Amazing stay, excellent service”
Went here last night with my hubby, we ordered a room which apparently the best room in the ryokan. My room called Fuki (Room no 13), a spacious japanese room located on the Ground floor, with wooden bath, mini garden and patio for enjoying our green tea. Surprisingly, the room is extremely clean! Also the ryokan is located in the centre of Takayama.. very close to Morning Market, 5 min walk to Suzuya Restaurant (if you are looking for Halal certified Steakhouse) & 15min walk to the iconic Sanmachi Street. In addition, the owner - Akiko Tanabe, is also very friendly she greeted us at check in and check out time, she even gave as chopsticks as souvenirs at check-out!! While our stay, we experiencing sleep in Futon (japanese bed) on the floor! definitely satisfied with the ryokan and will come here again whenever I come to Takayama..

Best part of the trip”
We went to Takayama during the COVID pandemic state of emergency. Most of the tourist places are closed but staying at Ryokan Tanabe made the trip worth it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great. Staying here gave us the tranquil time off we needed for a short and rare vacation.

The traditional experience ”
We were greeted by the owner who is so kind and very warmed welcoming. Ryokan Tanabe is basically like i am staying with my Japanese family. It provides the Japanese traditional and cultures since we are in. The staffs are very helpful and able to speak English. The room we booked was the Japanese style with half board, we were served Dinner and Breakfast in room. Here is the highlight, the meals, honestly we were like woww and enjoyed this parts so much. In the room the staff will do the beds and set up for each meals. We also enjoyed their Onsen and Bath facilities, it was great! The location is also great, 10 minutes walking to the JR station and about 10 minutes to Takayama old town. Within the area, it is beautiful city. We thought the room price was a bit expensive, however i think it worth to try. I would not hesitate to recommend this Ryokan to anyone who is looking for in Takayama.

Exceptional”
The owner is an absolute sweetheart! The dinner and breakfast were kaiseki style - so LOTS of smaller plates of food served in your room as your chosen time and it was all so fresh and delicious. The surrounding area is beautiful. I took a trip via taxi (a bus is also available) to Hida village which is a preserved old world Japanese carpentry village. A wander around the old preserved village of takayama is a must also which is literally a 2 min walk from this ryokan. The male onsen here in the ryokan is somewhat basic so if that is your thing then it might be worth planning a trip to a separate onsen.

Near to the old streets & a beautiful place to stay!”
Was not exceptionally near the train station, but wasn’t difficult to find. It was very near the old streets but beware they close as early as 5pm. But around the area there is also a lot of food choices etc. Take note shops in Takayama area closes pretty early like 8-9pm. The onsen in the place was nice, both male & females one included an indoor & outdoor onsen. The room was also very big & the breakfast that was included was yummy!!!!!

This was potentially one of the best stays I've ever had! The Ryokan was authentic yet modern, the hosts amazingly kind and helpful and the onsen was delightful. The food served is like nothing I've ever had before and was an experience I'll never forget. I highly recommend a stay here in Takayama, the town is quaint and beautiful. We will be visiting again!

My second visit ”
Wonderful authentic Japanese stay experience. Comfortable room with Osen. And kimono for girls. Super friendly staff. You have to take off your shoes right at the entrance tho, that’s a bit inconvenient, but I guess that’s part of the authentic experience.

Immerse yourself in traditional Japan n the centre of Takayama”
Central location, easy walk from station and easy to get to market and major points of interests. Beautiful hot baths (onsen style) to relax in at the end of the day. Beautiful Japanese breakfast as part of package, we also had dinner one night - both were delicious and exquisitely presented. Whilst the external structure is modern the interior has recreated the sense of a traditional ryokan. Staff helpful and friendly.

Old school ryokan”
Odd old fashioned ryokan. Staff are low key and friendly. English is limited but nothing a bit of miming won't solve. Shoes off at the door and careful with the tatami and everything is hunky dory. Walls are thin so you can hear your neighbour's conversations if you try. Location is a plus.

Old room needs refurbish.”
We booked 2 rooms and one was new and another was old. The old one really need to refurbish as things started to falling off. They should have specified in the descriptions so we would have booked all new rooms.
