortable beds, nice sitting area and beautiful big wooden bathtub. Well situated to wander around the city. Nice café downstairs. Amazing service, room was ready before so we could access earlier. We had the luggage sent by Yamoto, and it was already in the room.

Decent place near the station

Despite the photo and map we walked past the hotel twice before we realized it was behind the curtain. Once we found it everything was great. The room was comfortable and in good condition. You have to get used to having the bathroom light come on when you open the door and the toilet seat popping up. We have a traditional hinoki tub in our house so this one felt almost like plastic - but it looked good and had a great shower. The hotel provided two bottles of water and drip coffee. We heard no noise from the road and there were only two other rooms on our floor.

Amazing Boutique Hotel

This is an amazing boutique hotel. There are 12 rooms on 6 floors with reception and an excellent restaurant on the ground level. My room was quiet, clean, comfortable, and attractive/very well-designed. I opted to pay for a first-rate breakfast with the room -- the panini of the day, a salad, a mixed berry banana smoothie, and yogurt with granola. Loved it. All of the food at the restaurant was excellent. Plus they serve alcohol. The only drawback to the restaurant is that it closes at 5 pm. The staff are uniformly pleasant and hard-working. The location can't be beat - 5 minutes the the train station and within easy walking distance of most tourist sites.

Perfect modern hotel room with a perfect location!

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect. It was very close (walking distance) to the Takayama Station & the Bus Station (for Shirokawago), and also walking distance to the old town area. The room is very efficiently laid out with a hinoki-like tub and shower room with a separate toilet (washlet) room and a separate little tea/coffee area. It has an open-style closet with a clothes hanging rod and shelf for luggage. The beds were a little hard for me, but I know the Japanese/Asian guests like hard beds. I like that they had 2 different types of pillows: one soft and one harder with beads on one side. My room came with breakfast and 2 free drinks from the Hid's Cafe & Bar. The food was excellent and the cafe latte was superb!!!

A relatively small comfortable room; separate washroom and bathroom which look quite new. 1 coin laundry machine available on our floor (w 3 units). In-room amenities are great, including steam iron and iron board. Convenient location.

The hotel is almost directly across from the train and bus station making it very convenient. The staff were very kind and welcoming. The traditional soaking tub was wonderful, since the weather was cold and sometimes rainy.

Like a pod hotel- very clean- impressive bathroom. Not much room to walk in the room- typical for Japan. Very convenient location to train station.

Will stay here again in Takayama.

Charming hotel with only 12 rooms, about 5 minutes' walk from Takayama train station, 10 minutes' walk to the center of the city. I stayed on the 6th floor, beautifully decorated room and spacious. Breakfast is cooked to order by very friendly staff. Loved my entire stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at eph Takayama. Close to the train station/ bus station, quiet and quaint hotel. Laundry facilities were accessible right outside our room (VERY convenient!!). The room was nice and the bathroom was gorgeous with a wooden interior. The hotel provided a fantastic handmade breakfast. Delicious!! We would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent Hotel

This hotel seems new and if very close to the train station. There was no hotel parking but many paid parking lots nearby. The breakfast was nice and also had lunch one day which was also delicious. The staff is so helpful and kind. The room is spacious and has many nice features. The beds are comfortable and did not hear any noise from the streets or other rooms. I would recommend and stay again if in Takayama.

Very good

Excellent. Great staff. Loved the decor of the room. Perfect location. Breakfast was good but should have included coffee. I don’t think it’s right to charge extra for a coffee when we’d paid for breakfast to be included Apart from that, very good

Best located!
Near the JR Takayama and Takayama bus Center, near to many eateries.

Best room space!
We stayed on 6th floor, we had the 6th floor space to ourselves and privacy!
Accessible!
The location of the hotel is walkable to anywhere in Takayama town itself
- morning market
- old town
- shrine
Of coz get yourself a comfortable pair of walking shoes too!

Warm service rendered!
Despite its a small hotel.
The service is very meticulous, detailed and well thought!

The hotel was newly build hotel. The interior and exterior design was simple, chic yet modern.
If you are looking for a bigger space, this hotel is not for you! Especially if you are traveling with kids. It’s a very small room with twin bed, limited space to move but it’s comfortable enough to sleep. But if you are traveling by yourself or a couple without kids, this might be a good place to stay.
The hotel is very close to Takayama Station, 3 mins walk. Very close to a convenience store, you won’t feel hungry at night!
They offer complimentary breakfast, which is good! :)
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Takayama.
