Hotels With bar in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

Six months later, I returned to Takayama and stayed at this hotel for the second time. The service quality felt just as excellent as it did during my visit in February. Every staff member was incredibly friendly. The breakfast included a chocolate croissant that was absolutely delicious – I highly recommend trying it. Takayama in summer is so different from winter, but the warm feeling this small town gives me hasn't changed. I'm still touched. See you next time.

The hotel is very close to JR Takayama Station. After exiting the station, you don't need to cross the road; just turn right towards Tokyu Stay, and you'll find it after passing Ajikura Tengoku. The hotel's decor is very unique. We booked a corner triple room, so the space was incredibly spacious and comfortable. Besides drip coffee and tea bags, the room also provided bottled mineral water. There's an open-air bath on the 9th floor – simply flawless. Before my trip, I read many reviews recommending Hida beef, but to my dismay, I discovered Ajikura Tengoku was closed when I arrived (ugh!). Luckily, I quickly found Maruaki, a famous Hida beef restaurant open year-round. The beef was incredibly rich and fatty – you'll definitely fall in love with Hida beef! I'm already planning to come back next year! 😋

Traveling with family, we booked three rooms and experienced two different room types. All the rooms were spacious and clean. The Japanese-style room had a charmingly small door. The mountain-view private onsen room had a translucent door, and the large window next to the private onsen had no curtains, which felt like a lack of privacy. Besides the onsen, the hotel also offers billiards, table tennis, and karaoke. The staff were all very enthusiastic, and breakfast was quite refined. There's a free shuttle bus to and from the station during the day. Overall, it was a pretty good stay.

It was a lovely stay at Onyado. The service staff were very friendly and the place was relaxing and clean. Food provided for half board was delicious and there was even ramen provided for supper. Private onsen available for those opting privacy but if not the public onsen onsite was great as well.

Gero Onsen Suimeikan♨️ Japan's top three famous hot springs truly live up to their reputation! I tried all three grand baths, each with a different style: open-air, panoramic, and cypress. The alkaline 'beauty-enhancing' water left my skin feeling incredibly smooth. Soaking in the open-air bath at night under the stars cured all my fatigue. Convenient transportation and the 'one-night, two-meals' plan made for a fantastic experience. Highly recommend for a trip to the Chubu region! ✨

It's quite close to the station, about a 5-minute walk from the exit. I specifically chose this room type with a separate bathroom, but the toilet takes up a lot of space, so if that bothers you, don't pick this one. Also, there's no small table in the room, only a chair in front of the TV cabinet, which makes it very inconvenient if you want to buy some BBQ and beer to eat back in the room. The staff were very friendly, which is commendable. Lastly, I'd like to know why the accommodation tax in Takayama hotels is so much higher than in other hotels...

Great stay - just a few minutes walk from the bus station which was ideal for the next morning (early bus). Has an Onsen which was appreciated. Love the welcome drink touch (coffee, tea or a beer). Also nice that the room was setup when I went in ie lights on, just a nice little touch!

The hotel is located in the Hirayu Onsen town and is easy to find. It's a traditional Japanese hot spring inn with tatami mat rooms. While the facilities and exterior are a bit dated, it boasts several hot springs, both indoor and outdoor, with private onsen available for rent. The outdoor onsen has a more atmospheric setting, and there's also a sauna. Both breakfast and dinner were plentiful, offering many local delicacies. My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

I had a very relaxing three-night stay at Okada Ryokan. The service was excellent—staff were consistently warm and attentive, especially during meal times, which made the experience feel extra special. The food was simple and clean. I enjoyed it a lot but I was getting a little bored of it by the 5th meal. We added on a hida beef steak after seeing a few Japanese tourist ordering it. If you like fatty and soft beef, you should try it. The public onsen is spacious, with four pools. The outdoor pool is big and quiet. The room was comfortable and well heated for winter. The private onsen in the room was a highlight; it easily fits two people and was perfect for relaxing after a long day. This ryokan is over 100 years old, with parts of the structure dating back around 150 years. For a building of that age, I’d say it’s been well maintained. A small part of me wish the bathroom could be newer and cleaner but I would be missing the whole point. Staying here truly feels like stepping back in time—it was a unique and memorable experience. There are two local ski resorts within a 15-minute drive, and Takayama is about a 45-minute drive away.

We had a fantastic stay at FAV LUX Hida Takayama with our family and honestly wished we could stay longer! The room was spacious, modern, and spotless, giving us plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring. One of the biggest highlights for our kids was the bunk bed – they absolutely loved it and were so excited to sleep there every night! It definitely made the stay extra special for them. The hotel facilities were great and everything was very well maintained. We appreciated how clean and comfortable the entire property was, and the thoughtful room layout worked perfectly for families. The staff were also wonderful – always friendly, welcoming, and helpful whenever we needed assistance. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and were happy to answer questions or help with recommendations. Overall, we had a really enjoyable family stay. Clean, comfortable, family-friendly, and supported by excellent service. The kids are already talking about the bunk beds and asking when we can come back! We would definitely recommend FAV LUX Hida Takayama to families visiting the area and would love to stay here again. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
