Eph Hotel in Takayama is a nice, small hotel, just a two-minute walk from the train station and in a great location. The hotel is clean and cozy. A friend recommended it to me, and he previously booked a room for $100, which I think is an excellent value for this hotel. However, I booked it for $270, likely due to the festival in Takayama, and at that price, it felt quite expensive. Overall, if you can book it at a good rate, it’s a charming and convenient place to stay.

The perfect place to use as a base.I wonder if it's for foreigners...There is no curtain between the bathtub and washroom, so the floor gets quite wet.

We didnt have high expectations as we were travelling on a budget. But this accomodation exceeded our expectations. It was the best hotel we‘ve stayed at in Japan. Staff was very friendly, you get a free welcome drink at the restaurant downstairs, luggage storage is possible and they bring you the luggage into the rooms. The rooms are very clean, stylish, modern and has everything you need. The location is ideal, close to the station (3min walk), but in a very quiet small street that then leads you straight into the centre of Takayama (5-8min walk). Lots of restaurants around and a convenience store closeby. We loved it here!

It’s amazing. I randomly booked two hotels and they happened to be from the same group, including THE MACHIYA HOTEL TAKAYAMA.

It was close to the station and I was able to get there quickly even in the rain, which was helpful.Although it is a compact hotel, the rooms were spacious, clean, and had beautiful interiors, especially the wooden bathrooms.It was also very convenient to have a luggage storage service.

Im not sure how old this hotel is but it feels clean and new. Dont have many rooms but every room is relatively big for japanese standards. Love the location of this hotel just across the road from train and bus stations. The cafe downstairs was good too but nearby theres alot alot of great food options. Just enjoyed every bit of my stay here, just one small note... need a better tv to support casting
