Nice traditional inn

Good location. Comfortable traditional Japanese beds. Little table in room and small clothes hanging area along with own sink. Shared bathroom was OK, no issues with queuing for the shower or toilet. There was a separate toilet for male/female. No outdoor shoes throughout the property, but slippers are provided. Shared lounge is spacious and had tea and coffee available throughout the day.

Kitchen small but with a range of things to use if you wished to cook in. Big fridge for sharing, just write room number on your items. Knives were stick to magnetic strip on one of cupboard door (I missed that initially so used a normal knife to bluntly cut my apple).

Easy walk to the main attractions and station. Lots of food options. The owner will provide you with a map with some reccomended food options. The restaurant next door is excellent, we wanted to go again, but it was closed on Sunday.

A delightful little inn!

This is a delightful little inn. The staff are welcoming, efficient and gave us great recommendations on where to eat and what to see. Our Japanese style room was comfortable, even large by Japanese standards. There is also a beautiful lounge for guests to use. Breakfast was great and is very reasonably priced. We would certainly stay here again if we were back in Takayama.

Like the inn and room we stay. Clean, tidy and the room is big. The property is near the old street and nearby have a lot of restaurants to choose and the food are tasty. The Inn allow us to keep our baggage overnight. This is much more appropriated because it make us easy to transit to Shinhotaka ropeway then overnight at Hirayu. We will stay here again if there is a chance to visit Takayama.

Best time in Takayama

The hostel is great !!!
Very comfortable mattress.
I booked for Japanese style with bathroom. The mattress is thicker than normal Japanese ones which is the best. This is individually, I can sleep better after the long day out and walk around a lot. Free tea and coffee located on 2nd floor, share kitchen and common area.
I was walking in the back street across from the hostel and found the local restaurant that full of Japanese ppl.
I went there for 2 nights durymy stay in Takayama. The food is fantastic, nice environment. Sit at the bar, chat with the local then drink sake with them. It was one of the best time I had in Japan.
The worst part is hang over next day.
Fully recommended this hostel!!!!
Great location, an out 7 mins walk from Takayama station.

Excellent location. Small and homely and the owner is an expat and still is able to speak reasonable English, {just joking, he speaks excellent English.} Rooms are a reasonable size with good facilities. We had a room with a private bathroom and it was excellent.
On 3 levels and only stairs no elevators, but that's fine. Nice lounge to sit and read or have a coffee.

Not the best Japanese style living experience!!

While we knew we had not booked a fancy hotel, as they were quite expensive in Takayama, we were quite taken aback when we realised how tiny the room was! The pictures were definitely deceiving in this case.also, the description mentioned shared bath but even toilets were shared, we were not expecting that. Lounge and lobby area was good and had that old Japanese feeling to it but rooms itself were below expectation
the staff at reception while checking in was good but later never there and ater calling them couldn't help much. Our wifi never worked, not in the room nor in the lounge. And the staff dint even try to fix that

Nice Hotel within a walking distance everywhere.

This hotel located within a walking distance to the train station and all attractions. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable and staff is very nice and helpful. On a negative side, the building and rooms are a little run-down. The location is noisy and unless you close the windows it is hard to get asleep even after midnight. There is no elevator, so if you have a lot of luggage, book a second-floor room.

Stayed at rickshaw inn for one night while we explored Takayama. The location is perfect. Easy walk to everything. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I think the best quality is that if you choose the Japanese style room, you can get the ryokan feel without paying the high ryokan prices. It got a little cold in the room but the heater in the room is powerful and works well. Highly recommend this place!

令人驚豔的日式房間體驗

住宿經驗非常美好，單人日式的榻榻米房間，鋪上風味十足的被褥（而且非常舒服，贏過連鎖飯店的彈簧床），令人想賴在房間裡。
即使是共用衛浴，也非常乾淨整潔，空間也非常足夠。
但如是持大件行李的旅客，要留意飯店是日式建築無電梯，但check in時老闆有協助搬行李至房間。
總而言之對於這次住宿經驗非常滿意！

다카야마 릭샤인-하루 머물 정도

료칸 같은 느낌을 기대했다면 아닐수 있어요. 조립식 가건물 같은 분위기라 꽤 춥고 난로로 난방해서 무척 건조해요. 주인장은 매우 친절하세요. 위치는 중요지역을 걸어다니기 좋은 위치이지만 역에서는 거리가 좀 있어요. 분위기나 시설에 비해선 비싼 편이에요. 3층건물인데 엘리베이터 없어요. 짐이 무겁다면 맨발로 짐들고 삼층 올라가실 각오하셔야 해요

Locanda tipica giapponese con interni belli e puliti, il bagno in comune un po' claustrofobico ma adeguato alle dimensioni giapponesi. La città e la zona comunque ripagano: c'è un ottimo ristorante di sushi accanto.
