"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!"

"Hotel was conveniently located close to the train station and close to many great little restaurants. A good place to stop for a couple of days to see the local sites. They provided a large bottle of water, which they replenished on a daily basis. Coffee and tea were mediocre, but there are many craft coffee, places nearby, which aren’t delicious. "

"Very conveniently located near the train and bus station, excellent breakfast, has nice onsen pools. My room faces the rail tracks so could hear trains passing but it wasn’t too much of an issue for me but could be for some. "

"Impecable rooms and service."
