"The room was clean and the staff very friendly. The kaiseki provided was very tasty and local, with staff who are knowledgeable about the food and the area. The indoor and outdoor onsen were comfortable and relaxing. We had a good time and enjoyed some very reasonably priced and tasty umeshu while there. Highly recommended!"

"This hotel was next level. From the amazing, friendly staff to the Hilton level amenities and standards.
We were greeted in fluent English by super friendly staff to what seemed like a very empty resort. We believe it only seemed empty due to renovations to the second tower. We booked a private onsen for your family at the front desk and went to our beautiful room. The buffet dinner was fantastic and to follow the breakfast buffet was equally amazing.

This Onsen is very well operated, beautifully appointed and in a natural setting that provides exceptional tranquility because of its natural beauty. The onsen itself, is the best of the five that we experienced during our two weeks in Japan. The meals were exceptional as were the staff. We could not have been happier and very much hope that we can return some day.

Due to the a typhoon we spent 6 nights at this hotel and stayed in each type of room. The hotel is modern, Japanese edge designer hotel in a great location the very best part of Takayama.
It took us a few nights before we really understood the philosophy of the hotel owners and management team. It is designed to immerse you in a unique Takayama local experience. So no TVs, free drinks in the main lobby, with its furniture etc made by local craftsmen and a great onsen, you are encouraged to...

The staff are very nice and helpful. Very attentive! There’s a restaurant inside the Inn and also a free private onsen. We had a great experience. Also, nearby attractions can be done by walking. Maps and guides are also provided by the staff.

Hugely welcoming when you arrive. The staff are lovely and the hotel is spotless. We had breakfast (Japanese both days) and a dinner here, which was all superb. The hot bath is really well set up too. Hotel is between the station and old town, so a perfect location.

What a lovely older style (in Australian standards) resort in Takayama. The onsen is amazing and so are the restaurants. Great place to stay where you never need to leave!

The decor was just beautiful. Very modern.
The staff were great, all very helpful and friendly.
Great location.
Our room was perfect. I could have stayed a lot longer.
The onsen was wonderful.
The only complaint would be that if you have expensive French champagne on the menu, keep it in the fridge! Especially on NYE. But other than that, this hotel is one of the best hotels I've stayed in.

The best area to stay in Akigami Onsen is directly within the Akigami Onsen village itself, as it's a compact and focused destination.
This small village is located in the Hida Mountains, specifically known for its hot springs and tranquil setting. The main street, though modest, is where you'll find the cluster of traditional ryokans (Japanese inns) and a few local eateries. The highlight here is the public footbath, a popular spot for visitors to relax and enjoy the mineral-rich waters.
Couples seeking a relaxing getaway will find the onsen village perfect. Staying in one of the ryokans allows for direct access to private and public hot spring baths, often with scenic views of the surrounding mountains. It's an ideal setting for unwinding, enjoying traditional Japanese hospitality, and experiencing the natural beauty of the region.
Solo travellers looking for a peaceful retreat will also appreciate the onsen village. The quiet atmosphere and the opportunity to indulge in the hot springs provide a chance for genuine relaxation and introspection.
When is the best time to go to Akigami Onsen?
The best time to visit Akigami Onsen is during the autumn months, specifically from late October to late November, to experience the stunning autumn foliage, or in winter, from December to February, for a serene snowy landscape and superb onsen experience.
Autumn is particularly popular for its vibrant natural beauty. The hills surrounding Akigami Onsen transform into a breathtaking tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows. This is an ideal time for couples or nature enthusiasts who appreciate scenic walks and photography amidst spectacular scenery. The crisp, cool air also makes soaking in the outdoor hot springs especially pleasant.
Winter offers a different, yet equally captivating, experience. Imagine relaxing in a warm outdoor onsen while snowflakes gently fall around you – it's incredibly tranquil and picturesque. This season is superb for those seeking a peaceful retreat and a truly authentic onsen experience away from crowds.
