Great guest house! Gives very good value for money. The staff is great - lovely family, very helpful. The minute we arrived they gave us maps and tips for the travel. The atmosphere at the place is great and the location is very good - few minutes walk from the main station and from the attractions of Takayama.

2013年4月、一泊だけお世話になりました。 荷物だけ預けて深夜遅く帰ってきたので夜の感じはよくわかりませんが、高山駅からも近く寝るだけだったので快適でした。 翌朝ラウンジにいると宿泊客の半分以上が外国人だとわかりちょっとびっくり。この多国籍感が非常に心地よかったです。 チェックイン時にゲストハウス周辺の情報を教えてもらっていたので、助かりました。 また偶然にもオーナー夫婦と共通の友達がいることが判明、個人的にもすごく盛り上がりました。 April 2013, I stayed one day. I don’t know well the feeling of the night because I came back late late night entrust only luggage. It was comfortable because it was only sleep close from Takayama station. I was surprised a little more than half of the guests is found to be a foreigner and being in the lounge... More

I stayed only one night. Shingo, Madoka and little Haru were warm & lovely. They greeted me and wished me farewell. They provided me with an umbrella when it was raining and suggested I check out the Hot Springs for something a bit different. It's very close to the JR station and all the tourist spots.The shared dorm was a... More

I didn't have any of the warm, fuzzy, family-like feeling that others have mentioned. I showed up before check-in and from the get-go, I didn't feel very welcome. I can never understand people who own a business but seem to not want any business. It is cheap, close to the JR, and the bedrooms are clean but there was no... More

Stayed 2 nights at Tomaru. This guesthouse is really awesome, Shingo and his wife did a fantastic job keeping the place spotlessly clean, it felt like home. The hostel is located very near to the JR Takayama station, all tourist spots are also within walking distance. After check in, Shingo would provide a little custom made map that include best...

We spent three nights at this guesthouse in February. We requested the triple room for a family of four (two adults, two kids) but we were offered the more spacious six-bed dorm all to ourselves for the same price, in case we felt too cramped in the triple. The dorm was spotlessly clean, very nicely decorated and warm. The rest... More

We arrived by bus from Matsumoto and got a little lost following the directions on their website. They are actually 2 blocks down a laneway next to the Family Mart so the directions may be a little confusing. We were greeted by the young family running the guesthouse and given lots of information about the area and what we could... More

We stayed in August 2012 for four nights in a dorm room... This place is just all round amazing! The owners are a wonderfully friendly family and staying here feels like they're inviting you to be a part of that family (albeit briefly and without any of the downsides that usually insinuates). The rooms are immaculate, as are the shared... More

The place is great... very clean and pretty, central, everything you need. The owners are a young couple with (at the time of writing) one baby. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and full of useful advice regarding local sights and restaurants. It's worth every penny.
