We liked the experience of this ryokan for the two nights we booked and the 3 onsen tubs were very relaxing although busy at certain times in evening and mornings. The traditional breakfast was a good experience and the elderly owners were sincere. The beds were very thin pads we had to roll out on the floor ourselves and pillows uncomfortable so did not have good sleep. Expedia website says it is within the city of Takayama but is actually a 1 hour bus ride into the mountains. It is also not an adult only facility and we found the price much higher during the golden holidays than it was worth.
