We enjoyed our stay and the hotel staff could not have been more helpful (particularly reception). We very much enjoyed taking advantage of the Onsen! We paid extra for the evening dining experience which was not universally appreciated by our teenagers - but was a very interesting opportunity to appreciate a Kaiseki style meal.

This beautiful ryokan was honestly perfect to me. First of all, the staff were incredibly nice and helpful, amazing hospitality!! The building itself, while having all the appearance of a traditional Japanese ryokan is extremely well kept and the facilities are of the highest quality. The room was simply beautiful with many amenities, and even a little tea drinking nook with a view of the city. The onsen was lovely as well. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable, and food was SUPERB. I would come back without hesitation. It has very very high value for the price I paid. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They were happy to make restaurant reservations for you. He traditional Japanese meal was very nice and they catered for my dislike of pork and beef. The onsen was lovely and the room was beautiful. If I was returning to Takayama, I would stay again without hesitation.

What an amazing place this is!! Everyone was telling me that I needed to stay in a Ryokan while I was in Japan and the Asunaro was the PERFECT place to experience a traditional Japanese inn. Right from when we arrived at the hotel, the staff were welcoming and could not do enough to make our stay fabulous. The room itself was spacious and immaculately clean and it had every amenity you needed. The breakfast experience was above and beyond with incredible food choices and service. The entire experience at this inn felt authentic and amazing and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This was fantastic traditional lodging. Our rooms were spacious and the public bath was an incredibly special extra perk. We were our kimonos and yukatas to the bath. The dining for both dinner and breakfast require reservations and are well worth it. Our only negative experience was the front desk telling us that the restaurant we wanted to eat at did not require a reservation, but discovering upon arrival that reservations are obligatory.

Charming Ryokan!

A beautiful, home-like ryokan that's a bit quirky but still traditional. The family who runs it is delightful and helpful. Very conveniently located -- about a 10-minute walk from the old town. You can't go wrong staying here!
