Rural setting with incredible meals

We chose this ryokan because of its proximity to Kamikochi, but come to find, it's not a fast/easy trip. It's about half way between Matsumoto and Takayama - 1.5 hrs in each direction, so also not a fast trip. It's an old hotel (I think they plan on renovating soon), with nice, helpful staff, large room, small, hard beds, and incredible meals. I you want to experience a more rural setting in the alps, this is a good place to stop for a night. There's not much to do around the neighborhood.

Nice place although in need of update as everything is quite old and tired and the room was very dark. The area itself is remote and no hiking trails available apart from one on the other side of the river, along the river all the way to the cable car, but it is not used a lot so felt un-used for years with bear traps along the way and very overgrown, so we retreated after a while. Good bus connections to other places but you might need to consider hiring a car. The ryokan has private onsens which was excellent as I have several tattoos and was not allowed in other public places. Food at ryokan was very good and a highlight of the stay. The rating of this ryokan reflects it tired state and remoteness if you are prepared to travel from it and otherwise enjoy a relaxing stay.

食事は美味しく飛騨牛を堪能できて満足です 貸切風呂の入口の扉が下の方が隙間があり、覗かれそうで心配でした。4つある中の1番端のお風呂は、隣の建物の二階から見られそうでこちらも心配でした。 宿のスタッフの方の対応はとても親切でよかったです。 お風呂自体は、気持ちのいい温泉でした。

Must stay hotel if you drive to Nishihotadake

What I want to say is, you can’t find any hotel at this price with private onsen (public area) with can go with your kids. They also serve very nice dinner and breakfast which is included the in the hotel charges or FOC since the price is reasonable or consider cheap in Japan.

コスパ良しです。サービスの仕方を工夫しようとしているのが伝わります。 ただ、夕食時に白飯を食べ終わってから汁と香物が出てくるなど仲居さんが一人だったので客全員には目が配れなかったようです。 まあ、ご飯が美味しくて食べるのが早過ぎたのも原因ですが。

Wonderful dinners!

The meals were fabulous! The chef is an very old man who cooks very delicious Japanese style dishes. I stayed here for two nights. The two dinners were the best meals that I ever had during this trip! Even I had been very full already, I couldn't stop eating and finished all dishes as I did not want to waste any piece of food. I will definitely to stay in this hotel for his meals again! The hotel is a bit old and definitely needs refurbishment. The staff told us they are going to carry out refurbishment in Jun 2018. Hope this can improvement the overall living quality. Two young girls can speak good English that made my stay easier. The outside hot spring bath is surrounded by buildings and gates. Not much open view but there are a small maple tree and azalea tree which gives the bath enjoyable. Finally, all of the staff who have served us came out and said goodbye to us. It was my first experience and amazing! I would definitely remember them forever!

교통이 매우 불편함

대중교통을 이용할 예정이라면 절대 추천하지 않습니다. 버스가 끊겨서 다카야마 역에서 택시를 이용하려고 했더니 택시비가 Y20,000 가까이 나오길래 숙박을 포기했고 가이세키 요리까지 포함한 숙박비를 버렸습니다. 택시비로 역 근처 호텔이나 료칸으로 가도 좋은 시설을 이용할 수 있다는 이유도 있었지만 다카야마 역에서 전화로 문의했더니 관심 없다는 태도로 택시를 타라는 답변을 받았는데 고생해서 가도 친절한 서비스를 받을 수 있을 것 같지 않았습니다. 물론 제대로 준비하지 않은 제 잘못이고 와후 료칸 기잔 측에서 어떤 방법을 제시하거나 필요 이상의 친절을 베풀 이유는 없지만 그럼에도 교통이 불편해서 누군가에게 추천할만한 곳은 아니라는 것은 변함없는 사실입니다. 다카야마 역까지 가는 교통 편도 많은 건 아닌데 다카야마 역에서 출발하는 버스는 오후 2시 전에 마지막 차가 떠나고 다카야마 역보다 더 교통 편이 없는 이노타니 역에서는 료칸까지 가는 버스가 하루에 3대 있습니다. 일본 여행의 마지막 날, 오전에 출발해서 하루 종일 배 타고 전철 타며 하루를 보냈는데 가이세키 요리 대신 고헤이 모찌 하나로 저녁을 먹었고 료칸 대신 호스텔에서 자며 마무리를 하고 보니 다음 여행에서는 익스피디아에서 예약하지 않겠다는 다짐까지 했습니다.
