Hotel Wood Takayama
Tranquil, cozy atmosphere. It’s well located. Staff is friendly and service was excellent. The room was spacious enough, minimalistic, had nice design accents and was very comfortable. We really enjoyed it.

Takayama stay Kakitsubata
広々として，清潔感もあり使いやすかった。 夜に入館したため，チェックイン時の鍵の部分が暗くわかりにくかった。 外国人対応も意識しての掲示もわかりました。 館内は段差があるので、サイト上2階への階段の案内の他に字とことプラスされていればkさらに良いかもしれません。 また，チェックイン前に宿泊者の写真登録が必要な意味も、実際にチェックインしてセキュリティ上理解しました。滞在は快適でした。
