Everything you want in a Ryokan!
Charming, very well run traditional Inn with great amenities and features. Great location with valley views and easy access to old town and a short walk to the Hida Village. Laundry facilities are great. Caretaker/owner is wonderful. Definitely eat the traditional meals offered (western and Japanese options), they will be a highlight of your trip!

Absolutely awesome traditional Japanese hotel experience, the rooms are simple as expected but great views. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The traditional dinner is a must, good value for the amount of food. Not a lot of restaurants around the hotel but only approx 20-30 minute walk to city centre (or short taxi ride away).

First time at a ryokan, so I had no specific expectations. Traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast were excellent. Close to bus stop that’s only about 10 minutes from the train and bus stations. Shuttle service is also available. 10-15 walk from the Hida No Sato open-air museum, although it’s a fairly steep uphill walk.

My family stayed at this ryokan for two nights in November. We would recommend staying here for the experience of a Japanese inn and the fact that it is very authentic. We found the staff to be professional and polite. The drawback is the inn is located in an area quite a distance from the center of town and from all of the temples and shrines. If we were not a family of walkers it would have been a problem. We also reserved and had the dinners each evening which was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Do not be afraid of "sleeping on the floor." It is very comfortable and we slept well! The experience is a MUST during a trip to Japan.

Overall a very good experience! If you are looking for a traditional Japanese stay, I recommend this ryōkan.
Pros: room is tidy and spacious. Public bath available (¥150/day). Wonderful Japanese breakfast and Hida beef dinner (both need to be ordered in advance, dinner - before 4pm). Courteous service and free morning shuttle to the train station!
Cons: futon was fine to my taste but for some it may seem hard. Public bath was nothing special - just showers and one tub. But I'm glad it was availabile: great for a soak after a long and cold day of walking, plus both times I went in there, there was no-one else, so it felt private. The room didn't really lock from the outside, so the key was useless, but it's safe there and if you have valuables, a safety box is available in the room. I would have given it 4 stars but one night I went for a walk, and when I came back the lights of the front desk were off and the automatic doors were turned off, so I couldn't come in. I started banging on the door and calling the front desk but nobody was responding because the owners went to bed. After about 15-20 minutes of panicking somebody came downstairs to open the door. The owner told me that the door is locked at 10:30 pm, so keep this in mind if you're staying here!

Traditional ryokan
Helpful lift to and from train station as this hotel is quite up the hill. Lift has to be prior arranged get a number to call and need to arrive before 5pm. Shuttle into town is 10am.
It’s a traditional hotel so futons and shoes off throughout.
The futons were very uncomfortable and I could sleep.
We also had staff walk into our room after we’d checked in and were getting changed which didn’t help with feeling relaxed.
The squat toilet smelt like a urinal you had to use a toilet in the corridor to get a western style toilet.
There were hairs on the bedding so it wasn’t really clean.
We did use the couples onsen and this was appreciated. But we were glad we were only staying one night.
