Otaki Hotels

"Very modern and clean hotel. Staff was very helpful with booking reservations and offering transportation options. The co-ed onsen is a nice touch "

"Lovely clean hotel and nicely designed. Centrally located. I can’t help but question why they put a literal mattress on this huge area? Seems like wasted space. "

"Went hiking on the Nakasendo Trail. Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, as it is one of the closest and best hotels in the vicinity. Overall, it was a good experience. Staff were courteous, as usual, with the Japanese hospitality. The room is clean, but a bit tired. Could do with a renovation. Buffet is good, a wide spread of food and drinks, and the quality is good. Service staff are friendly and extremely hardworking. Except you get the same Breakfast and Dinner menu every day. I think they don't expect anyone to stay beyond 1 day. No other restaurants nearby, so you don't have much of an option. "

"Large hotel outside the city good for group travelers. Onsen on premises was excellent. Breakfast was also good. With my arrival I asked the reception to eat in a Japanese restaurant and was told only available the western restaurant with Pizza, burger etc…. I went to check the restaurants and checked the Japanese one if available and to my surprise they told me no problem I can get reservation which I did. I returned to the reception and asked why I was told otherwise. An apology was in place but I guess that’s the policy to separate the foreigners from locals so the atmosphere to be kept undisturbed by foreigners who some may have bad manners. Unfortunately it’s being repeated in many places I visited after the current flood of tourists. "

"The breakfast buffet had lots of options - I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit, bacon and eggs. The room was spotless and the shower was incredible after a long day - the pressure felt like a massage. The hotel lobby is beautiful and features wood and wood carvings from the local area. The onsen was also a wonderful treat at the end of the day, although, sadly, the outside area was closed during our stay. "

"Brilliant stay. Location great if you’re taking or ending the Tsumago Magome walk. Walkable to train station. 7-11 nearby. Room ok in size as compared to Tokyo. Breakfast excellent local Food. Constant supply of tea/coffee n free soup I’m the afternoon. Highly recommend. "

"zen like room, nice details, location very convenient"

" Wonderful staff!!! Great location…right near the Old Town. And the food was delicious!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Wat Hotel & Spa Hida Takayama and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Takayama. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the old town, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were surprisingly spacious (especially compared to typical Japanese hotels), very clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the onsen and spa facilities. They were beautifully maintained, relaxing, and such a nice way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I also loved the option of private baths—it made the experience feel even more special. A really standout moment for us was arriving to find a thoughtful honeymoon setup in our room, including a handwritten-style card, flowers, and balloons. It was such a lovely surprise and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated—such a special touch that we didn’t expect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and everything felt very well organised. The breakfast had a good mix of Japanese and Western options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, this hotel offers amazing value for money with great facilities, comfort, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!"
