We stayed 3 nights in this ryokan and experienced the best hospitality we have had in Japan. The family who run this establishment went beyond expectation in accommodating our needs (and there were a few. We are in our sixties and not used to futon sleeping :) The food, i believe, was traditional and very fresh and very good, especially great for me as my wife doesn't eat seafood :) If you are looking for a western bed and food then this won't be for you but you wont go past the kindness and consideration shown here. The location is good if you just want to get away from it all but there is nothing much happening in this sleepy little town. We drove there so we did some sightseeing and we're australians so used to travelling a bit to reach a destination. Takayama city is a 40 minute drive from this hotel.

There is a sliding lock on the door so you just use any of the 4 that is unoccupied. No need to reserve. We got rooms w/ Western beds so a good way to experience a ryokan without sleeping on a futon ( a bit hard for my old body I think.) The rooms are on the small size especailly the toilet, but that's authentic and usual. Our family really enjoyed this ryokan experience.

This place is a great for Onsens and also to visit Japanese Alpes a lot of nearby touristic sights and great hiking spots. Concerning the hotel itself the hot baths are really good and also the dinner menu diversified and a good taste of local food. But concerning the complements in the room only 2 used bath towels if you need extra one need to pay 100 yuan! For the price of the place is a bit too much.
