Ce ryokan est un peu cher mais le service est vraiment de qualité. On avait une super chambre avec vue sur la ville de Takayama et les montagnes alentours. C'était très calme. Les bains étaient super avec bains intérieurs et extérieurs, un bain à bulle dan

The ryokan was in perfect traditional japanese style. Some of staff have good english but some of them have fair level. We had a misunderstanding from their English about all the onsen have to extra pay but we found it's all free on 1/F, only services in 5

A perfect ryokan experience in a great location perched on the mountainside overlooking the old town. The shuttle bus to and from the station made it easy to make the most of our one-night stay. The room was large and comfortable with a great view, the c

I expected a hotel to have staff that can understand english quite well. Unfortunately this wasn't quite the case. Also the fact that we were made to wait in the waiting room that's filled with cigarette smoke, I was quite appalled. The breakfast wasn't to

Our family stay at Hoshokaku was one of the highlights of our visit to Japan. The staff were welcoming though beware that little English is spoken here. The Japanese style room did not lend itself to lounging, but there is plenty to do in the area and li

Great service. Room was clean and immaculate. We will recommend our friends to stay in Hoshokaku for sure. The journey from Tokyo to Takayama was long but pleasant.

Good location, very close to walking street. Room is nice but the onsen in the room is not hot enough. I was ib Gero last year and I think the quality of the onsen here is not as good as in Gero.

“Exceptional”
Expensive but overall very nice, an experience to try once in a life. Breakfast should include a continental/international option, as the proposed food even if excellent can be impossible to eat in the morning for European people.
