TOYOTA Shirakawa-Go Eco-Institute
Amazing location for Shirakawa Go but away from the crowds up in the mountains the staff are great, food amazing, rooms basic but spotless. The onsen are great and the free guided walk was perfect. The shuttle bus to Shirakawa Go is brilliant, we were able to choose our drop off and pick up ...

Convenient location and clean room. On the smaller side but could still open up a checked bag easily.

Residence Hotel Takayama Station
Convenience to the train and bus station was the best thing about this hotel. We had a few day trips planned, so that was key. The room itself was a bit dark, but very clean and had everything we needed, including a washer and a kitchenette. Don’t expect service in this hotel, there is none.

FAV LUX HIDATAKAYAMA
Rooms are well equipped with charging ports by the bedside and kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cooking equipment. Shower area is pretty tight but the toilet is kept separate which is good if you have someone showering and another person needing to use the toilet.

Relax Hotel Takayama Station
Loved the giant room for my family. Our only negative with the place is there is a flight of stairs to get to the lobby which wasn’t disclosed. So if you have elderly family members that don’t well with stairs be aware.
