We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's so authentic. I used the onsen and it was a great first time experience. We also included dinner and breakfast. Both were great and unique. The staff was so helpful. The ryokan closed early on our check out morning (11 AM) for scheduled maintenance but they still allowed us to leave the bags and pick them up at noon. This gave us enough time to enjoy and walk the market nearby. We recommend doing this authentic experience at least once while in Japan and this particular one is in a great location. We saw some beautiful mountain landscapes on our bus ride from Kanazawa to Takayama.

We stayed here for one night to experience a Japanese Ryokan and to make use of the onsen. This is a small, family-run Ryokan. On arrival, you are given a kimono and slippers to wear, as no shoes are allowed inside. The staff are welcoming and friendly. We had a traditional Japanese dinner here which consisted of several courses and we came away full! The onsen was very relaxing and I had it to myself most of the time (I went in 3 times!). If you are looking for a traditional Japanese Ryokan, located close to Takayama's main sights, this makes for an ideal spot. Would highly recommend!

This was our first trip to Japan and after almost 3 weeks of travel it was our first ryokan. we stayed for 3 nights and found the whole experience wonderful. Our welcome was both friendly and respectful. The old section of the building is beautiful. Everywhere, thought has been given to creating a warm and relaxing environment- decorations, flowers, lighting, or scent. Our room had tatami matting and futon beds and despite our misgivings, we were very comfortable. We booked the kaiseki dinner for our first night and it was sensational. Such an array of small dishes and equisitely prepared food. We loved wearing our yukata. Breakfast every morning was equally delicious. I had Japanese style breakfast every morning but my husband chose western style on the second day. It was lovely but he could see my breakfast was a feast in every way. The presentation and range of serving dishes was fantastic. I had to ask the staff to please slow down and let me photograph the dishes before she opened them all. The staff were always friendly and helpful.|In terms of location it is an easy walk both to the station and into the town. And the surrounds were quiet. There was even a washing machine on one floor. Takayama is a beautiful town and I will remember my stay there and in this ryokan with great fondness.

Great place to stay, we had a family room with for beds and very large space. Extremely comfortable beds, and the staff were very polite and helpful. Great service. The Japanese menu evening meal is beautifully done although the good was an acquired taste. Highly recommend to stay here

Really friendly and nice touches like choosing your own kimono for wear around the hotel. Onsen just had 1 bathing place but it was quiet, nice and clean.

We stayed a night and enjoyed it thoroughly. | |The room was very spacious, and had all the amenities one would need. Although the onsen was a small one, it was enjoyable and (due to the limited number of guest rooms) generally empty. As for the location, it's less than a 10 mins walk from the railway station, and the rest of Takayama is very walkable. The service was excellent and the staff were able to speak at least basic English. The breakfast and kaiseki dinner were delectable, and featured the region's produce such as Hida beef.

The staff go over and beyond to help. We had accidentally left our jackets in a previous Ryokan. They very kindly organised with the previous ryokan to ship it on to our next location. Very Friendly run ryokan and I would happily stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Ryokan Asunaro. The onsen was relaxing, the traditional tatami rooms were beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. I had a medical emergency and had to go to the hospital one evening so we were not able to make it back in time for the curfew (11pm), but they kept the doors open for us. The location is also very convenient, within a short walk from the bus and train stations. I would definitely come back next time I am in Takayama!
