“You will struggle to find a better pool with a better view”

“Owner is very kind to give us a free ride to Shinhotaka Ropeway. Ryokan is situated beside a river with amazing views and private outdoor onsen and right in front of the bus stop whereby bus from Takayama will pass by the ryokan. Note that this is a ryokan stay, so bathroom is public. We didnt try their dinner/breakfast set as it was quite expensive. Brought our own food and staff helped us to heat it up with microwave.”

“1. Traditional Japanese experience through food, room, and location. 2. Thoughtful service. We purchased a combined bus ticket which included entrance to the Shinhotaka Ropeway. It was closed due to the snow. A staff member who saw us about to leave bound for the ropeway and told us it was closed. Without prompt or request from us, she sought our tickets and procured a refund for us from where we bought the tickets from. This level of thoughtfulness went above and beyond service we had anywhere. 3. Onsen in the snow.”
