Takayama Mt. Kurai Hotels

"The rooms come with an attached kitchenette and washing machine which was a bonus to help us with our laundry. We stayed in Shinjuku, Matsumoto and Takayama. It was the biggest room we stayed and we loved it. Conveniently located next to the Bus and Train stations. "

"Fantastic small hotel, conveniently located steps away from the train station, surrounded with loads of excellent dining spots and only minutes walking away from the old town. The staff is friendly and helpful. 100% recommended. "

"The hotel was lovely, however, the mattress felt like sleeping on a slab of concrete, firm is an understatement. This one is not for me, but i'm sure for many others.It will be perfect."

"Wonderful immersive experience, fantastic breakfasts and great central location. Incredible staff!"

"Room was spotless and staff were very nice and helpful (they do go above and beyond). The room was spacious enough (we got the comfort room) and comfortable for my partner and I. It didn’t come with an irori but had a nice bath. It is about a half an hour leisurely walk to the main city area where all the things are happening. I found it to be an easy walk. There are a few restaurants and convenience stores close by. It was a relaxing getaway! The Kaiseki breakfast was a good experience and we also rented the private onsen. Thank you for a wonderful stay! "

"Todo bien"

"I loved this hotel, I would have given it a 5 star except for Barman on Thursday night 19th March who was very offhand bordering on rude. Everything else was excellent."

" Wonderful staff!!! Great location…right near the Old Town. And the food was delicious!"

"We had a fantastic stay at Wat Hotel & Spa Hida Takayama and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Takayama. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the station and within easy reach of the old town, which made exploring really easy. The rooms were surprisingly spacious (especially compared to typical Japanese hotels), very clean, and incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights was definitely the onsen and spa facilities. They were beautifully maintained, relaxing, and such a nice way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. I also loved the option of private baths—it made the experience feel even more special. A really standout moment for us was arriving to find a thoughtful honeymoon setup in our room, including a handwritten-style card, flowers, and balloons. It was such a lovely surprise and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated—such a special touch that we didn’t expect. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, and everything felt very well organised. The breakfast had a good mix of Japanese and Western options and was a great way to start the day. Overall, this hotel offers amazing value for money with great facilities, comfort, and location. We’d absolutely stay here again!"
