Hostels in Gifu Prefecture, Japan

The hotel is in an excellent location with great amenities nearby. It's just a bridge away from Miyagawa Morning Market and very close to the old town of Takayama. During my two-day stay, all the other guests I encountered were European, and I was the only Asian person in the entire backpacker room, which was a very unique experience.

So cozy and i was lucky to have the best roomies ever ☀️ 🪲PROS - has a shuttle bus and multiple times a day or a bus station close by - inner part of the city is reachable within 20-25 mins of walking and the folk village is very close - kind owner and cozy interior with a very homey feel - kitchen and bathrooms were easily accessible and clean, shampoo and shower gel were included - coin laundry and coin dryer were easy to use and cheap as well ❤️🩹CONS - not really a con, but remember to bring a towel and toothbrush/toothpaste, if you forget it you can also get a towel at the Inn - 25min on foot is not that far away from the inner city and it’s great that the folk village is so close (if you want to visit) - but i had my focus on different things during my visit, so next time i would book something closer to the inner part of the city and the travel bus station 🌱 all in all, i really enjoyed my stay

Staying at Hostel Miyagawa by Murasaki Ryokan was truly one of the highlights of my trip — an unforgettable experience that beautifully blended comfort, tradition, and hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed into a warm, peaceful atmosphere that reflected the essence of a traditional Japanese ryokan. The design of the space is charming and authentic, with thoughtful touches that bring out the beauty of Japanese culture. Everything from the tatami rooms to the meticulously clean facilities made the stay incredibly comfortable. What truly made it special, though, was the feeling of calm and connection to local traditions that this place offers. It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s a cultural experience in itself. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to immerse themselves in an authentic and beautiful ryokan stay.

Genuine Japanese style accommodation in an Onsen. Facilities are limited but one encounters Japan like no other. Admitting that sleeping on a mattress next to each other is not for everyone and so might be the public shower in the Onsen. Shuttle bus to the city is needed as its quite far from the city centre. Luggage storage is very limited. Curfew at 11pm without exception.

Cleanliness is ok. It was a perfect stay if you just sleep. It is within walking distance to the international conference hall and is good for business use.

The room was incredibly spacious and clean. I especially loved the kitchen, perfect for cooking the Hida beef I bought from the butcher – amazing value for money! Plus, having a washer and dryer was a huge convenience. It's also super close to both the Nohi Bus Center and Takayama Station, which was really handy.

good location,suitable for low budget people,like the onsen

I liked the Japanese-style room. The location isn't exactly close to the station, about a 10-minute walk, but it is walkable. Takayama Jinya is right in front of the accommodation, so it is convenient for sightseeing, and the atmosphere was nice with the market opening in the morning.

The owner of the accomodation is really accomodating The only thing that I observed was that the location has not much to offer when you're looking for some food So on my second day I did bought foods that will suffice until the next morning

The location is very convenient, very near to train station and city centre. Luggages storage is available and there is kitchen for guests to use.
