Top Karakuri Museum Hotel Reviews

Relax Hotel Takayama Station

10/10 Excellent

"Only bummers are pay parking and no onsen. Free laundry is super nice.. room was terrific."

Wat Hotel& Spa Hida Takayama

10/10 Excellent

"Big rooms, nice people, great location, excellent onsen !"

Hida Takayama Onsen Takayama Green Hotel (KEIO GROUP HOTELS)

8/10 Good

"This is a large sprawling hotel with a relatively new addition block (2020) I think, in which we had a very nice room looking out onto the wide open area and above the large car and coach parking area. The Hotel appears to cater mostly to Bus tour operators with these arriving and departing daily. The staff were mostly really nice and helpful, we used the outdoor Onsen pool which was great, there were others to choose also. Didn’t have the breakfast in the hotel so can’t comment. The shuttle bus starts running to the train & bus stations at 8:00am which we found very strange, usually a hotel this size would have it running 24hrs or at least from 6am. The hotel is so large unfamiliar guests can easily get lost or not know where to find the different areas. Nice hotel and I’d stay again if ever in Takayama."

Hotel Wood Takayama

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location with onsite parking. Walking distance to all attractions and shops. Rooms were clean & nicely furnished. Compact yet cozy with good amenities. Hotel provided a recommended list cafes/restaurants. There was also free flow of drinks during tea and post dinner (including sake) at Lobby area. Would definitely stay here again."
