Friendly owners, clean and the natural spring bath was the best! After a long day of walking around it was the perfect thing. Room was spacious and comfortable, staff even made sure to turn the heat on before I got back.

Nice, quiet Ryokan

My girlfriend and I stayed in Takayama for 3 nights, and we really enjoyed this place.

The owners are a quiet but friendly Japanese couple who don't speak a ton of English, but it wasn't really a problem at all.

The location is nice, just on the fringes of the old city, about a 5 min bike ride or 15 min walk to the main center of town. They have tons of bikes for guests to use, and it's a really beautiful little town to bike through.

The onsen was a nice bonus, and it was always kept very clean. Just note that they are gender separated, and like a traditional Japanese onsen you bathe naked. There's a nice guide on the wall of the change room that shows you everything you need to know about proper onsen etiquette.

Overall we'd recommend this place to anyone looking for the Ryokan experience in Takayama.

It was a serviceable hotel

We were only passing through Takayama and needed an inexpensive place to stay (which is all relative when traveling in Japan during cherry blossom season in April. The prices everywhere seem to go up exponentially at that time. Even though we booked at least 2 months prior to our trip, it was very difficult to find a nice place at a mid-range price. The Minshuku Iwatatkan was clean and had an okay public bath. It was a bit far from the train station or any points of ear interest, but they did have a shuttle to/from the station.

Good little ryokan in a residential area..The only problem was that if you had not ordered dinner on booking, they would not provide dinner, even with 24 hours notice....Some might find it too far from the centre town, but we liked being in this nice residential street, not far from the reiver.

A lovely traditional experience in a mountain town

Minshuku Iwatakan was one of the nicest places I stayed on my three week trip to Japan with my fiancée. We stayed May 16 and 17. Although a little far from the train station, the place was an exceptionally clean and quiet guesthouse. The traditional room was large and expansive, with comfortable tatami mats lining the floor. There was more than enough room for my fiancée and I. The workers were friendly, although their English was extremely limited. That being the case, however, there was no trouble arranging things with them. The room had an air-conditioning unit, which was nice during the hot days. Although the . The place is a little distant from the centre of the old town, but the centre of Takayama is extremely small and getting to the main part of town was a very pleasant stroll along a gorgeous riverbank. As well, the guesthouse has free bicycles for guests to use, which is excellent. It allowed us to bike out to the Hida Folk Village a few kilometres south, and one of our most enjoyable experiences was biking along the riverbank at 10pm at night after all the shops and restaurants had closed and there were few lights but the stars overhead. Such an experience was made possible by the convenience of the guesthouse. Finally, although there is a shared bathroom at Minshuku Iwatakan, it was never an issue. The washrooms were always clean and the communal showers were comfortable. The hot spring is a bonus.

Great memories of Takayama thanks to a great hotel

I really loved this hotel.
At the train station, when asking for directions to this hotel, the woman at the information counter rang the hotel for us and the lovely owner came to pick us up in a van. Likewise, when we were running late for out train out of Takayama, the hotel had not problem in rushing us to the station.
Minshuku Iwatakan was a traditional ryokan, so it meant shoes off in the foyer, and slippers throughout the rest of the hotel. The tatami mat rooms were incredibly spacious, and had a lovely relaxing ambience.
It was quite cold in Takayama at the time (early April) but thankfully the heater/air conditioner worked well.
The free bicycle hire was an utterly fantastic way of exploring the town and the free umbrellas came in really handy too.
Finally, the onsen, with it's indoor and outdoor pool was a really nice way to unwind from a long day of sightseeing.

Close to park, morning market and shrines

My wife and I stayed in Takayama in December and it snowed very heavily. We got snowed in for three days and were the only guests at Iwatakan. The staff were very accommodating but and it's a great little place but being at the back of the town against the hill in the older historic section you could tell that they weren't expecting guests and they seemed almost surprised to see us arrive.

Tradizione nella semplicità

Struttura tradizionale a conduzione familiare, dotata di piccola onsen. Gli spazi comuni sono gradevoli, la stanza era ampia con comodi futon sul tatami e con i consueti arredi fissi. Un grande vantaggio è stato quello di disporre liberamente di biciclette che agevolano di molto la visita della cittadina.

오래된 곳이지만 매력적인 곳

다카야마역과는 거리상 멀지만, 픽업서비스 해주신다. 하지만 가는 길이 메인일이라서 구경하면서 걸어 다녔다. 자전거를 빌려주시는데 가까운 곳에 편의점이 없으니 그땐 자전거를 이용하면 좋다.
공동욕실과 공동화장실을 써야하는 불편함은 있지만, 공동욕실에 일인용 노천욕조가 있어서 이용이 겹치지만 않으면 혼자서 공동욕실을 즐길수 있다(내 경우엔 혼자 사용하고 나니 다른이용자가 들어왔다) 주로 외국인 이용자가 많았다. 마치 친구집 이용하는 거처럼 다다미방을 이용하기 좋다. 최신호텔과 비교하자면 낡고 뭔가 부실할 수 있다고 하겠지만, 그 나름대로 분위기가 있어 좋다. 위치만 좀 시내쪽과 거리가 있어서 왔다갔다 하는데 불편함은 있지만 그래봤자 30분이내 거리에 다 이용할 수 있다.

Japan wie ich mir es vorgestellt habe.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber, trotz Gemeinschaftsbädern. Alles verläuft japanisch korrekt und höflich, der Übernachtungspreis ist absolut ok. Super ist der Shuttle-Service zum Bahnhof hin und zurück und die Möglichkeit des kostenlosen Fahrradverleihs. Wir haben den Aufenthalt in dieser entspannten Stadt sehr genossen!

다카야마에서 저렴한 민박

공용화장실이나 공용욕실은 불편하게 느껴질 수 있으나
방음이 전혀안되고 나무냄새나는 다다미방과 삐그덕대는 마루바닥같은 일본 시골느낌이 숙박을 경험할 수 있다.
내가 갔을때는 유럽인들이 많았었고, 저렴한 가격에 이 정도 분위기면 하나의 추억을 만들만하다.
밤에는 정숙을 지켜야하고 친구들과 시끌벅적한 여행을 생각한다면 피해야한다.

Perfecto para nuestra estancia

Nos ha encantado el hotel, nos vinieron a buscar a la estación de tren, cosa que es de agradecer y de camino al hotel nos dieron una vuelta por Takayama para irnos mostrando por donde estaba el las cosas mas importantes de la ciudad que debíamos de visitar. Fueron muy amables con nosotros todo el personal del hotel. Está todo muy limpio, habitación, baños, aseos, incluido el Onsen. Lástima que solo pudimos estar 1 noche, pero nos hubiera encantado estár mas tiempo. Cuando termino nuestra estancia nos llevaron a la estación de tren a la hora indicada. Cuando vuelva a Takayama, repetiré de nuevo mi estancia aquí.
