Hotels in Shin Hotaka Onsen, Takayama

Beautiful place with amazing hot springs (for private use). Perfect for a relaxing stay, rooms were very comfortable and service was excellent! Tao (hope I’m spelling that right) was very sweet and attentive. We also had dinner and breakfast and food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this place! 👍

We went to Kazeya in our honeymoon. We had an upgrade for a room with a private Onsen and it was amazing. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect resting after walking days and days in Tokyo. The food in this Onsen was perfect and the staff speak good english. Everyting was perfect. Thank you so much for the hospitality

The rooms are big (enormous for Japanese standards), the staff is super helpful and friendly and tie cuisine is tasty. Yes, the hotel is a bit older but clean and well functioning. Plus the own private hot tub with hot spring water is great to have

This was a nice ryokan in the mountains with several baths. The scenery was amazing. Obviously, it can be a bit challenging to get to without a car, though it's possible. If you drive, they will valet park you for free. My Japanese is limited but as far as I could tell this is mandatory. Speaking of limited Japanese, the hotel was easy to get around in because they had quite a few English speakers. It's in the mountains so there will be fewer than in the cities though. The resort is dated but clean. It's actually nice if you're looking for a bit of a classic vibe. The mixed outdoor baths were nice for my partner and I. It's hard to find that in Japan. You have to wear these shorts and dress-like garment, not your own swimsuit. There are a few private baths that cost 1000 yen for 30 minutes. Very much worth it! But be aware, you need to pick up the key from the front desk first before going to the bath for your reserved timeslot. The mixed baths and private baths are across the street and down some stairs in the forest. It's worth it because the view from the onsen outside is magical. But at night it's a bit creepy, though still safe. You can also take this tiny on demand funicular down and up. Very useful! Checkout is at 10 am and they mean it. They temporarily close the baths and start cleaning the rooms very promptly at 10 am so don't assume you can take your time and leave around 10 or a bit later. You're pretty encouraged to leave right at 10. The Shinhotaka Ropeway is very close by which was very nice as well! Just an 8 min drive or so.

It was a lovely ryokan in a spectacular setting. Food was great, staff friendly.

The hotel is super fantastic and worth to stay. The hotel staff are very polite and can speak good english. The facilities are super, out of my expectations. Room are big and clean. Love the private outdoor onsen so much, the public onsen is very good too. Luckily we stay for 2 nights to enjoy the stay.

Absolutely incredible! The place is absolutely breathtaking, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a delightful experience!

The meals were incredible, the staff were very attentive, and the location is beautiful. Our room was spacious and had a private onsen. The two "public" onsens are lovely and overlook the river. The public onsens can be reserved and there was always at least one available. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a good experience. For hikers, there is a mountain trail right outside Kakurean Hidaji.

Stunning mountain area. The onsen was incredible! You are really surrounded by forest. The meals we had were the best food we ate in the country. Real home cooking perfection. The onsen was a delight even in summer.
