Hida Takayama Guest House Tau Hostel  

In the heart of Takayama, a quick 3-minute walk from JR Takayama Station (west exit). Minutes from Takumikan Craft Museum, Takayama Jinya and the lively Miyagawa Morning Market, this guest house/hostel sits right in the city center in the Hida Takayama Onsen area.

Renovated and reopened in April 2017, the property preserves a 52-year-old wooden structure and showcases warm wood architecture and decor. The small footprint keeps things intimate—there are four air-conditioned rooms with in-room refrigerators and microwaves, showers, mini-bars, hair dryers, safes and coffee/tea makers. Elevator access makes upper floors easy to reach.

Spend evenings at the on-site bar or grab local dishes in the restaurant. Complimentary Wi‑Fi runs across the property. Shared comforts include laundry and dry-cleaning services, luggage storage, a common-area microwave and limited on-site parking.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Luggage storage and laundry services add practical ease for longer stays or quick business visits.

An atmospheric bar and a restaurant serve local Hida flavors and casual eats. Rooms include coffee/tea makers and small fridges, and a common microwave is available for snacks or late-night bites.
