I really really enjoy my stay. It’s a family run hotel, and has a very welcoming a**osphere. The hotel is about 2-3 minutes walk from the bus terminal, super convenient. Because of my tattoos, I chose the room with a private onsen. …

Very conveniently located Ryokan. Free parking on site and close proximity to the coach stop for Kamikochi. You cannot drive into Kamikochi so the coach is the main way in. …

Hiratakan, located @ Hirayu Onsen we experienced the best ryokan. The check-in process was smooth. The room was super clean with great amenities. Hirataken is located 200 meter from the bus stand to Kamikochi. We were hiking Mt Hotakadake the next morning and the gentleman very kindly asked us to park our car at the hotel. We explored Hirayu in the evening and it was beautiful with free public onsens everywhere. In fact there is one onsen right opposite to Hirataken and we dipped our tired feet the next day after we finished our Mt Hotaka hike and it was so relaxing.We loved our stay at Hirataken and would definitely recommend it to other travelers.

Excellent location and service. Rooms were very clean and amenities were provided, including small towels for use in the onsen. There is housekeeping done in the morning. The onsen was also private and well maintained. Location was great, right opposite the bus terminal and next to the general store where you can get snacks water and supplies. V near to the restos as well. Overall highly recommended for a stay in Hirayu Onsen.
