Hodakaso Yamano Hotel  

Perched in the mountains of Takayama, this ryokan sits steps from Shin Hotaka Onsen and a short drive from the Shinhotaka Ropeway and Nishihotakaguchi Observation Deck—ideal for onsen seekers and mountain lovers. Family-friendly base for exploring Chubu-Sangaku National Park and nearby waterfalls.

Eighty-six air-conditioned rooms blend warm, traditional ryokan touches with modern comforts—refrigerators, coffee/tea makers, desks, safes and private bathrooms with tubs, bidets and complimentary toiletries.
