The staff were wonderful and the rooms are beautiful with nice air conditioning. The dinner (Hida beef) was amazing - we enjoyed many local specialities including sushi and delish Hida beef. The family onsen was perfect for us to enjoy a relaxing soak after a long day of travelling. Perfect location for hiking up to some castle ruins and seeing the amazing Hida no Saito folk village, which is worth exploring for 2+ hours to see traditional Japanese architecture and learn about the way of life.

Charming, very well run traditional Inn with great amenities and features. Great location with valley views and easy access to old town and a short walk to the Hida Village. Laundry facilities are great. Caretaker/owner is wonderful. Definitely eat the traditional meals offered (western and Japanese options), they will be a highlight of your trip!

Absolutely awesome traditional Japanese hotel experience, the rooms are simple as expected but great views. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The traditional dinner is a must, good value for the amount of food. Not a lot of restaurants around the hotel but only approx 20-30 minute walk to city centre (or short taxi ride away).

First time at a ryokan, so I had no specific expectations. Traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were excellent. Close to bus stop that’s only about 10 minutes from the train and bus stations. Shuttle service is also available. 10-15 walk from the Hida No Sato open-air museum, although it’s a fairly steep uphill walk.

My family stayed at this ryokan for two nights in November. We would recommend staying here for the experience of a Japanese inn and the fact that it is very authentic. We found the staff to be professional and polite. The drawback is the inn is located in an area quite a distance from the center of town and from all of the temples and shrines. If we were not a family of walkers it would have been a problem. We also reserved and had the dinners each evening which was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Do not be afraid of "sleeping on the floor." It is very comfortable and we slept well! The experience is a MUST during a trip to Japan.

Overall a very good experience! If you are looking for a traditional Japanese stay, I recommend this ryōkan. Pros: room is tidy and spacious. Public bath available (¥150/day). Wonderful Japanese breakfast and Hida beef dinner (both need to be ordered in advance, dinner - before 4pm). Courteous service and free morning shuttle to the train station! Cons: futon was fine to my taste but for some it may seem hard. Public bath was nothing special - just showers and one tub. But I'm glad it was availabile: great for a soak after a long and cold day of walking, plus both times I went in there, there was no-one else, so it felt private. The room didn't really lock from the outside, so the key was useless, but it's safe there and if you have valuables, a safety box is available in the room. I would have given it 4 stars but one night I went for a walk, and when I came back the lights of the front desk were off and the automatic doors were turned off, so I couldn't come in. I started banging on the door and calling the front desk but nobody was responding because the owners went to bed. After about 15-20 minutes of panicking somebody came downstairs to open the door. The owner told me that the door is locked at 10:30 pm, so keep this in mind if you're staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Ryokan. I was pleasantly surprised at how calming and soothing it was. We used the public bath which was incredible. Our view outside our place was gorgeous mountains overlooking parts of the town. There was a slight odor in the bathroom of musk but it didn’t affect us too much. Everything else was very clean. Beds were comfortable. They offered free shuttles to the bus stations which we were overjoyed to have since the local transit system is sometimes unreliable. The location was just next to the folk village and a bus stop. Overall I’d say this place exceeded our expectations.
