Takumi No Yado Miyama Ouan

Overall ambience, Onsen was great, staff generally very helpful. Location good for skiing and exploring , close enough to Takayama to visit. Kids loved the snow!

Breakfast. Although good quality, 6 days of traditional Japanese breakfast would have been bit much and there were no other options. Options in area also limited to bus station croissants which meant 20 min round trip to get. We only ate breakfast once as kids didn't like. Some areas EXTREMELY dirty - window sills full of dead flies (gross). Noisy Chinese tourists. Being charged $127 per night EXTRA for 7 year old when already 4 beds in room, and being told if the extra fee after the free cancellation period.

This is a very nice traditional Onsen Ryokan. The onsens are lovely and there are lots of options. We really liked the onsen off our room and the outdoor public onsen. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the whole onsen ryokan experience. This was a great way to relax after a week skiing. The staff at reception were really lovely and helpful and the lounge wear and Yakuta were very comfortable.

We booked in for the Hida beef dinner as a special treat and the food was lovely. We understand they have a lot of guests to feed so there are multiple sittings but... we were so rushed we didn’t have time to enjoy our dinner. Actually we had to leave a lot of food as the next two courses had arrived before we finished the first which was disappointing. maybe we eat more slowly than their average guest and we had to learn how to cook on the charcoal bbq etc which took a little while as we are not familiar with this style of cooking.
