Hida-Takayama Guest House TomaruGuesthouse Tomaru (Guesthouse Tomaru), you can find it for NT$1,000 a night. The boss is fluent in Japanese and English, which is great.Here I met Tal who is Jewish from Israel; Krystian who is Polish; and Angela who is from Colombia; Sorry, it’s a 350-meter walk from Takayama Station and it only takes 5 minutes! This is a strong point.Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture, JapanTuesday, October 8, 2024 at 9 a.m.

We booked Guesthouse Tomaru in a short notice as our plan has forced to changed. Wasn't expecting much as we simply just need a place to stay a night. Fortunately we were very lucky to choose Tomaru. The owner spoke fantastic English and explained everything in a smart and easy way for us to understand. You have everything you need to stay here. The accommodation was so cute and full of character. All amenities provided there which included shampoo/conditioner are top quality compared to all other hotels we have stayed! I forgot to ask him what is the brand of the shampoo and conditioner? It made my her smooth like silk!On top of everything, He's even provided us a local map with all the highlight area he recommended us to give it a go. And he was not wrong! What's a great start of our stay in Takayama with all these essential information provided. Couldn't thank him enough and also the 3 hot warmers for us to warm ourselves when we got there. 5 stars for sure!

It's a very cozy B&B. You can see the small details of the hotel layout everywhere. The changing room outside the bathroom can also be heated, so you won't get cold after taking a shower and changing clothes. The hotel has a kitchen where you can cook, and the boss also gives everyone a hot water bottle to put next to the bed to warm your feet at night. It's super special. It's like staying at a friend's hometown for a night. On Christmas Day in 2022, traffic was suspended due to heavy snow, so I stayed one more night. I am very grateful to the people and things I met in the B&B. They helped me a lot. I recommend it to people who like old houses and make friends.

I arrived there without a room in a snow storm. Without being his client, he helped me find another place to sleep. He even called with his home phone to help me. Thank you
