Honjin Hiranoya Bekkan Ryokan

The women’s onsen at relax kura was charming and relaxing. Love the kaiseki dinner and japanese breakfast, and the rooms are comfortable. Staff goes above and beyond. Would recommend this ryokan after a day of adventure in Takayama

Wonderful place to stay! This was our first ryokan experience and it could not have been better.||The staff was so attentive and helpful. The ryokan is located right on the river and it was delightful to open the doors and hear the water while drinking tea and relaxing in the room.||Breakfast and dinner were both delicious. Each course was beautiful and served with love in lovely private dining rooms.||We loved the baths - the women's bath in the building next door is especially nice with a cozy place to have tea after the bath.

It's our best decision made to stay here for our trip to Hida Takayama. We love the place, the people, the food and the details provided by the Roykan.The women only onsen next door is very special with edo period deco. We were glad to have spent the time there. We look forward to staying here again when we go to Hida Takayama next time.

The hotel is staffed by mostly non-japanese staff, can be a plus or not. Hospitality from the staffs are excellent tho. The room is clean but normal and dated, nothing stands out, so is the hot spring/onsen, which doesn't even have an outdoor section for Women's bath, how and why? Food is bland, also lacks execution and seasonality, which is the point of kaiseki dinners. Whole experience is meh and lackluster. Paid USD500 for such experience, I would not even consider it but a mistake.

This hotel located in the very good location near the old town with not crowded area and still get Japanese vibes. The room and onsen style is Japanese standard. This place make a homey feeling and hospitality is nice.

Great location with amazing views! All the staff are very friendly. They even went above and beyond in providing helpful information for our trip back to Tokyo. And they let you hit the big traditional drum at the entrance!

Very nice hotel in Takayama. When you check in they ring a gong for you and give you complementary green tea and jelly. Then you are walked into the kimonos and pajamas place, where you take one to live the full experience, a minor detail that could seem insignificant but I appreciated a lot. Then came the dinner, it was a 10 meal course including wagyu beef, one of the best beefs in the world. Then you get to sleep in a tatami in a typical Japanese bed, sleeping with such comfortable beds and close to the river is a marvellous experience. All In all, I loved the hotel, the staff, the food, the experience, basically everything. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to live something different than the ordinary.

Wonderful hotel looking over old part of Takayama. Lovely staff and excellent meals. We are very glad we chose to have breakfast and dinner there. Ono-san was super kind and friendly in welcoming us to the hotel.
