The hotel is lovely. My room was terrific. But this particular hotel is literally in the middle of nowhere. It is a stop along the road in the very northern part of Takayama. When you read information online about the location of the hotel, and it states that there are things nearby or close by to do and see know that is only relevant if you have a car. If you are traveling to Takayama by train, when you arrive at the station, you will then board a bus and ride it north for an hour and a half before you reach the hotel. There are very few restaurants, no grocery store, etc… if you want to do anything in Takayama you need to board the bus and go back into the city and note that that bus only frequency this particular area twice a day at 6:30a and at 3:30p. The location is wild and gorgeous – but there are no hiking trails, parks to visit/explore, etc…it is “wild” and is the part of Japan that has been frequented, recently, by bears (I saw a bear when I was walking along the main road) so it would be potentially dangerous to just go off exploring in the woods. So, great hotel to stop at if you are traveling by car between Takayama and the Japanese Alls/northern region of Japan. Not at all the place to make an effort to visit if you want to go somewhere and stay for a while and have things to do w/o a vehicle. Anything you read online about this place being close by things to do and see is a bait and switch.
