Rickshaw Inn  

In central Takayama, a short 5–6 minute walk from the station and steps from the Miyagawa Morning Market. This compact pension/guest house sits near Hida Kokubunji Temple, the Takayama Traditional Buildings Preservation Area and other classic sights like Takayama Jinya and Nakabashi Bridge.

A comfortable, reasonably priced Japanese inn built for independent travelers. Rooms are part of an 11-room guest house with flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms (shower/tub combos, bidets and complimentary toiletries). English-speaking staff, daily housekeeping, a shared kitchen and a quiet library add homey, discreet service.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout, a TV in the common area, and bicycles to rent for exploring the old town. On-site laundry, a safe-deposit box and tour/ticket assistance keep stays easy. Self parking is available (charges may apply).

Complimentary high-speed wired internet, multilingual staff and lobby newspapers make short work of planning or catching up on emails.

Breakfast is offered daily (7:30–9:00 AM) for a fee, and a shared/communal kitchen lets you cook your own meals. Walk out to the nearby Miyagawa Morning Market and sample local Hida ingredients and regional eateries.
