Hodakaso Sanganoyu

It's a short 2-3min walk from Hirayu Onsen Bus Terminal. You can easily walk to Hirayu Otaki (Waterfall) for 30 minutes (it might take longer in the snow, but still easily done). The walk will also lead you to the ski resort. If you don't know what to do with your time, you can take a stroll around the onsen town. The ryokan also has a nice private onsen for an additional 1000yen. You can also go on a day trip to Takayama (<40-minute express bus; <1-hour local bus).

The onsen. we try both private onsen and large onsen and we like both of them. The location is near Hirayu Onsen bus terminal and easy to find using google map. It is also have private bathroom for our son who do not like onsen at all. The price we pay for our stays is also very low compare to the facilities we get but I guess we can get this price because we stay just after new year holiday when every body else is starting to work.

Hotel is around 300-400meter far away from bus station . It is difficult to carry luggage in winter season especially road cover ice and snow . Room is great. I choose western style with bed . It is so comfortable for my dad&mum. Room is big separate living room with big window. Bathroom is good. We selected room with half board, price is quite expensive but believe me it is great. Dining and breakfast is a Japanese Kaiseki style. It is a lot of food in dinner with hida grilled beef and so on. Onsen is great both public and private (¥1,000).

Dont have a bus to pick up at station.
