We stayed at Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan for a very special occasion, and I cannot overstate how exceptional the entire team was.

From the earliest planning stages through the night of our stay, every member of the staff, especially Mr. Kawamura from the reservation office, was deeply involved, genuinely excited, and incredibly thoughtful in helping coordinate my marriage proposal. They kept everything a complete secret from my partner (it was a surprise proposal), worked discreetly behind the scenes, and paid close attention to even the smallest details so the moment felt natural, personal, and entirely “us.”

What stood out most was how invested the staff were - this did not feel like a standard celebration package or a routine request. The team treated it as something truly special, tailoring the experience to us with warmth, care, and sincere enthusiasm. Their coordination, timing, and sensitivity were flawless, and they made the entire experience feel bespoke rather than scripted.

Beyond the proposal itself, the ryokan is beautiful, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the kaiseki dinner was outstanding. Every interaction reflected genuine hospitality and pride in what they do.

This is a place where people truly care. We will remember this stay, and the kindness of the staff, for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan highly enough.

DO NOT book this Hotel

It’s a scam, pictures really differ from reality. They try to charge extra for things you didn’t order. It smelled terrible. DO NOT STAY AT ANY PRICE. I was charged more than a Four Seasons in Tokyo. The room smelled rotten eggs and at night it smelled the hotel kitchen in your room. I believe Ryokans is a tourist trap to avoid at all costs, specially this one. English is barely spoken so communication is really hard. The different parties that we were checking out at the same time were really glad that our stay there was coming to an end.

The whole experience from the room to the food and onsen gave me a really good insight in to Japanese culture. Property is very central, close to old town and restaurants.

Staff is very attentive to every detail. From pick up at the station to checkin, dinner and breakfast and throughout the stay. Service is very personalized and knows the needs of each guest. They have a very nice women’s onsen however need to go outside across the street. Fully equipped amenities in the public baths. Food was excellent with the best ingredients all from local sources. We stayed 3 nights but only had one dinner and wished we had for an extra meal. Breakfast was large in portions with lots of detail and thoughtfulness. Delicious and nutritious!! Traditional Japanese rooms were spacious and had comfortable tatamis. Definitely recommended for a nice relaxing time in Takayama!!

We didn't love all of the food options, but they were great to try, and we loved the experience. Next night, we are at their yummy sushi restaurant. The beds were traditional but extra fluffy. The baths were one of my favorite places of my trip. So beautiful and lots of them. The soaps etc they offer are really worth trying--they smell beautiful and left my skin so soft.

This was a special anniversary trip for me and my wife and we wanted to select a hotel with an in room onsen so that we could onsen together.

So we decided to splurge on this hotel and booked the following room: Japanese Style Semi Open Air Bath

The pictures made it look like there is an onsen in the room so that’s why we booked this place which was 6 times more expensive than a nearby equivalent hotel.

However the first room we were offered when we checked in clearly was a bath tub not an onsen.

After showing the check in person the pictures on the web site, we were then offered a second room which had a bath which was smaller version of what was in the booking page picture but again not an onsen, only regular water and was told that it only looked like an onsen for decorative purposes.

We felt pretty deceived by the booking pictures as it made it look like there was an onsen in the room and this is not uncommon in Japan.

This really ruined our anniversary, and put a damper on our stay in Takayama.

So in summary beware if you want a private onsen in your room this place does not offer it.

First time at a traditional ryokan

It was our first experience at a traditional ryokan so we didn’t know what to expect. The staff was extremely nice and helpful and guided us through the entire experience. Surprisingly the food was amazing even though it was japanese style dinner which we are not familiar with- they considered all of our food preferences and limitations. The location is very good- 10 minutes walk from the station and 2 minutes walk from the old town. In the rooms is a set of traditional kimonos which you can dress and take a walk outside the hotel with. The only downsides i can think of was the really uncomfortable futon to sleep on at night and the relatively expensive price for a 1 night stay.

We stayed in one of the new rooms - large living room, large bedroom and large bathroom - all were bright, light, and well furnished. The people couldn't be more helpful, the spa was perfect, had a massage and that was lovely - though not a deep tissue massage as I'm used to but more relaxing and worth having as well. The dining rooms we were in - all private but each one was different - were lovely, the food was good, but I say that with a caveat - we had already been to several Ryokans and had similar types of meals so the element of surprise was missing for us. But the food was well prepared and beautifully served.

Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan is an incredibly beautiful ryokan with an attentive and attractive staff. Upon finishing introductions, we were introduced to Tomomi, who was assigned to be our personal hostess and to see to all our needs the whole time we were there. She was an absolute delight, fulfilling any and all tasks with indescribable grace, ease and efficiency, dressed in a beautiful kimono dress each day. Our room was a traditionally decorated Japanese space which accommodated the four of us on futon when we needed them and on low tables and chairs the rest of the time. Lovely! A deep stone private onsen was attached to our room as was a European bathing facility; We had our choice and enjoyed both. On our first day we had a kaiseki dinner, which was very delicious and beautifully presented, and a sushi dinner the next day, which was as good as could be had anywhere in Japan! Having travelled over much of Japan, we agreed that this experience was unequalled, it was superb!

The food - a decadent and artful Japanese kaiseke meal, a steak dinner and a sushi course - was delicious and plentiful. But the best part about this ryokan is the staff.

This hotel offered a truly amazing experience where we felt as if we were the only guests staying at this hotel. Our attendant (each room receives one) was more than accommodating, offering us tea and Japanese snacks upon arrival followed by our kimono fitting. Our elaborate dinner and breakfast (each included with our reservation) was some of the best food we'd had yet in Japan. The onsen and spa services added to our relaxing trip in between visiting Kyoto and Tokyo. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Traditional & Lovely

My husband and I spent two nights at this lovely ryokan in Takayama and we had an amazing experience! I called ahead to let them know about my shellfish allergy and they were very accommodating with my meals. They also arranged a car to pick us up from the train station upon our arrival to the city and we had a mini welcome party once we got to the hotel. Yuki was assigned as our point person and her English was very good! She was a lifesaver and also very patient with us as she described all of our different food options and guided us on Japanese cultural traditions. For the most part we took this time to relax so we spent a lot of time at the hotel. In the afternoons they would bring us tea, and while we were at dinner they would make our traditional Japanese style beds, which by the way are way more comfier than I expected them to be, and even though it was cold outside, the room temperature was always very nice and the beds very warm. They also have different onsens that you can visit, including one that's mixed, and they provide you with everything you need to make your stay as comfortable and stress free as possible.

All in all, we highly recommend this place and we would go back in a heartbeat!

Nice but expensive ryokan experience in a hotel

Hotel is very nice overall. Service is excellent. It's not a real traditional type of ryokan (didn't seem like the type where the imperial family would have stayed), so for a hotel, it's a bit dated feeling. However, it has almost all the aspects of a traditional high end ryokan. Onsen in the hotel itself (main hotel) is not that big, but you can also use the one across the street at their sister property. Room rate was on the high side compared with other high end ryokan in Japan.

We got a junior suite and apart from the two single beds could have been made into one large bed, this establishment is highly recommended. Superior interiors, bekkan was just across the street from honjin and can use both facilities. Free pick up shuttle to and fro takayama station and hotel. I'm used to speed since I'm from the city, and I only complain that the intro when we got our rooms just took a little too long since right after it, we only had 5 mins to go down to lobby to catch the shuttle back out to JR takayama.

Härligt hotell med onsen, vällagad mat som serveras i separata rum. Både frukost och middag i japansk stil. Går att få annan frukost. Rummet stort och härligt att vara i. Takayama med alla små butiker, gamla delen, tempel, ergen runt om och floden som rinner igenom var en fin upplevelse.

Eine sehr gelungene Einführung in ein japanisches Ryokan mit hervorragender Küche, besonders beim Kaiseki Menu. Entspannung stellte sich bei der gekonnten Massage sofort ein. Das Onsen und die Sauna waren sauber und eher funktionell-schlicht ausgestattet.

服務極好，有一天要趕行程，把東西忘在餐廳，飯店人員還特地將東西拿到客運站給我們。

Nos hospedamos en la habitación superior estilo japonés, y verdaderamente valió la pena. La habitación es preciosa, espaciosa y cómoda. El desayuno, si lo pides tradicional (que hay varias opciones) también merece mucho la pena). El baño también es increíble. En conclusión, fue una experiencia sumamente agradable

정말 최고에요
가족 4명 여행으로 다녀온 다카야마 여행
1박 140만원 아깝지 않을 정도로 훌륭했었다.
입구에서 부터 입장과 동시에 북을치고
프론트 모든 직원의 환대 서비스와 깨끗하고 깔끔한 분위기의 호텔 프론트가 반겨줍니다.
객실로 안내했던 젊은 남성직원의 친절하고 환한 미소는
잊지못할 최고의 직원들 끝내주는온천과 저녁 가이세키 는 최고입니다.
