Takayama Wan Wan Paradise

Hotel

Remote location but a unique stay

Reviewed By Tripdogg

Due to the Autumn Festival in Takayama I had trouble booking an affordable hotel. This is 40mins by bus out of town. But a stay among dog lovers is unique, the room was excellent and although the restaurant only served set menu for dinner quite pricey I did not regret my stay here.

Incredible lodging and unmatched hospitality

Reviewed By argos41484

Hands down one of the best places we’ve stayed. We’ve traveled the world and this hotel is unmatched. The quality of service exceeded that of a five star hotel. Tai and his family are simply wonderful. He was our personal concierge, food, history and culture guide. From the moment he picked us up at the station, to him helping us purchase our return train tickets home, the care, hospitality and kindness was unmatched. The lodging is also outstanding and the beds were very comfortable. The home is beautifully restored with quality art and a calming outdoor koi pond. The house is immaculate and our private bathroom was lovely. The hotel has a beautiful view of the mountains. We were lucky enough to be there for the golden fall leaves and some early snow. We chose to have breakfast included which was exceptional and the best we’ve had in Japan. To give you an idea of the level of care, it started to snow and Tai provided us hand warmers, umbrellas and arranged lunch reservations our outing. Then he checked in on us on later in the day for a pickup and had a roaring fire with treats waiting for us when we got back. Wonderful stay!!

First thing to know is that the futons here are super comfortable! I had a wonderful night's sleep on what felt like a cloud and got some nice mountain air with the windows open. My husband and I stayed in a room with a private bath, and while the room had a strong smell of the tatami rice mats when we first walked in, with some air circulation, the room was comfortable, everything was clean, and the staff was helpful when asking questions, storing bags, etc. The hotel is also very conveniently located near the center of Takayama so you are set to go out and explore for the morning, afternoon, or evening no matter when you check in or out. For simple but comfortable accommodations, definitely book a spot at the Rickshaw Inn.

We stayed there for a couple of nights and enjoyed the dinner on the first night. Everything was perfect: the location, the high level dinner, the rooms and obviously the kindness of the staff. We will definitely go back there when we visit the family in Gifu prefecture.

アットホームなペンション

Reviewed By 智紀 松

ワンちゃんと宿泊可能なペンションです。高山市内からは車で約6キロ、10分ほど西に位置します。我々が着いたのは夜7時を回っていました。スーツケースやワンちゃん用荷物が沢山ありましたが、オーナーさんが部屋まで持って行くのを手伝ってくれました。部屋にはバストイレが付いています。ツインルームでした。チェックインしてから、高山まで戻って夕食は食べました。朝食は7時30分からにしました。養殖と和食が選べます。我々は洋食にしました。サラダ、スープ、そしてメインはワンプレートです。ウインナー、目玉焼き、ハムが入った具材が巻き混であるクレープなど、コーヒーと最後にデザートもあります。5組宿泊していました。
