Hotels near Shin-Hotaka Ropeway, Takayama

We loved the private onsen in the rooms! The rooms were big and very clean. The hotel is surrounded by mountains, the view from the roof is wonderful. The view from the rooms (forest) is great, very calming.

This was a nice ryokan in the mountains with several baths. The scenery was amazing. Obviously, it can be a bit challenging to get to without a car, though it's possible. If you drive, they will valet park you for free. My Japanese is limited but as far as I could tell this is mandatory. Speaking of limited Japanese, the hotel was easy to get around in because they had quite a few English speakers. It's in the mountains so there will be fewer than in the cities though. The resort is dated but clean. It's actually nice if you're looking for a bit of a classic vibe. The mixed outdoor baths were nice for my partner and I. It's hard to find that in Japan. You have to wear these shorts and dress-like garment, not your own swimsuit. There are a few private baths that cost 1000 yen for 30 minutes. Very much worth it! But be aware, you need to pick up the key from the front desk first before going to the bath for your reserved timeslot. The mixed baths and private baths are across the street and down some stairs in the forest. It's worth it because the view from the onsen outside is magical. But at night it's a bit creepy, though still safe. You can also take this tiny on demand funicular down and up. Very useful! Checkout is at 10 am and they mean it. They temporarily close the baths and start cleaning the rooms very promptly at 10 am so don't assume you can take your time and leave around 10 or a bit later. You're pretty encouraged to leave right at 10. The Shinhotaka Ropeway is very close by which was very nice as well! Just an 8 min drive or so.

traditional ryokan experience. amazing mountains. great onsen. good dinner. there are three onsen’s available on a first come first serve basis. one onsen is very large, can accomodate a larger group. overall great stay.

The loveliest woman took care of everything and everything was amazing. The food as well was exceptional! I loved the location, right next to the bus stop, but you have to love a quiet place.

Mitsue Kinoshita is an elderly lady and manages everything! She uses a tablet to translate everything in your native language. Everything was uncomplicated and gave off the feeling of staying at your japanese grandma in her traditional japanese house with her beautifukly maintaines garden amd ourdoor earea. The dinner (in yukata) was an amazing variation with hida beef as the main star. You grill it yourself on a little charcoal grill. Finally, the onsen. Absolutely amazing! Indoor and outdoor, open 24h (because it is a hot spring^^). She even has a onsen foot bath on the terrace. Of note, the toilets are shared and the bathroom are the indoor and ourdoor onsen.

Beautiful surroundings, food and nature Once in a lifetime experience
