I recently spent 3 nights at the Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan and loved it. The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. The whole experience from the room to the food and onsen gave me a really good insight in to Japanese culture. Property is very central, close to old town and restaurants. I tried both the Japanese and American breakfasts and liked both. I would recommend this property for people who want amazing service, a modern property close to everything and those that want to experience the Japanese culture.

Liked: Cleanliness
The dinner is a bit disappointed. The sashimi seems comes out from frozen food and no taste of fish at all. In general, the staff service is great. Maybe I will stay there next time but without meal at all.

Impressive stay experience
Very good location, just 5-minute walk to Old town. Super nice and great service-minded staff, especially Ms. Eriko, the landlady. All needed amenities are provided. We enjoy delicious food with pleasant food decoration. Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan is the only place we will stay every time we visit Takayama.

Wow - where do I start? This was an amazing place. Our first experience of a Ryokan but we were truly impressed from the reception on arrival with drum, to the superb rooms, the extremely attentive, but not intrusive, staff. The food was exceptional and can revommend both the onsens and the in room Chiatsu massage

The best place to stay in Takayama
Location is amazing. All the stores were walking distance, practically at your doorstep. Service was impeccable. The ryokan provides transportation to and frm train station. There are 3 onsen affiliated w this ryokan. One on property and 2 across the street. They provide yukata in your room. Would recommend one Japanese style dinner and breakfast on site. It’s a wonderful experience. I would love to come back for the service and the location convenience. Beautiful place to stay.

10/10, worth every penny!!! The ultimate ryokan experience. Every details and aspects of the stay is warm and comfortable. From the moment you enter the door, you are greeted the most welcoming staff. The room is spacious, clean, and full of Japanese details. The meals are abundant and delicious, every dish is a work of art. There are 3 onsens to choose from, each one is super clean and filled with amenities. The location is the ryokan is a 10 minute walk from the Takayama station and right in the heart of the old town.

Samantha

Our stay at the high-end Honjin Hiranoya Kachoan was an amazing experience. When we arrived that evening, they led us right in for a fancy kaiseki dinner in a private room. We didn't love all of the food options, but they were great to try, and we loved the experience. Next night, we are at their yummy sushi restaurant. The beds were traditional but extra fluffy. The baths were one of my favorite places of my trip. So beautiful and lots of them. The soaps etc they offer are really worth trying--they smell beautiful and left my skin so soft.

10/10 Excellent

Desdemona

The whole stay was flawless and staff are really very consciously looking after your needs. The in room bath pool overlooking a small garden was cool. The dining experience was most excellent. Lastly we left a jacket in the wardrobe and realized that at the train station with minutes to board!; as my daughter was on the phone to hotel; the driver had retrieved the jacket and showed up at the station to return the jacket. This will never happen anywhere else - really appreciated the service levels.
