호다카소 야마노 호텔

川沿いの露天風呂が最高でした。 建物は昭和のバブリー感がありますが、逆に良いと思います。 食事(白飯が炊き立てで嬉しい)やスタッフのサービスも丁寧でゆっくり出来ました。

Amazing outdoor hot spring and kaiseki dinner. A little out of the way from takayama city distance-wise, but there is a bus that takes you directly from the takayama station to the front of the hotel (1.5 hour ride). I only stayed a night and wish I had stayed an extra night to fully experience more of the hotel's hot springs and meals. The staff speaks some English now - they also provide a map of the facility with English.

Onsen - amazing Rooms (Western) - large room but bad beds and pillows. Very uncomfortable. Bathroom smelled of urine (suspecting a leaky seal in the toilet). Service - good Facilities - good - there is a nice sitting area, pool table, fireplace, range of onsen options (indoor, outdoor, mixed, separate and private mixed). Location - beautiful surroundings; accessible if arriving by car; limited services and food options nearby. -- Returned here after staying 5 years ago as we couldn't find anywhere with a comparable open-air onsen. It's definitely the drawcard for this Ryokan. The staff are helpful but do have limited English. Last time, I feel the service was more personal (staff greeted us, took our bags and parked our car, escorted us to our room and fitted our yukata) but less so this time. Not a problem though. There are limited food options nearby so please stock up before arrival or make sure you go to find food early as the few places we tried were closed by 7pm. I would not recommend the Western room for sleep comfort. The beds were incredibly hard and pillows like rocks. I still have a bad neck from it. It is quite expensive to stay, but for the onsen experience and beautiful surroundings it is worth it.

1e chose à savoir, ils ne parlent pas anglais à la réception... C'est la débrouille... même si vous téléphonez avant d'arriver... Pour ceux qui viennent en bus, l'arrêt est juste devant l'hôtel:arrêt "Yamano hotel". Le personnel vous y attendra et vous prendra en charge. Les repas sont exclusivement japonais, vous n'oublierez jamais cette expérience gastronomique option viande/poisson ou pour le végétarien que je suis également (peut-être utile de le préciser dans un mail) C'est beau, c'est bon, c'est abondant. Il y a plusieurs Onsen, un magasin, 1 feu ouvert. Comme l'hôtel se situe plus loin dans la vallée, vous devrez prendre 2 bus pour aller à Kamikōchi (mais c'est facile... Merci google maps) vous recevrez kimono et d'autres accessoires pour que ce séjour à la japonaise vous soit agréable.
