Takayama Okuhida Hot Spring Village Hotels

"Thank you for your amenities- room was a little small for suitcases "

"This stay was the highlight of our trip. If you’re looking for a tourist friendly ryokan stay - this is your spot."

"Awesome facilities and it’s very close to the station so huge luggage is easy to cart to and from, recommend more than one nights stay The staff were friendly, they also knew some English which helps with language barriers, the staff recommended a high end beef restaurant close by which is a definite must try"

"It’s designed as a comfortable mansion, with every amenity and facility you may need. A great place worth every penny of my budget!"

"Nice onsen bath."

"Great spa."

"Clean and spacious room with everything you need, will give it a 11 out of 10 rating if I can! Highly recommended!!"

"Clean room, great bed and very effective heater. "

"I had high hopes for this hotel because of the onsen, so we booked three nights in a japanese-style room with half- board (breakfast and dinner). First, this hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. You cannot walk to town or any restaurants outside of the hotel property. The closest town is Hirayu Onsen, which is a ten-minute bus ride. We should've stayed there instead. We've been traveling all over Japan for the past five weeks so we've stayed at several hotels before this one. This hotel is the worst so far. If I had to pick one main reason for my low rating, it would be the front desk staff, specifically the Japanese male manager. He was borderline rude. Did not speak a lick of English. The foreign workers are the nice ones. Here, the japanese service staff are surprisingly cold and unwelcoming. They gave us the impression that they do not like western tourists. As I mentioned earlier, we pre--paid for the kaiseki breakfast and dinners. All but one (dinner on the second night) were huge disappointments. We should've just eaten in town, even with the inconvenience. The Japanese-style rooms are subjective. I would never do it again. The tatami beds are just too hard on my back. The onsen is nice. We tried all of them and found the ones outside (shared) were just too hot for us. I guess this is the only redeeming feature of this hotel, but you can also find a better hotel option in town (Hirayu Onsen) where you can walk to many restaurants and the bus station."
