Hotels in Hirayu Onsen, Takayama

This is the best hotel we have stayed at!! We loved everything about it. The staff were friendly and accommodating. They helped us with our bags and showed us to our room. The restaurant staff were also fantastic. Our room was beautiful and peaceful. The private bath was like nothing I have seen before. So cool! Overlooking the quiet forest. The beds were comfortable, cozy and the sliding doors hardly let any light in. The womens public outdoor bath is exactly like the pictures, overlooking trees with an amazing red autumn colour tree at the front. It was just so beautiful. There is also a sauna and cold plunge in the women's bath as well as ice cold water to drink after the hot bath. I even had the public bath to myself on the second day which was so cool! The hotel provides great amenities in the lobby and the room. Water, local sweets and shampoo/ soap in the room as well as additional toiletries as you check in. At night there are local snacks, ice water and sake in the lobby. In the lounge they had beer, wine and local apple juice at night. Tea and coffee available in the daytime. There was also ice lollies and milk for after the public bath. The outdoor private baths which are on a first come first served basis were also beautiful. We were able to use them often on our stay which I was glad about as I initially worried they would be too busy. They open til late too. The outdoor deck has a fire pit at night overlooking the trees it was so peaceful. We had the hida beef at dinner which we cooked ourselves on the grill, a great experience. It may be better to book this hotel direct as we didn't realise we hadn't booked breakfast and dinner. Luckily they had space for us when we checked in. There is a free shuttle from the bus station although it is a short walk if you don't have heavy bags. We did so called them via pay phone upon arrival and they were there within 5mins.

Beautiful place with excellent traditional Japanese food. Thanks for making my holiday memorable 💕

The kaiseki dinner was incredible. We enjoyed the private onsen, it was a great experience.

I loved everything about this hotel. The staff were polite and helpful with any queries that I had, and the hotel itself had a very peaceful atmosphere. The private onsens were such a bonus (first come first served, there'll be a sign to indicate whether it's vacant or occupied, and they suggest you only spend 30 mins in there at a time so others aren't waiting long for you). There's a coin washer/dryer machine, plus they offer massages too. The room was huge for one person and had everything that I needed. It was clean and very thoughtfully decorated, with gorgeous mountain views. I couldn't recommend this hotel enough!
