Family hotels and homes in Hida

We stayed in Iori Tonomachi in Hida Furukawa. I had been looking at properties in Takayama but wasn't satisfied until I saw this stay in neighbouring Furukawa. It was stunning in the pictures so we decided to book 5 nights, as a family of three (including a 1 year old). The place is so well located by the canal, it was like stepping into a piece of history. The area is well maintained and was beautiful with the autumn leaves and koi carp, the setting couldn't have been more perfect. The house itself is warm and inviting and well designed, as well as well equipped with everything we needed. Extra touches such as blinds in the bedroom and bathroom, and a projector which we used for movies, made things even more intimate. The beds were wide and comfortable, and the bathtub was very special. All throughout the stay we felt connected to the wider Hida community. We had greeting gifts of local miso crackers and mouthwatering daifuku, as well bath salts and local spring water. We went back to the shops for more! We were greeted by a member of staff, and they and others remained connected throughout our stay to ensure we had places to eat for lunch and dinner, making reservations for us and organising our luggage forwarding. Our days started off with traditional breakfast sets hand delivered by a sweet lady who even brought a gift for our baby. They were so yummy and differed day to day. We asked for Japanese meals for our entire stay and they accommodated this request. We parked in the city hall car park which was a short walk away. We didn't mind this as we could stroll through the neighbouring Buddhist temple and festival square. We looked forward to returning to Furukawa after our trips, and getting to know the town. We miss it a lot already! The town of Furukawa itself is quiet and artistic, the woodwork is especially of note.

Very nice hotel with excelent staff

Gorgeous place, really big and beautifully designed. Despite being next door to the train station it was much quieter than expected. It was a bit further down the street than the Google map location, on the corner of the block but it was a perfect. Highly recommended with super helpful owners.

We had a great stay at Yoshihiko-sans place. Check in was in person, house rules were easy to follow and the surroundings are beautifully peaceful. It can get cold over night, but you have heaters everywhere and even the futons are heated (which was soooo nice)! If you are very tall, you will have to be careful, since the ceiling isn't too high. Parking is easy accessable on the premises. Bus connection is close to the accommodation. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience rural Japan. Breakfast was also very tasty!!

<Food> Exceptional meals with seasonal and local ingredients. We had been looking forward to the meals as we understood this hotel is a '料理旅館' (literally dining hotel) from its Japanese name. Exceeded our expectations as it's delicious and special (not the typical Kaiseki). <Room> Very spacious family room with our own internal corridor, floor to ceiling windows, overlooking the river. Nice views in the snow!

The villa was spacious, clean, comfortable, and luxurious. We were blown away by the interior aesthetics which exceeded the images shown on the listing. Amenities were generous and excellent facilities were provided. Cups, plates, beverage classes (from pretty Japanese tea cups to glass-cut sake cups were provided). Definitely able to accommodate a group of 5-6 comfortably. Bed was really comfy, clean, and the whole apartment smelled so good.

Furukawa is a beautiful village in the mountain, the house was awesome, typically traditional Japanese house, absolutely beautiful, the owner is very nice and as always exceptional Japanese hospitality make this place a place to go.

We liked everything. Service was exceptional!

It was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The shop is next door if you need anything.
